"My beauty addiction" Mineral eyeshadow samples

So a couple weeks ago I found a store on etsy called my beauty addiction http://www.mybeautyaddiction.esty.com/ She sells a whole bunch of different beauty products. I ordered a deal she has : 10 sample shadows for $5. She has over 100 eyeshadow colors to choose from. The sample come in small ziplock type of bags. I would say that the samples are about a teaspoon. The ingredients that she uses in her shadows are:

mica, titanium dioxide, magnesium stearate, may contain iron oxides, zinc oxide, ultramarines, carmine, ferric ferrocyanide. Only a few of her shadows include carmine and ferric ferrocyanide.



After Swatching the samples I received my initial thoughts are that they are decent shadows. They are fairly pigmented and true to color. I did 3 types of swatches, Dry application, with eyeshadow primer and wet application. I would not recommend using these shadows just dry without a primer. I accidentally brushed my arm against my sweater and the dry application swatches were almost gone. The wet application swatches had the best pigmentation and staying power. The shadows do have a bit of fallout when you are applying. They apply easily but do not blend as well as I had hoped. The application also wasn't that even so I suggest that you really swirl your brush in the color and then tap, making sure that the bristles are evenly coated for an even application.
The colors shown from left to right:
Electric blue, electric pink, electric coral, electric orange, electric yellow, sugarplum, radioactive, warm bronze, topaz and swiss chocolate.

All in all these shadows were pretty decent. They are not the best shadows I have used... BUT certainly not the worst!!
