A few months ago, I placed an order for Concrete Minerals' YouTube Guru and Blogger Love Mineral Eyeshadow Sample Set. For $4.99 + $1.99 shipping, I received four colors of my choice, about 1/4 tsp. of each in 5-gram sample jars.

Croma is a velvety light lavender with a hint of pale aqua sparkles.
Temptress is a dark blue-green shade with lots of gold sparkles.
Unity is a vivid royal purple with gold iridescent shimmers.
Zealous is a bright shimmery turquoise blue color with a faint metallic sheen.
These eyeshadows are amazing from swatch to application. They are well pigmented. They apply so smoothly and blend easily with minimal fallout. I tried wearing these without a primer or base, and I experienced no creasing.
Full-size eyeshadows are sold in 10-gram jars for $5.99 each, which is a great value! You can also buy 4 samples (1/4 tsp. in 5-gram jars) for $9.99.
Since this was my 1st and only order so far, I'm not sure how long shipping usually takes, but this one took about 2 weeks to arrive. I believe it was because they were waiting for a fresh batch of Zealous.
Would I buy from Concrete Minerals again? Yes! I will definitely buy from them again. I want to pick up a few more samples and full sizes of Temptress and Unity (and maybe Zealous too).
Have you tried Concrete Minerals yet? What did you think?
