ღReview: Black Rose Minerals and GIVEAWAYღ

Hi there.

Todays review is of a companyy called Black Rose Minerals. This company sells a wide range of beautifully coloured eyeshaddows.
Check them out by clicking on this link Black Rose Minerals


Black Rose Minerlas sent me 11 amazing shaddows out for review. All thease product retail at $1.00(Sample size)
 
First impressions  
The pigments came in an envelope which was beautifully wrapped in a black tissue paper. It also came with a message on a card which had a beautiful silver rose on the left hand side.

The website for this company is really easy to use. They have all the tabs on the left hand side and they have sections for 'Full Sized' and 'Samples'. The full sized eyeshaddows retail at $6.00(3/4-1 teaspoon), Sample jars which retail at $2.50(1/4 of a teaspoon) and they also have $1.00 Samples(1/8 of a teaspoon).
This comapny is very professional and rapidly respond to any email in a professional mannor.
I would deffinatly reccoment this comapny to anyone who wanted some Highly pigmented, Beautiful shaddows for a very low price.



Pigment-Little Boy
Little Boy is an amazing metallic, intense light blue which is highly pigmented and looks beautiful on your eyes. This pigment looks amazing as eyeshaddow and also as eyeliner. You can also use this colour on your lips, nails and anywhere on your face.Personally i think this pigment looks much better wet. Its more intense and stands out.

You can get this pigment from:Little Boy


Ingredients: Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, iron oxide, magnesium myristrate, polyethylene terephthalate and magnesium stearate.



Pigment-Lady
Lady is a beautifully pigmented shimmery green with a slight golden shimmer. This pigment looks great as an eyeshaddow or a eyeliner. You can also use this as a nail polish.
This pigment is NOT lip safe. This means if you use it on your lips then it will do them damage.
Again i prefere this pigment wet.

You can get this pigment from:Lady 

Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, iron oxide, chromium oxide green, magnesium myristrate, blue #1 aluminum lake, yellow #5 aluminum lake, magnesium stearate, hydrogenated polyisobutene, palmitic acid, preservatives and (glycidoxphenol) propane/bisaminomethylnorbornane copolymer.




Pigment-Glam
This pigmentis a purple with a cute metallic shine. It has a very small amount of turquoise and pink glitter in it.I reccomend this pigment wet. Its more intense and brings out more of the purple colour. When its dry it looks more pink then purple. This pigment is great for eyes, lips, face and nails.
The only bad thing about this pigment is that ist NOT vegan. Not vegan refers to their actually being animal by products in the product itself. In this case the non vegan component is carmine, which is crushed up bugs that give the rich red pigment color.

You can get this pigment from:Glam

Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, iron oxide, calcium aluminum borosilicate, magnesium stearate, silica and carmine.


Pigment-Jessica's Favorite
This pigment is a very cute Violet colour which has a violet glitter in it. This pigment is very shimmery and shiney weither it is wet or dry. Again i feel that the pigment is at its most when its wet. This colour is beautiful as an eyeshaddow, lip colour and also as a nail vanish.
Again, this pigment is not vegan which lets it down alittle but does not alter the way in which i view the colour.

You can get this pigment from:Jessica's Favorite 

Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, iron oxide, magnesium myristrate, magnesium stearate, silica and carmine.



Pigment-Ocean Potion
This pigment has to be one of the most favorite pigments this company has sent me. Its a really intense bright aquamarine with aquamarine glitter. Like all of the pigment i have reviewed i reccoment this pigment to be used wet of you would like the full intensity of this colour.

You can get this pigment from:Ocean Potion 

Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, blue #1 lake, hydrogenated polyisobutene, palmitic acid, yellow #5 Al lake, magnesium myristrate, magnesium stearate, ferric ferrocyanide and ultramarines


 Pigment-Dusty Trails
This pigment is a sandy colour with a small hint of pink glitter. This is great for a highlight colour for your eyes. I prefere this pigment wet if i use it on my lids and Dry if i use it as a highlight. This shaddow looks great as an eyeshaddow, Lip colour and great for nails and face.
I would deffinatly recomend this pigment for anyone who is looking for a really cute natural looking eye.

You can get this pigment from:Dusty Trails 

Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, magnesium myristrate, magnesium stearate and silica.




Pigment-Sweet Pea
This pigment is a extreamly cute light pink with a very light pink shimmer. Its a very feminine colour and looks great wet or dry. Again this pigment is NOT vegan. I would deffinatly reccomend this pigment is you are like me and love a really girly eye colour.


Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, magnesium myristrate, calcium aluminum borosilicate, magnesium stearate and carmine.

 Pigment-Confused
This pigment is a golden brown colour with a rainbow glitter.This colour would look great as an eyeshaddow, lip product, nail vanish and anywhere on your face. I deffinatly reccomend this colour if you love a very neautral looking eye. This colour would go great in the crease with 'Dusty Trails' as the colour on the lid. I prefere this colour dry or wet. Its also great for a highligh colour when it is dry.

You can get this pigment from:Confused 

Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, magnesium myristrate and magnesium stearate. 



Pigment-Snow
Snow is a highly pigmentes pearl white with a silver shimmer. It looks amazing wet or dry. This peal white is one of the most pigmented whites iv found so far. I highly reccomend this white if you want a pigmented colour. This colour is great to highlight on your brow bone.
This colour is great for eyes, lips, face and nails. It would look excellent as a french tip.

You can get this pigment from:Snow 

Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, magnesium myristrate, magnesium stearate, silica and polyethylene terephthalate.



Pigment-Fangs
Fangs is such a breath taking colour! Its a very deep purple matte with a very high dosage of glitter in all colours(Mostly pink)This colour is just amazing for a very smokey looking eye or just as normal look. I would deffinatly reccomend this for more of a gothic look or a sexy smokey look. This pigment has to be one of my favorite pigments out of all of the pigments that i have reviewed in the past.

You cannot get this pigment from the online store.

 

WARNING! LOOK OUT!
First of all i didnt realise that some of the pigments had stickers on both back and front.Out of all the pigments i reviewed in this thread, Sweet Pea, Jessica's Favorite, Glam and Lady are the once which  have stickers on both back and front.

Sweet Pea: Not vegan - Not vegan refers to their actually being animal by products in the product itself. In this case the non vegan component is carmine, which is crushed up bugs that give the rich red pigment color. Most people only use Vegan cosmetics. I for one mostly use vegan cosmetics unless there is a colour that i really, Truly like.

Jessica's Favorite: Not Vegan - not vegan refers to their actually being animal by products in the product itself. In this case the non vegan component is carmine, which is crushed up bugs that give the rich red pigment color. Most people only use Vegan cosmetics. I for one mostly use vegan cosmetics unless there is a colour that i really, Truly like.

Glam:  Not Vegan - Not vegan refers to their actually being animal by products in the product itself. In this case the non vegan component is carmine, which is crushed up bugs that give the rich red pigment color. Most people only use Vegan cosmetics. I for one mostly use vegan cosmetics unless there is a colour that i really, Truly like.

Lady: Not lip safe - This means that the eyeshaddow is not safe for the lip area. This could do damage to your lips. This pigment should not come into contact with your lips in any way, Shape or form.

There are also stickers saying Not lip safe/Not Vegan. This obviously means the same as the above.

Here is a picture of each sticker to show you what they look like and what to look out for:





A very nice thing that Black Rose Minerals have done for all UK customers.
Due to Black Rose Minerals only shipping to Canads, United States and Mexico. It was hard for Rosa to ship the package out to me. In the end she messed around with some of the setting as was able to figure out how to add my country. She is in the process of adding the UK to the shipping list but in the meantime, People who would like to make an order, they would need to do it via email.
Please write the subject as 'Uk Order' and type your order and weither it is a full jar, Sample jar or sample bag at the side of the colour you wish to order. Then write your name and address at the bottom. Please not that all email orders MUST be for UK customers only and that you will have to give payment using Paypal.
Here is an example of how to write the email to order:


My overall experience and thought.
Black Rose Minerals are one of the most caring and professional(But funny)online stores i have come across. They are well mannered, happy to help you in any way they can and reply extreamly fast in a very polite and professional mannor.
Rosa(The founder of the brand) is bright, cheerful and extreamly helpful in every way. We had alittle problem with the shipping where she couldnt add me to the shipping list but she did everything she could to make this right and in the end exceeded with her mission. I recieved an email saying 'I like it when i just hit buttons and things resolve themselves. =) ' which i found extreamly funny. I would deffinatly reccomend this company to anyone who would like to purchase eyeshaddows which are extreamly pigmented at a very low price. Also for people who are looking for a company who reply to every email sent to them as quickly and with as much help as they can. If your like me, This comapny is perfect for what i look for in a company.
The only thing i would change about this company is maby the website. It could do with the tab being alittle more bolder, Maby as buttons so everyone (Including visually imapred) customers can view the page as its alittle harsh on the eyes.
Other then that... The shipping was amazing, the pigments are amazing and my overall experience with this comapny is amazing. Id deffinatly reccomend this company to anyone.
