Shany Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadow Set

Which makeup artist doesn't love eyeshadows.  I personally don't think it is possible to have "enough" colors to chose from.  From pigments, to glitters, to baked and more, there are just so many options to choose from.  If you want to know more about some great, affordable, and pigmented colors, keep reading to see my thoughts on the Shany Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadow Set.

Packaging
These eyeshadows came shipped to me in a large black and white Shany Cosmetics box.  The shadows themselves came nicely packaged in a smaller, cardboard box.  Inside, each shadow was separated into sections by a divider.  These loose eyeshadows came in small plastic twist top containers, with the name of the company printed in gold, on all of the caps. The bottom of each container is numbered, which makes it convenient to remember all the colors. There are 40 different shades to choose from, so they divided the box into two sections with 20 of the shades on top and 20 shades on the bottom.

I really liked the packaging because it was very sturdy and housed each shadow securely.  I had no issues with any of the colors spilling out or containers being broken.  Personally,  I removed all the shadows and placed them in a separate plastic container as I wanted to be able to carry it around in my kit and I love to reorganize.  Shany Cosmetics made it is possible to stack the shadows by simply removing the covers and twisting one container onto another.

What I loved about this company was the fact that they also gave a bunch of free, little gifts inside of the box. There were nail art stickers,  small lip gloss sample, and some funky clip in hair extensions.  This little touch really showed that they wanted you to try their products so you can purchase from them again.

Another thing to note is upon receiving the shadows they seem very small.  At first I was a little disappointed because I was wondering where the rest of the container was.  Once you open the cap you really get to see how much product is inside.  Each container is literally packed with color so it is important to be careful when twisting the top off.

Cost/ Shipping
Everyone knows that makeup can be expensive.  This product on the other hand is EXTREMELY affordable.  For this box of 40 eyeshadows,  it cost $30.00 USD + shipping!  That is basically $0.75 for each.  I don't know of any place that carries this amount of loose shadows for such an amazing price. The shipping cost was also very reasonable (as I live in Canada and sometimes they charge and arm and a leg for shipping).  I'm not exactly sure of the price that I had to pay for it to be shipped, as I had bought other products from them at the time, but it wasn't more than $20.00 to ship all of my products.  The best part was the shipping time.  It took less than two full weeks for my products to arrive at my front door in perfect condition.

Product Performance/ Swatches 
Now for the best part.  Do these shadows perform well?  Are they pigmented?  Do they last long? Are the easy to use?  Well,  my answer to all those questions is YES!  These shadows are breathtaking.  The pigmentation is out of this world.  The product is so light and soft but the color payoff is impeccable.  You would suspect that being as these are loose shadows, there would be a large amount of fall out.  Personally, I did not experience any fallout when applying these colors to my eyes.  They adhere to the skin so beautifully and stay on all day and night (of course using a primer comes in handy as well).  The most amazing part about it all is the fact that a little bit of these shadows can really pack a huge punch.  When I apply them,  I usually only need to use the leftover shadow from the cover of the plastic container and it is enough product for me.

These shadows also have a beautiful hint of shimmer in them.  This doesn't cause them to be grainy/ chalky at all.  They are still extremely soft and smooth to apply.

Overall 
Overall, Shany cosmetics has just received a faithful costumer!  My whole experience from ordering my products to using them has been so pleasant.  I have had no complaints whatsoever with my order.  The price plus the quality is phenomenal and is worth checking out.  These are definitely some shadows you will not be disappointed in.

 Before I forget, I must give credit where credit is due.  I wouldn't have purchased or have even know about these shadows if I didn't see them on Samantha Vega a.k.a cosmeticcandiesfyi's youtube channel.  I have been watching her videos for a few months now and when she did a haul/ review on these shadows I knew that I had to try them.  Samantha is an amazing, talented makeup artist who makes youtube videos and also has a blog.   She is extremely informative and always gives her true opinion on products.  I can honestly say that she has never steered me wrong with any of her reviews. So go check her out her youtube channel and her blog to see her opinion and extensive review on these eyeshadows.
