Hello everyone! Sorry for being MIA for the past few weeks, but i'm back to make another blog review for my amazing readers out there ^_^.
I know some of you have a lot of eyeshadows that comes in individual pans, or in every palette you have and some may come in matte to shimmer forms but today I wanna share these beautiful mineral eyeshadows that I recently purchased from VIRGINIA OLSEN

For the packaging the mineral eyeshadows comes in small cube containers which has a silver cap on top with the brands name on. And on the bottom has their each specific names for the mineral eyeshadows:
Each Mineral eyeshadow cost Php 165.00 only.
According to their website Virginia Olsen's mineral makeup are 100 % natural, paraben free, bismuth and talc free, it's pure mineral makeup thats suitable for any woman of age and great for any skin type. 

Their formulations are calming to the skin, making them ideal for women prone to sensitivities; and being fragrance-free, they are particularly compatible with delicate skin, giving a sheer, natural, flawless coverage. Further, our makeup unlocks the therapeutic properties of zinc oxide and the natural sunscreen provided by titanium dioxide.

So here are some mineral eyeshadows that I purchased, starting off I picked three beautiful purple shades that's great for alluring soft contrast colors :
LEFT - RIGHT
Winter Orchids, Raisa, Lilac
Next I also picked three shades that I prefer for more highlights for my eyes and even for a bit of highlight to my face structures:
LEFT - RIGHT
Moonlight Star, Fairy dust, Tinkerbelle
For the last eyeshadow I got a dark brown shade that's perfect for lining my upper & lower lash lines.
CHOCO EYELINER
These mineral eyeshadows are sealed with plastic stickers that prevents them from falling out everywhere once you open each lids. 
Now for each swatches of the mineral eyeshadows:
I noticed that from it's appearance they kind of have a shimmer/y side but the color is bold enough to be shimmer/y. 
After swatching each shades I noticed that the eyeshadows are not too shimmer/y instead they have a sheer finish like not too less or too much but the color's payoff is absolutely pretty because it has a tiny tiny shimmer in it. For the lightest shade which was Raisa and the next medium shade which is Lilac and the last color was a darker shade which was Winter Orchids.
Each color has their own unique sheer finish and one small amount was enough to get the color swatch on the back of my hand.
Next I got these three mineral eyeshadow colors that I said earlier is great for more highlight points for your eyes and face structures like you cheek bones , brow bones and any where were you want highlights for your face.
 The first shade which was Tinkerbelle has a sheer semi- matte finish while for Moonlight Star and Fairydust are on the sheer shimmer finish side. 
For the last color which is the Choco Eyeliner :
 First I thought it was going to have dark color finish to it but I was impressed with its color swatch it's not too dark and has also a semi-matte finish to it. 

Now for my Final Verdict:

PROS:
