Beautiful Pigments: Sassy Minerals "Gasoline Rainbow"

I was contacted by Sassy Minerals last year to see if I'd be interested in trying out some of their minerals. I was very impressed by their colours so I was happy to try some bits and pieces out. They sent me quite a few of their eye shadows, blushers and a couple of foundations. I've been impressed with everything so far, I love the colours they've created.

The absolute stand out shade is a liner called "Gasoline Rainbow". That one made it into November's monthly favourites and I've done a video review for it (which you can see here).

Samples of their pigments are available for $0.75, and full sized jars are $4.25. Yes, they ship world wide (since I have some).


This is one of those mineral pigments that a photograph just cannot do justice to. Even the one on the website doesn't show the true beauty and complexity of this liner. The gorgeous rainbow sparkle actually shows up quite well in the video though.

It has a matte black base and is loaded with rainbow sparkles. Absolutely packed with them! This even out does Fyrinnae's "Fyre & Ice". This has every colour sparkle available, I think! I can see red, purple, blue, green, copper, gold. Basically it's the effect you get when oil or petrol spills into a puddle.

You can see from the swatch photo that this is a pigment that you absolutely have to use with a wet brush to get the best effect out of. I just dampen my MAC 266 brush and use that to create a cream texture to apply as liner.

The best part is that the amazing rainbow effect even shows up when it has been applied. I've tried many black mineral liners with different coloured shimmer and sparkle and they've only ever applied as black. The rainbow of this shows through.

I'll be treating myself to the full sized jar once I've used up my sample.

I got this for free to review, no one's paying me to tell you how awesome it is. And it is awesome.
