Concrete Minerals’ Souljourner
  • Manufacturer: Concrete Minerals
  • Availability: part of the regular eyeshadow line; also available in the Color Stacks kit
  • Color Range: medium-deep lapis blue shimmer
  • Staying Power: 4 out of 4 stars
  • Cost/Amount: USD$7 for 1.5 grams

  • Similar shades: Meow Cosmetics' Sardonic (almost exact)

Even though I’m reviewing them a week apart, I swatched these two colors almost a month apart…so it wasn’t until I was writing these up that I realized that they were nearly twins. On Concrete Minerals’ site, the color looks like it will be a blackened navy-ish, almost similar to Aromaleigh’s Drama Blue. It’s actually a tad brighter than that…it’s a rich lapis lazuli blue, with a shimmery finish (not a metallic finish) and very little “blackening” that shows up. All I saw when I swatched this color was rich rich blue. And a little bit of gold shimmer.

Adhesion was good, and while it did take a little more work to remove when I was swatching the color, it didn’t have a sooty leave-behind. This is an amazingly lovely color! I don’t know if I got a slightly altered batch or what; but on me this shade really shows up more blue than “blackened”, as it does on the Concrete Minerals site.

Beauty Tip

Put your mascara in your pocket for 10 minutes before applying...especially in cold weather! It warms the mascara and lets it apply more easily.
