Review: Sass N Frass mineral makeup


 














Buy here

$18.00 for 3-5g eyeshadows
Shipping is $7.00

Review:
I want to preface this by saying that I buy loose pigements from several indie makeup brands regularly so I do have some idea what I am talking about.

I was very excited to get this item to review but upon seeing the shipping price, I don't think I would order. I love the product but 3-5gram eye shadows is about 0.5oz in weight. This should ship USPS first class at about $2 shipping. First class is qualified as 13oz and under which is $4 at most. Even a padded flat rate envelope which would fit hundreds of these containers is less than $6 or a Regional rate A box is less than $5 to ship.

All of this has NOTHING to do with the product but that's not the only thing I look at when I am shopping. There have been numerous brands that I have been super excited to buy but then I get to the shipping screen and just close out without buying anything because of the shipping prices.

From a consumer standpoint, I would appreciate more information on the company's website. There are no ingredients listed and practically no information on any of the makeup products. I have no clue if the color I was sent is supposed to be the one in the picture above or just a random color that was sent out.  On the listing for the Earth Trio pictured above, there are no colors or ingredients listed. 

I received one of these 5 gram jars for review and I really liked the eyeshadow. I was sent Twilight, it's a mossy green color with lots of sparkliness. I used this color in my crease and I was very pleased with how it turned out. It blended easily and was very pigmented.

It lasted about 4 hours on me before it started to fade noticeably. I was outside in the heat with no primer underneath so that could have affected the wear time.

This is a picture of the first time I tried it.

    1. Hi there! The trio is listed at $18 on your site which is the information that I was given for the promotion. The item that I was sent for review isn't listed on your site individually. If you would like to send me the correct information through the Tomoson messaging service, I will correct the link.

      3-5g means three 5gram containers which is how the trio is listed. The shipping price is listed on your website as a flat rate of $7.00, not based on how much you purchase.

      By the way, I get an email for every comment that is left on my blog so even if you delete it, I still know what was said. It's always nice to know what type of business people I am dealing with. Thanks for the feedback and have a wonderful day.
