Swatch Post! Black Rose Minerals : Coma Black, Glimmer, Nightingale, and Paradise Lost!

By Kristin

Nothing to Disclose

Description from Black Rose Minerals website: This darkly deep violet shimmers ever so slightly but smolders all the way. Wear it dry for a shimmer glower and wear it wet to deepen the shade and compliment every scab of your broken heart.

Ingredients: iron oxide, mica, titanium oxide, tin oxide, ferric ferrocyanide, carnauba wax, magnesium myristate, silicon dioxide, D&C black #2 and polyester 3.
SAFE FOR EYES, FACE AND NAILS.
NOT LIP SAFE.

Personal Comments: The name is a throwback to the song "Coma Black" by Marilyn Manson. It's a little confusing because from my eye, this shade definitely isn't a black at all. It reminds me of the "royal purple." The deep shade of purple worn by royals in the past. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. Pictures taken indoors under a bright daylight bulb.

Description from the Black Rose Minerals website: A mysterious and dark duochrome. Do I see blue? Or is it......curiouser and curiouser. A blue black base gives way to multiple color highlights. Worn wet it gives opaque color coverage to bring out the iridescent sheen and dry for a very dark smokey appearance.

Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, iron oxide, magnesium myristate, copper powder, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide

SAFE FOR EYES, LIPS, FACE AND NAILS

Personal Comments: The difference between the macro shot and the swatch really brings out the duochrome here. From farther away, Nightingale is a nice deep blue with purple undertones but you can really see the green in the macro. The swatches on the Black Rose Minerals website shows a more purple shade than I see here. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy.

Description from Black Rose Minerals website: The career tribute from District 1 as mentioned in the Hunger Games, this golden hue is just as fierce and unforgettable. A bright golden sheen with a luminescent green flash. Sheer when dry, wear it wet to deepen the hue and bring the duochrome to the forefront.

Ingredients:mica, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, iron oxide, calcium carbonate, magnesium myristate, carnauba wax and silicon dioxide.

SAFE FOR EYES, LIPS, FACE AND NAILS.

Personal Comments: A very glittery orange/yellow shade. I didn't see any of the "green flash" mentioned in the description though. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. Pictures taken indoors under a bright daylight bulb.

Description from Black Rose Minerals website: Though it might be better to reign in hell than serve in heaven, we think we’ll take our chances right here on earth. This shade glistens like a deep pool of water, the black base representing the depth below. Fairly true to color wet and dry, dry is slightly more sheer while wet accentuates the boldness of the blue.

Ingredients: iron oxide, mica, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, ultramarines, chromium oxide green, carnauba wax, silicon dioxide, magnesium myristate, calcium aluminum borosilicate and silica.

SAFE FOR EYES, FACE AND NAILS.
NOT LIP SAFE.

Personal Comments: A deep blue shade that reminds me of oil drops on water. I like the almost green shade that comes out in the macro but that's not something that you can see without being up this close. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. Pictures taken indoors under a bright daylight bulb.
