BFTE COSMETICS MINERAL EYESHADOW SWATCHES (PART 1)

I'm not a big fan of mineral eyeshadows, mainly because it's really messy to work with. I usually press my pigments so it doesn't get all over the place. It's been years since I've used mineral eyeshdaows, but I decided to give it another chance. This time I decided to try out some mineral eyeshadows from Beauty From the Earth since I saw some gorgeous colors on their website.

At the time I bought the mineral eyeshadows, BFTE had their back to school sale. You get 6 sample size jars of any mineral products of your choice for $8. So I went ahead and purchased 24 mineral eyeshadows. All of these are from the Shimmer category. I haven't had much time to play around with these, so I'll just do swatches for now. I'll start off with the first 6 alphabetically.

After a few minutes, I realized my arm started to itch and sting a little. Then I looked down and saw this:

I have really sensitive skin and I'm allergic to many things, so I'm not sure if the irritation is from the mineral eyeshadow Chenille or something else. But I'll be checking again to see if it is from the eyeshadow so I could toss it out if it is from it. This is why we always need to test out products before we use them, especially on products we put on our face. And if it is from the eyeshadow, thank God I didn't use it or else I would have had some bump on my eyelid.

I'll be back with more swatches, I've got all these to do ;]

BFTE COSMETICS HAUL

A little over a week ago, Beauty From the Earth Cosmetics had a back to school sale on their mineral makeup. I was very fortunate to have caught the sale on the last day since I've been wanting to try out their mineral eyeshadow for some time now. The sale was 6 sample size mineral makeup for $8, it's usually $2 each. You could pick from any mineral eyeshadow, blush, or foundation.

I love how the website is organized into colors and finishes, so it was very easy for me to shop. I didn't plan on getting 24 samples, but the colors in the shimmer finish were so gorgeous, I couldn't help it. I was surprised that they also upgraded one of the eyeshadow to a full size jar ;] I haven't had time to play around with them, but hopefully I'll get to do some swatches soon. And if they turn out great, I think I'll go get a few more from the velvet frost finish next time.
