Everyday Minerals’ Cascading Metallics kit

These colors were all in mini size (10-gram jar with sifter), and the kit included a brush; so this was a good value - even without the fact that it included four colors that weren’t available individually (either because they were exclusive to this collection, or because they had been discontinued some time previously.)

The colors are decent, if a bit lighter/more sheer than other companies’ (similar to many other EDM shades.) The “metallic” component means that they adhere and stay a bit better, and have a bit more heft to them, when compared to Everyday Minerals’ matte shades.

At first glance, the brushes look somewhat usable. The Eye Kabuki has a more domed top (similar to BE’s Soft Focus Eyeshadow brush), but the bristles are a bit stiffer (similar to BE’s Eye Buki brush). The Angled Brow and Liner brush has rather short bristles - but seeing as I only use the final 1/3 of my soft focus liner brush’s bristles for color application anyway, maybe this will work. The Eye Shadow brush looks like it will be a decent brush for spot applications.

The kit included:

  • 12:01 AM — metallic yellow-gold sparkle
  • First Love — metallic silver-grey with blue sparkle
  • Floating Feathers — metallic frost-white sparkle
  • In The Garden — metallic antiqued bronze amethyst sparkle
  • Little Black Dress — metallic black with gold sparkle
  • Room Addition — metallic dark slate-grey sparkle
  • Eye Kabuki bamboo-handled brush
  • Eye Shadow bamboo-handled brush
  • Angled Brow and Liner bamboo-handled brush
