So I have been in contact with cuberry.com, which is a makeup company dedicated to using earth friendly ingredients; no preservatives, water, or fillers. They were sweet enough to send me 5 of their mineral shadows to try, and I just recieved them today. I’m impressed!

Top: Super Tokyo, Pink Bikini, Caribbean Soul
Bottom: Secret Garden, Going Green

Top to bottom:
Caribbean Soul
Going Green
Secret Garden
Pink Bikini
Super Tokyo
these swatches were all applied damp with a little water.
As you all know, I’m a sucker for brights, and these are so fun!
Super Tokyo is a nice, bright tangerine orange shade that has a pretty shimmer to it. this is a really pretty summer shadow ![]()
Going Green reminds me of chartreuse pigment from MAC pro, a nice lime green with a good amount of shimmer. i love lime greens, so ill get good use out of this one, espeically with caribbean soul!
Pink Bikini reminds me so much of an old fyranae shadow i had (back when they were still bombshell bath) called pepermind stick that i LOVED, and then they stopped making it. its a really, really gorgeous shimmery princess pink (i think ill be using this for my sleeping beauty tutorial!!)
Caribbean soul is definitely the sparkley one of the bunch. the other 4 are very shimmery, but caribbean soul has silver sparkles in it that make it shine brighter than the rest. the photo shows it looking more green, but i think in person it looks more of a bluish green. very gorgeous, this would look great as a crease color or used wet as a liner ![]()
Secret Garden just may become my staple “i-have-five-minutes-to-get-ready-and-want-to-look-kinda-pretty” color. its sort of hard to see in the pictures, but its a really nice neutral color, especially for me! its a bit darker than my skin, but will work perfect for a quick eye look to make me look more awake. im actually wanting to use it with pink bikini, because i love shimmery pinks mixed with neutral browns.
Overall, I really am impressed with the pigmentation of these all mineral shadows. I haven’t yet played with them on my eyes, but I’ll be sure to do a video using these soon. I’m actually thinking of using the pink and brown for my sleeping beauty look, so you will be sure to see them in action soon!
