Before Christmas I was contacted by Molly of Psyche Minerals to check out her company. She sent me some PR samples and I was able to play! Her site is on Etsy, so navigation is easy and purchase is a snap. Full sizes are $3 and samples are $1.50. Samples are 1/4 a teaspoon in a plastic bag, while full sizes are in a clear 3 gram jar that gets filled up to where the threads start.
Here are the lovely products. Molly takes the time to package them with a custom note and they’re inside organza bags.
All of the jars of color I received were clearly labeled. They came in clear 3 gram jars.
Color Descriptions:
Zoma is a beautiful bronze tinged sepia with green and red glitter.
Coatal is a beautiful shimmery raw sienna with red glitter.
Ultraviolet Rhapsody is a beautiful cool toned purple based mineral shadow with a blue sheen and sparkle.
Durran is a lavender with blue sparkle.
Posidon’s Rage is a beautiful slightly tealed blue based mineral shadow with a wonderful shimmer and silver sparkle.
Zap Bird is a fantastic darkened periwinkle mineral shadow with a purple sheen.
Slime is a vivid aqua blue with fuchsia glitter.
I LOVE Slime! Slime is such an intense, pigmented aqua blue and the fuchsia glitter makes it so cute.
Ultraviolet Rhapsody is really pretty and its duochrome nature really draws my attention. Coatal is a rich and complex brown with hints of red and green glitter.
One of the things that I like about Psyche Minerals is that the colors have a geek theme with their names. You can find Star Trek references and Dragon Warrior references in the names, which I find cool. In fact, she’s going to be doing an entire Monster Rancher themed collection!
The ingredients are clearly listed for each eye shadow color in their individual listing.
For example, Ultraviolet Rhapsody’s listing is as follows.
Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, iron oxide, calcium, aluminum borosilicate, silica, caranuba wax
Would I purchase from Psyche Minerals?
Yes! Her prices are reasonable, her ingredients are good, and she’s got some lovely colors to start. I like her themes for naming colors and collections. The gamer inside me squees over a Monster Rancher collection.
The color Slime really is beautiful. The name makes me smile because of the Dragon Warrior reference and the color is just so neat.
Have you tried Psyche Minerals? What do you think of this new company?
Edit: I forgot to include shipping in my review so I wanted to go back and add it in. Shipping is $2 for the first item and it lists .75 cents for each additional item. However the listing also states that you will be refunded any overage of shipping costs via PayPal.
PR samples were sent for consideration. All opinions are my own.

Hello Cotton
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m very glad you liked the colors! I had you in mind while I was making Slime the night before I sent your items out!

I really love it!
I have had my eye on Ultraviolet Rhapsody & Posideon’s Rage. Now that i see Slime close up, I have my eye on it too
Yay, yeah Ultraviolet Rhapsody is really pretty.
Oh! Ultra Violet Rhapsody looks GORGEOUS! Looking through the site “Cryptocrystalline” and “Seven of Nine” look really pretty as well.

They look great! I had a look around the store and there are a few colors I love, especially “Seven of Nine”.

I just adore that name!
I have to have Tribble. That is one of my fave episodes of Star Trek. I remember as a kid wanting a bunch of these cuties.
Aww! The trouble with tribbles….
Is that the standard packaging? So thoughtful!

It seems like it
The listings say:
All are items are safely packaged in organza bag wrapped in tissue paper. Included with your purchase will be a list of ingredients in each item you’ve purchased.
Awww the colors are so pretty!
Please do a look using Durran and Slime. Both colors look amazing!

I’ll try to do one soon! I have one planned with Ultraviolet Rhapsody and Slime.
Ooooh, these are all beautiful. $3 for a full size is a total bargain, too!
$3 for a 3 gram jar definitely isn’t bad.
lol you ladies are going to bankrupt me! I have orders with Hi-Fi, Sugarpill, Meow, Glamour Doll etc!
it’s all good though

Awww! What are your favorites?
Oh love some of the colours on her site…sadly she wont sell to the UK.
kristen recently shared..MUA lipstick shade 10 review also clear mascara
She did leave a comment saying that you can convo her to get shipping costs to the UK
I ended up ordering; Tribble (of course), 24K Coral, Xyrillians, and Little Surprise, all in full size. Can’t wait to try them. I truly love your blog, but you are bad for my wallet.
Awesome colors though
I just ordered from her last week and got a few Star Trek shades…I grew up on that show and love it (all of the subshows as well, my fave being Odo and ol’ skool Spock). Thanks for writing about them, Slime is GORGEOUS!

I was surprised by how pretty I found Coatal.
Oh goodie another mineral make up company to add to the list, to bad she doesn’t ship worldwide.
Properly a good thing cause I’ve have load of shadows anyway LOL
She just left a message below that if you convo her she’ll give you a quote to ship worldwide
Ooh, goodie! something to check out!
What caught your eye?
I do ship world wide for those of you who are interested. In my shipping info or on my announcement it states to message me for a quote. I’m more than happy to send my loveliest shines anywhere!

Ooh they look really beautiful, and I agree that Slime is particularly lovely. ‘Retro Pink’ looks gorgeous too. And I love that the listings show them swatched both wet and dry.
Hopefully she’ll start shipping outside the US soon
She already does, if that helps
Just convo her.
