I recently had the opportunity to try out several mineral eye shadows from Beauty From The Earth. Crystal, President of BFTE Cosmetics, sent me this 16-piece sample set that comes with a tin case. Each sample comes with 0.5g of product. These samples actually last quite a while if you like to experiment with different color combinations like I do. :) Check out the swatches and a makeup look using 5 of these colors! Read more...

This palette comes with 6 pretty eye shadows and a travel-size Aqua Eyes in "Mat Black 0L". This palette is a great way to get a variety of permanent shades without spending a lot! Read more...
