I tried very hard to capture the beauty of my mineral eye shadows on film but am finding it nearly impossible. Here's the best I've come up with so far. First charts comparing many colors at once. I tried to use different angles to show some of the interesting differences between colors. Still doesn't capture the beauty of in real life colors. All colors are available in your choice of jar size but usually 5 gms is enough for a very long time.
5 gm $5
10 gm $9
20 gm $15
30 gm $20

GREENS AND BLUES-
I love bold green and blue liners so you will find a wide variety of them here.
All have shimmer although to varying degrees. Notes on colors-

• Severa- is it green, is it blue, is it gray? You tell me. A medium depth of color. Lots of sparkle. Named after the dragon in Aargon that was blue
  
• Venerable Vert-  "gray green" - beautiful green that isn't over-powering.
• Mermaid's Flash- this one will get you noticed- bright turquoise that is slightly more green.
• Limeade- acid green- lemon-lime color. Bright shimmery color- not for the faint of heart.
• Olive It- green olive color with shimmer.
  
• Olive Fab- Instead of "olive drab" this is Olive Fab- dark olive color with a coppery sheen. Very interesting and gorgeous.
• Green??- This is a deep emerald green, green color. Great as a liner
• Totally Teal- Teal color that is a tad more blue than green. A bit lighter than "Tealy" Awesome liner
• Tealy- my favorite teal (used in above eye look) Slightly greener and darker than Totally Teal.
• Interesting- Dark blue color with a teal green sheen that shows up in the light. Very Interesting.
• Mystical Blue- Dark blue with a purple highlight color when the light catches it just so.
• In The Navy- Deep navy color- darkest of the blues, almost black with blue highlight aspect
• Blacken Blue- Dark blue with somewhat cadet blue sheen
• Brilliant Blue- bright deep blue- bright sapphire sheen to it
• Ocean Ahh- Green blue light-medium shade that has a purple/pink sheen. Not same old blue
• Sea Mist- light to medium blue with lighter version of the color as it's sheen
• 

  Greens and Blues

Blues and Greens another look-
PURPLES AND BLACKS-
Some of these are color change ones that are very hard to capture on film. Descriptions of colors

• Blink Bling- Light silver color with a twist- highlight is gold. High shimmer bling!
• Silver Fog- Light silver with a hint of brown making it quite wearable by all
• Ice C- Deep Gray with golden brown aspect. A rather icy brown.
• Black Sparks- Deepest Gray with silver sparkle.
• Enigma- Sometimes this looks almost black, in some light it looks to have green highlight, sometimes there's a glimpse of purple.
• Crazy- a brownish purple with a slightly lower sparkle, with green highlights popping up in the light
• Poy-ple- regal bright purple. Purple overall color with a slightly redder sheen
• Iced Sugar Plums- Deeper, redder color than Poy-ple with a slightly golden sheen- excellent pop of color as liner without being too much.
• Golden Grape- somewhat brown purple with golden shimmer
• Purple Moon- A redder lighter purple with softer shimmer than the others.
• Plucky Plum- slightly lighter version of Iced Sugar Plums with added golden shimmer
• Winey- Red Plum- gorgeous color with green eyes.
• Violet Foam- Know how bubbles have a bunch of colors? Well Violet Foam captures this aspect- light red plum color that has a distinct blue/green cast in certain light.
• Confusion- Silvery purple that has green/blue cast in highlight.
  

• Lav It Up- beautiful lavender with almost golden finish.
  

  Black- Purple

A few of these have color change properties also. Browns are so great for every day wear. Also great for the timid to try a bold liner color with. 

• Brash- Golden Brown with a hint of copper to the highlight. Almost a brass tone with a green aspect to the brown yet the coppery sheen.
• Iced Tee- Lots of sparkle in this golden brown. Warmer than Brash and ever so slightly darker. Think of lots of ice cubes and the color of tea.
• Brownstone- Lower sparkle color similar to Iced Tee- for those who don't like too much sparkle.
  
• Brownie Points- Lower sparkle color- golden highlight to this brown with a hint of plum
• Mellowness- Lower sparkle- darker and browner than Brownie Points- great mellow color for everyday use.
• Hazy- Mellowness with a hazy finish that makes it a little lighter looking. Another great everyday color.
• Minx- High shine of golden copper in the highlight- beautiful chocolate brown all over.
• Chocolate Diamonds- Deep rich chocolate with coppery sparks. Great liner!
• Dark Chocolate- Dark chocolate color with high shine golden flecks.
  
• Sable Coat- Deep bronze brown with golden highlight.
• Leaping Lizard- looks brown in the jar but has green highlight when the light catches it just right.
  

  Dark Brown eye shadows
• Taupe-iary- taupe color with a mellow green sheen.
  
• Dragon Scales- Deep brown with green highlight
• Golden Dragon- golden brown color that has acid green highlight. Interesting on it's own because of the intense color change.

LIGHTER BROWNS AND FLESH-TONE SHIMMERS
The lighter flesh-tones are ones I use almost daily to start my eye looks. I love the shimmer of these light colors- even at 40 they are wearable because they are not too much glitter.

• Glowing Embers- A light peach color with golden pink sheen.
  
• Spark Some Interest- Reddish flesh-tone with golden peach shimmer
• Red Planet- Lighter than Spark Some Interest with a pink shimmer that will have you on another planet.
• Lid Gloss- peachy brown with golden sheen. It adds a glossy sheen to eye lid almost like a clear lip gloss.
  
• In The Flesh- slightly rosier color than Lid Gloss- Beautiful sheen.
  
• Rose Gold- Flesh-tone color with distinct golden finish. A staple in my own eye looks
• Showin' Some Skin- (I call this SSS in my shorthand for my makeup diary because I use it so often) My duplicate of BE's Nude Beach. It's a rosy light brown color with lots of sheen.
  
• Vanilla Cream- Similar to SSS but a slightly cooler beige color rather than rosy beige.
• Glossing Over- Golden Brown with coppery sheen
  
• Rustic- Rusty peach color with slightly less sheen. Great crease color for a barely there peachy eye.
  
• Empress' New Clothes- My dupe of BE's Bare Skin- this is a gorgeous pinky brown. I use all over- eyes, lips and cheeks. Love this color. Goes great with SSS too.
• Stunning- Light Reddish brown with coppery sparks.
  
• Bonanza- Light brown with golden sparks.
• Haute Stuff- Slightly lower sheen. Very complex brown. It has both warm red brown yet also drab green gold components. Hard to describe, easy to wear.
• Sterling Violet- brownish violet that has a somewhat tarnished silver aspect to it.

Another angle

REDS, PINKS and MISC COLORS
A few more interesting colors to share.

• Misty Blue- Light blue shimmer with a bit of gray.
• Misty Aqua- slightly lighter and greener than Misty Blue with strong silver sheen.
  
• LWG- Luminous White Gold- my favorite brow highlight color. It's almost white but gives a golden white sheen that is perfect for lifting those brows.
  
• Sunbeam- sunny yellow with a peachy copper sheen. Sunshine in a little jar.
  
• Nearly Naked- barely there sheen and peach color. If you don't like sheer, you won't like this one.
  
• Atmospheric- this one is not done justice in the color charts- a peachy color that has a cool pink sheen. Similar to BE au natural
  
• Pop O Pink- bubblegum pink color with a little less shine than most of the shimmers.
  
• Pick Me Up Pink- I gave this one a golden sheen so I could wear it. Looks amazing paired with browns.
• Red Blooded- ruby red with brighter red sheen.
  
• Mahogany- Deep reddish brown with redder sheen.
• Miss Gigi- inspired by and named after a little red brown Dachshund- Miss Gigi quickly became a favorite crease/outer V color. The red in this one brings out green eyes- so it may need a warning label on it.
