I was like a five-year old on Christmas morning when my
Beauty from the Earth sample jars came in yesterday. I've been wanting to try BFTE for a while and finally sprung for some sample sizes after I'd read/watched tons of positive reviews.
The positive reviews are well deserved. I ordered seven of the multi-use minerals and they were all super pigmented. Swatched above, from left to right, are Green Apple (grass-green shimmer), Blueberry (bright blue), Whisper (sheer beige w/ violet duo chrome), Lemon (bright yellow shimmer) , Tangerine (gorgeous medium orange), Raspberry (bright pink w/ slight blue duo chrome), and Karma (red-violet with blue undertone). The picture was taken in my brightly lit bathroom, sans flash, and I used one swipe of each color over clean, non-primed skin. So the payoff on these is fantastic.
Whisper makes a great blending or highlighting color. I haven't actually used Blueberry or Green Apple on my eyes yet but I said "wow" when I swiped that blue on my arm. I could write love sonnets to Tangerine. It is really, really orange but wearable even during the day. I did a "fading sunset" eye look yesterday using Tangerine on the lid, Raspberry in the crease with Karma blended in the top, and Whisper as a highlight. It looked amazing but I forgot to take a picture of it so I'll redo the look later this week and post a mini-tutorial.
I plan to buy the full sized jars of all of these colors ASAP.
