Continue scrolling down to see more pics of each individual shade.
The boxes are color coordinated to match the jar and the product inside.
The back shows the included applicator and the product.
The top of the boxes list the shade names.
They come in round jars, that are color coordinated -- which I love! It makes it so easy to find the shade I want within my drawers.
The names are listed on the bottom of the jars.
When you open them, you'll see a mesh netting circle. I like this style of product dispenser because it keeps the mess to a minimum and easily distributes the color. The mesh netting does stretch all the way to the bottom of the jar, in case you were wondering how to get the last bits of product out.
Here are several swatch pics, showed at various angles.
Shades are as follows: TOP ROW: Velvet, Satin, Cashmere - BOTTOM ROW: Silk, Suede, Caviar
And here are all six swatches on paper....
Each jar also comes with a mini applicator that has a silicone tip. The silicone tip is a good choice when it comes to apply this type of product - but honestly, I just use my finger.
It has a pointed top - similar in shape to the traditional sponge-tip applicators we've all come to know. This silicone version is a much easier-to-clean version.
Now let's talk about each individual shade...

PUR Minerals Eye Polish
Shade: Velvet
This shade is described as a plush amethyst.
This shade, to me, is a wine-stained amethyst berry.... yeah, I'm not the best at describing shades. It's a very gorgeous fall and winter shade. Not my typical shade choice, but I've been stepping far out of my comfort zone lately with eyeshadow looks. I can find a way to make almost any color work, and this one is an easy one to get a pretty look out of.

PUR Minerals Eye Polish
Shade: Satin
This shade is described as a sheer crystal pink.
I really wanted to love this one, because like icy pinks like this one can be really pretty when paired with some brown tones.... but my jar was a bit dried out and made it difficult to work with. Hard to get enough product out and it didn't apply as smoothly.

PUR Minerals Eye Polish
Shade: Cashmere
This shade is described as a shimmery champagne.
Even more so than the previous shade, Satin, this one was also dried out and difficult to get a good swatch. Because of that, I just didn't use this one on my eyes. A champagne shade is a go-to for me, so I was a bit sad I couldn't rock this one on my eyes the way I wanted to, but don't let my two jars be a reason to not get these two shades... they are very pretty shades.
For whatever reason, my camera was not cooperating with me when it came to getting a good swatch pic of this shade. But in person it's very pretty and more shiny.

PUR Minerals Eye Polish
Shade: Silk
This shade is described as a prism copper.
Now this shade is my absolute FAVORITE!! I used this shade first, and was in LOVE with it after my first use. I made an Instagram post showing the shade Silk all over my lid and the only other shade on my eyes was a burnt orange shade from the Kat Von D Monarch Eyeshadow Palette.
It's a gorgeous warm toned copper... an orange-peachy shade that I am obsessed with. This one also had the best metallic shine out of them all.

PUR Minerals Eye Polish
Shade: Suede
This shade is described as an earthy seductive neutral.
I typically love chocolately brown shades, but for some reason this one wasn't a winner for me. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty shade but I just didn't find myself reaching for it all that much.
On my complexion, I feel it takes on a more green undertone to the brown and it just doesn't do much for my eye color. If you had blue or green eyes, I think you'd appreciate this one a whole lot more.

PUR Minerals Eye Polish
Shade: Caviar
This shade is described as a lavish black with gold karat flecks.
This little beauty is wonderful. It looks more brown in these pics - especially the pic right below this, but in person this is not a brown shade - its' a black with gold. And it's gorgeous!
It's a bit intense for an all-over lid shade.. but if you want a dark, dramatic smokey eye, this shade will get you there fast. The gold flecks are so, so, so pretty. I have used this as an eyeliner and just on the outer corner of the lid and have loved the results.

When used alone you get exactly what you see in the swatches below. It does have a slight metallic finish to it, but I find it to be more of a high sheen than metallic.

FINAL THOUGHTS...
If you like metallic eyes, and cream/liquid shadows, then the PUR Minerals Eye Polishes are a must-try product! They're a time saver, since you don't need a primer underneath. Plus, you can use them as a primer/shadow base too - so you get dual use from these.
One thing I want to point out is these are a liquid and I needed to shake these a bit to get the product even.... what I mean by that is the first time I used the shade Silk there was a lot of silver glitter in the formula --- which I actually LOVED because I am a glitter-aholic. I had a ton of sparkle to my eyes and was love struck! As I shook it up and used it again, there wasn't that obvious glitter to it and instead it was the true metallic formula it was meant to be. So if you're finding that there is too much glitter when you use it, just shake it up.
They are on the pricey side, but everyone views value differently -- especially when it comes to makeup. Some may never want to pay the $26 price tag, and others see the value in a versatile product. Also, if it's a shade you love then price doesn't matter.
What I love about these most is how budge-proof they are. They really do stay put and won't fade or crease as the day goes on.
The shade Silk is my favorite and the one I'd recommend most out of them all.
