Black Rose Minerals swatches

So, I recently purchased from Black Rose Minerals.  The packaging is adorable, you get stickers and caaaandy, and samples!  I love samples!  I previously only had a sample of Edward given to me by the lovely Kendra.  If all this is TL:DR, then take this from it:  BUY ALL THIS SHIT.  IT'S AMAZING.

So, my BRM purchase.


Woot!  A nice little start.  This is going to have pictures and links and everything!  Click for the jump!


First swatches are:
Toshiro Lovely icy turquoise with aqua and silver sparkles, mmmm smoooth!  From The Soul Reaper collection.
Ichigo Black base with copper sparkles, reminds me of a fire almost burnt out, glowing embers in an inky soot.  From The Soul Reaper collection.
Rukia A velvety purple almost satiny because of the metallic sheen.  Also from The Soul Reaper collection.
Doll Face Almost a bubble gum pink, bit a bit darker, and a lot more attitude.



Oracle Super hard to describe, I took two pictures because of this shade, it's a medium brown, slightly reddish, with a lovely teal/aqua/almost limey yellow shift and flash, if that makes sense.
Into the Void An amazing black with blue/violet and green sparks.  Loooove it.  Look at that purple sparkle.  DAAAYUMMM.
Nevermore Is a smooth black base with a lot of blue sparkles paired with some green.  Part of the Collection of the Perverse.
Annabel Lee A lovely cornflower blue, with coppery glitter.   Collection of the Perverse.


 Had to take another picture, of Oracle without anything under it and VERY lightly applied.  Soooo pretty!  This shows the sparkles a lot better, too.


Spike A foresty sort of green that makes me think of living, fresh things, with some bright green glitter.  Part of the Space Cowboy collection.
Hecate Lovely lavender!  This color is a buttery duochrome that changes to a green that is almost teal.
Nightingale is another lovely duochrome.  It's a blue-ish black color, with a slight shift to purple on my skin.
Lovestruck Peachy golden rose, like a delicious champagne. (Love Me Love Me collection).



Zoidberg is in the sample baggie, it's a lovely coral color, with a touch of blue glitter seen as more of a sheen in this picture. New New York collection.
Strider is in the other sample baggie.  Dark, dark brown, verging on black, with frosty silver glitter that pop out at you. (from the Collection to Rule Them All),
Love Will Tear Us Apart  I found to be a brown/maroon color, definitely has a silvery sheen to it.  Absolutely LOVE this color.  Kinda looks like Foie Gras by China Glaze.  (Mixtape Collection),
Love Fool A rosy brown with golden glitter, I find it quite flattering to my odd, slightly yellow skin tone. (Love Me Love Me collection).


I had to get a loose glitter.  This one is Stardust, under it is Edward!
Edward is a lovely rust-orange color with a golden sheen.  It makes my hazel eyes look super green.  It's part of the Space Cowboy collection.
