I've had a longtime love affair with Glo Minerals. So, when they launch a new seasonal collection, I'm all over it. The Essence Clutch came with two of their new lip crayons, which are so creamy and hydrating. It also included their new Cream Contour color in Warmth, which gently melts into the skin for a superb glow. I have to say, though, that the stand out for me was the includedElemental Eye Collection.

The Elemental Eye Collection palette is a perfect blend of four warm eye colors and four cool eye colors. They include a matte and shimmery highlight shade, as well as a rich black. With this palette, you can create any look from demure to daring. I was impressed by how rich the shades are considering that they are mineral eye shadows. For me, The Elemental Eye Collection totally beats out the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette. You get more variety of colors than the Naked Basics, and I feel like the Elemental Eye Collection has more colors in the mid-tone range. And, that makes it more versatile for me.

Two other qualities that make this palette shine for me are the sleek packaging and the fact that Glo Minerals is cruelty free. The Elemental Eye Collection has sleek, compact packaging that makes is great, not only for everyday, but for travel as well. You can, also, rest easy knowing that no sweet animals were tested or harmed in the creation of this stunning palette. That sounds like a win to me!
