/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> While I am excited to try it out I will also certainly have to out it into a regular round jar like any other shadow because the little container it came in, while cute, is completely impractical. Also, probably the first sample of 3 months from BA I am genuinely disappointed by.
Yeah. It's super duper tiny. My eye shadow brush can't even fit in it to pick up the product. When I try to pour some out, I always end up over pouring! I also chose the aphrodite powder sample. I'm planning on putting that in a bigger empty mineral pot since I got 2 of those samples (from previous box) so I can pour the eyeshadow powder in that pot instead =Has anyone else received their Locked & Loaded Pigment sample yet? Oh my gosh, I was blown away by how TINY it is! Yes, they tell you right on the website it is 0.03oz and obviously a shadow isn't going to be that huge, but when you're selecting and they have it next to the lip balm they look similar in size, right? No way! My sample is seriously no bigger than the first joint on my pinky finger! And there is no seal, no sifter, so I can see myself either dropping this tiny bottle and spilling all of the product, or completely losing it
That's lame. Can you post a picture?Originally Posted by juraseka /img/forum/go_quote.gif

I have yet to get my November box but one of my picks is the Locked & Loaded. Some indy company actually go by teaspoon rather than actual weight because it's a small amount of product. If your concerns about the product spilling if you have a Sephora go pick up a sifter for $3 or order from TKB (4 forOriginally Posted by juraseka /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Thanks for the advice! I actually AM looking for smaller containers with shifters so I can take my mineral foundation with me without having to carry the huge container it comes in... And of course having one for this shadow! I will look into those links

That's not bad actually. Let's put this into perspective.
The Locked & Loaded is 0.03 oz. Now for comparison two shadows I have - one came from Ipsy and one I bought at Target.
The is 0.035 oz (1 gram) while the E.L.F. is 0.02 oz less than 1 gram but the container is larger. E.L.F. shadow is 0.02 ounce which is about a 1/2 gram (0.056 699 046 25 gram). So the E.L.F. container is less product in a bigger jar.
S.A.L.T.Y. shadow against Glamour Doll Eyes sample baggie (0.5 gram). I'm getting the same amount from my sample as I am from ELF except it's in a baggie instead of a huge jar.
Glamour Doll Eyes' Veteran (full size) in a sifter jar so it has between 1.5 gram to 2 grams (in a 5 gram jar) vs Fyrinnae's Bite Me 3 grams (full size) in a 5 gram jar (no sifter) and on the right is the S.A.L.T.Y. which is 0.035 oz (1 gram). This makes the Fyrinnae the most by triple the SALTY yet it's in the same size container. The one from Beauty Army is 0.03 oz (just slightly less than 1 gram).
So while the Beauty Army jar is tiny once you put it into perspective it's a good size for a sample. It's virtually the same amount as the one from Ipsy and MORE than the ELF FULL SIZE jar. The ELF container is far larger than any of the other jars yet it has the least amount of product.

E.L.F (full size) 0.02 oz 0.5 gram (0.566 990 462 5 gram) S.A.L.T.Y (full size?) 0.035 oz 1 gram (0.992 233 309 38 gram) Fyrinnae (full size) 0.11 oz (0.105 821 885 85 ounce) 3 grams Glamour Doll Eyes (full size) 0.05 oz - 0.07 oz 1.5 - 2 grams Locked + Loaded (sample size) 0.03 oz 0.85 gram (0.850 485 693 75 gram)
Yeah I do agree it seems difficult to use. I need to get some empty jars. How is the color, by the way?
The color seems pretty good. I'm HORRIBLE at taking swtch pictures so hopefully this is ok...
