The She Space/About Face cosmetics-
This is by far my favorite company! I own close to 100 different colors of eye piggies (and there are still sooo many I don't own yet!) Pigmentation & staying power is great. I usually use TFSI with any eyeshadow, so I don't have much problem with shadow creasing. The samples are $0.50 and you get A LOT of pigment in there, I actually put mine into 3 gram jars and they are almost full. When I hit bottom on a color, I usually buy a full size, which is a jam packed 3 gram jar for $4.50. Totally worth it! Sales happen about every month. Heather, the owner comes out with collections non-stop, including a monthly astrology collection and Hope No Matter What, which comes with 4 full size shadows & 2 FREE full size shadows to give to any one you want! This collection arose from the suicide of one of Heather's customers, which I'll talk about in another post. The shipping is usually a couple weeks, but very cheap! This is a very small company that is growing in popularity, and I can wait a week or two for products at a great price.
Aromaleigh-
Aromaleigh comes out with new collections monthly and weekly sales. The pigmentation is really good, except some problems with matte Rocks!. I absolutely love Aromaleigh for neutral colors and purples. I have a few bright colors and you really have to pack them on to get color. The samples are anywhere from $0.60-$1 and, in my opinion not worth it. It is barely enough for one application. The full size products are usually on sale, from $4-$7 and ARE worth it. The shipping is super fast and great customer service.
Fyrinnae-
My fyrinnae piggies are my most prized possession! They are NOT mineral, but fall into the color piggy category. A little on the expensive side, the pigmentation is to die for and a little goes a long way. They don't come out with new collections that often, but do come out with a few new colors here and there. The samples are $1.75 in a 3 gram jar that is really full. Full size are $5.25. I've never seen a sale here. They also have "inks" (beautiful liquid liners) that are also available in sample sizes. Oooh, and "lustres", which are kind of a lipstain/gloss/lipstick that are beautiful and last FOREVER! Shipping is 2 weeks-ish (mostly sooner) and customer service has always replied to me within hours.
Everyday Minerals-
This was the first MMU company I started buying from, thanks to my almost-sister-in-law. They are really fairly priced, but don't have the huge amount of piggies to choose from that other companies do. I wear their base in Cool Fair (its really hard to find a base light enough for me, but this is perfect). The samples are $2.50 in a fully packed 5 gram jar. Full size shadows are $6 in a very large (maybe 8 gram?) jar.

I foresee a Walmart rip-off being created as i type...
What do you think? Is this as terrible as I think? I love the shoes though. The "shirt" is what gets me...reminds me of Lizzie McGuire's friend.
