Benevolent Beauty Box Subscription Review Update: Modern Minerals – Eyeshadow (Surya)

So in an effort to actually follow through on swatches and such I wanted to update the eye shadow with a color swatch. I would do the same with the color changer lipstick primer but I am going to send it to Onderria who can maybe throw us a post about it as a more in depth thing or update like this. Or not… lol people get busy! I just don’t feel right about touching it as she will be using this on her lips. Plus she wears lippy more than I do, so it will be better to get her thoughts right? 🙂

 

Here is what I wrote from the last review (found by clicking here for the full thing): You can notice that the picture was not great for actually seeing the color….

Modern Minerals – Eyeshadow (Surya): This is awesome and something I wanted to see in this box which is a NEW color. This is why you pay a little more for this type of box! Modern Minerals is a company with the focus of “non-toxic emotions.” Which I can get behind!

I get toxic emotions when my subscription boxes are late… 

 

Now for the swatches! It was actually super hard to catch this color as it changes with the light. There is a plum undertone that I just could not get. It shows in indoor light. However the copper is very much there in all light.

This is my finger dipped in it. As minerals are super great for layering for more color. I am really taken with the fine mill of the minerals. It really does seem to me awesome quality!

Out and about in the sun! Sorry about my freckle if that upsets you. But I have to work with the forearm I have! The light really catches the shimmer! I sort of just dusted it on so its a sloppy swatch but if you read here a lot you don’t expect much more right?

 

I hope I was able to give you a good idea of what this color is like and also a bit about the quality of it. I am impressed with the staying power and how easy to blend it is!

    Thank you for the follow up! It looks yellow gold on your finger (not flattering for my coloring) but the swatch on your arm… Ooh! Pretty!! The eyeshadow looks nice too. 😉 Love the freckle!

      LOL!!! It changes color A LOT. The finger shot was indoors with some sunlight on the iphone. The arm shot (thanks I feel weird showing freckles) was in direct sunlight. It feels more copper than yellow just on how it looks to me. I have a pink undertone so maybe I will update this post and email you with an eyelid shot as yellow wont look good for me either…

    Ohhh you swatch looks like a bird! A bird with a freckle-eye!

    The bird is upside-side down if you think I am weird. Which I might be.

      I think I see it!!! I didn’t have the touch like you do with the kitties!

    I love that color[s]!! So shimmery. I like feeling like some sort of goddess when I wear golden eyeshadows. Hah, and don’t be ashamed of freckles, they’re great! My arms always are covered in cat scratches.

      I was thinking today that Bella seems far too sweet to scratch anything!

      • July 20, 2016 at 12:13 pm

        She’s super feisty and mean but ONLY to me! Yet she is sweetest and most cuddly to me, much like a toddler… I often am just standing and she will jump up and nip at my hands, or when I am laying down she will come over and bite my foot or calf for no reason. Moody cat jerk…

        Btw, are you doing Cat Box this month? I liked it okay, but I could see the item you said I’d use, but honestly I won’t because I don’t like that kind of bookmark! Also, the towel is tiny, so I am using it for Bella.

          My kitty was kinda a jerk and would get me but now she doesn’t and she tries to be gentle when she can. Your kitty thinks you are another kitten!
