Today I thought I'd talk about Shea Moisture's Mineral Eyeshadow in Ametrine, Montana, and Onyx. Shea Moisture is a brand that promises to deliver natural, organic and sustainable beauty products to their customers. They also donate 10% of their community commerce sales to women led businesses, which I think is incredibly generous of them. For the longest time I'd only known them for their hair-care and body products, so when I stumbled upon their makeup display in Ulta I was SOLD.
There are currently 20 colors in their single eyeshadow line. I chose Ametrine, Montana and Onyx. Ametrine is a deep plummy purple shade with a satin finish, Montana is a light shimmery pink shade that applies almost glittery, and Onyx is just your standard matte black shade. They come conveniently packaged in a snap closure style compact with a clear lid, and each one contains 0.10 oz of product. At 5.99 each they're very reasonably priced, and if you shop smart you can probably catch them on sale as well.
To be honest they aren't the most pigmented eyeshadows I've ever had in my collection before, but they do layer beautifully over an eyeshadow base. I used my own Eco-Jo Vegan Eyeshadow Primer (available via my Etsy shop - link listed at the end of post), and the colors intensified immensely. The shade Montana is also a somewhat chunkier formulation, but boy does it shine wonderfully! Due to the drier formula of these eyeshadows I also suggest taking precautions for the possibility of fallout. Overall I think these are great shadows if you don't mind having to pair them with a primer. I also love how affordable they are - it shows that one doesn't have to spend a fortune to be able to afford all natural green beauty products.
