Surprisingly there hasn't been a lot of buzz about Black Rose Minerals. Jasmine the owner of High Voltage and Heather of Eyeconic both recommended the company to me. As I mentioned in a pervious post I placed a small order and had some difficulty with the cart. I contacted Rosa over Twitter and she figured out what the problem was. I hadn't even reached the six dollar minimum. HERPADERP. Rose was very patient with me and understanding of my...brain fart. When I opened my package I was really impressed by the care that went into it. Everything was inside a small paper envelope with a stamped rose on it. The free samples, plus a coupon and the invoice were in a separate plastic baggie from the samples I bought.

Laying out my samples I was impressed by the color array but annoyed at myself for picking such "easy" colors. My annoyance was over quickly once I started to actually use the eyeshadows. All of the colors except for the two free samples (Ares, the red color and Squash, the pumpkiny orange.) and Poseidon are from the NSFW collection. There are two colors that you can only get if you buy the whole collection and those colors are Traffiking (the yellow based orange.) and Dionysus (The true purple, aka my favorite.) Ocean Potion (A pretty blue with hints of teal in it.), Dollface (The nearly magenta pink.) and Gremlin (The monster green.) are all part of BRM's regular collection. I'm defiantly ordering again. I'm looking at Peacocky which could be the perfect peacock teal that I'm looking for. Mome Rath looks super pretty too! Gah!

Do you guys stick to "safe" colors when you buy from new companies? I seem to have a lot of similar colors that I don't end up using because I have a favorite amongst those. I'm currently writing a Persephone Minerals review for all of you! Yay!
