Concrete Minerals Haul

I picked up a Heartsy voucher for Concrete Minerals last month.
The voucher cost $9 and was valid for $21 to use at
the etsy shop. I ordered right away.
My order took well over 2 weeks which was long but somewhat
expected due to the high volume of orders they received.

Concrete Minerals has some of the best packaging I have ever seen!
I spent exactly the cost of my voucher.

I ordered the Mermaid Collection and Kismet.
I also received 2 potted samples.
The potted samples are HUGE!
Concrete Minerals standard size is 10 grams and
the samples are 5 grams ( could be 3 grams but I am not sure)

All the information you need on the bottom of the pigment pot!

Swatches in the sunlight
I really liked all the colors. They are were very smooth and opaque.
I really liked Croma. It is a gorgeous lavender with sparkle.
Pricing is cheap if you consider that you are getting a 10 gram jar
of product. 
10 gram pots containing 1.5 grams of product -$7
They also have a specials section here.

Here is a look I did using
Croma, Temptress and Black Metal



Overall thoughts?

I like this company. I did have issues with the shipping
both times I placed an order but the quality of the
product makes up for that.
The pigments are great and priced nicely.
I would suggest buying with a friend and splitting pots.
You could really get a nice stash going by doing it that way.
Concrete Minerals launched their new website which looks
AMAZING! Easy to navigate and all their product and model pictures
are fantastic.

Do you like Concrete Minerals?
What are your favorite pigments from them?

Thanks for reading,

  2. I love them! You get a crazy amount of product for the money. My favorites are Napalm, White Rabbit, Temptress, Zealous, and Seance. I really like the look of Kismet, but it's a waste for me to buy it...pinks just don't work for me :)

  3. Love Concrete Minerals! I just ordered from them the day their new website opened, and took advantage of their 20% off special. I got four full-size shadows in Brat, Lolita, Rocked and Lithium, and then got two of the deluxe samples for free, in Swamped and Wicked. I think my favorites are Lolita and Wicked, though Rocked has a really nice duochrome effect.
