Haul: Sassy Minerals

At the end of last year, I was lucky enough to receive some samples from Sassy Minerals. I've loved using them and you can see some FOTDs and posts under my Sassy Minerals tag. While I had made a few posts about the eye shadows, I hadn't made any mention of the foundation. I got sent a couple of different foundation samples to try out which I had only recently dug out to test.

My pretty much perfect match was "Cool Light" and, as my Lily Lolo foundation had run out, I ordered a full sized jar.

My package arrived just about 10 days after I placed the order so I was quite impressed! I also ordered a full sized jar of one of the samples I received - a very beautiful eye shadow called "Apparition". Somehow, one or two other samples snuck into my cart!

Prices:
-Full sized foundation - $14.00
-Full sized eye shadow - $4.25
-Sample eye shadow - $0.75


-Foundation "Cool Light"
-Full sized eye shadow "Apparition"
-Eye shadow samples "Expertise", "Taste The Rain", "Psych"
-Free samples "Off Kilter", "Crown Jewels"

Free samples are included with every order. I already had a sample of "Off Kilter" so I just added the two jars together.


I swatched the 4 new colours I received. They're not the best, the sun was going down as I was taking photos so there's a bit too much flash going on. To see the swatches of "Off Kilter" and "Apparition" please go to my initial Sassy Minerals post.

Overall, I'm very impressed. I already knew the shadows were worth checking out, but I'm also hugely impressed with the foundation. I'm not even the lightest shade which makes a change. The full sized shadows are very reasonably priced and I'm thrilled that the samples come in jars, which are only $0.75 each! I'm pretty sure I'm going to be ordering again in the future.

  1. I'm waiting on my own Sassy order to arrive...so thanks for swatching Taste the Rain and Crown Jewels (which I had ordered late last week, and haven't gotten a ship-notice quite yet. I expect the holiday weekend munged them up a smidge.)

    But now I got to see what these colors looked like!

  2. @LiAnn - I didn't get a shipping notice at all. Taste the Rain is far pretier than the swatch, but isn't that always the case?

  5. @N - I think it's the best match I've found so far, even more than Lily Lolo.

    @Melly - it depends on what you order and which country it's going to. My shipping was below $5, but if you order more it's going to cost more. Their shipping prices are very reasonable.
