As some of you may know, I own a shop on Etsy called PiNK Culture Cosmetics. As of today, I haven't sold anything yet, but it's okay because I feel like I am in a discovery phase. I have been ordering from other Etsy-based mineral makeup companies as of late just so I can see how others are doing their business. I can then see for myself aspects of their businesses that I like and don't like.
Yesterday in the mail, I recieved a cute pink envelope from Mineral Love. I don't know much about the company itself, except that the owner's name is Tricia. I chose the "Random Eyeshadow Sampler Pack."
Let me start here by saying I absolutely LOVE the presentation! I have never seen anything like this from any company before!
I won't lie here, my initial thought here was "That's all I get?" when I saw the teeny little baggies taped to the piece of paper. Don't be fooled though, folks! There's more in there than you think! I don't like to keep baggies in my makeup stash as they tend to spill everywhere. I had some 3 gram clear jars for my sample sizes (not that I condemn using baggies for samples, just personal preference), so I decided to empty the baggies into them. Boy, was I surprised! For you Fyrinnae fans, the amount you get in these is about equal to the amount Fyrinnae gives you in their FREE samples. Not bad! The tiny baggies are actually amazing in the sense that they make emptying them so easy!
As for the shades, see for yourself:
(swatches are first done over bare skin and then Pixie Epoxy, from left) Brittany, Magpie, Iced Pewter, Jennifer, and Mimi.
Personally, I love these! Since these were randomly chosen shades, I thought it was SUPER cute that she included at the center of the presentation the shade "Brittany," which is my name!
All in all, I was really pleased with my purchase. I loved the shades and the packaging overall. I can't wait to order from Mineral Love again! Thank you, Tricia! <3
