What samples have you loved enough to get full sizes?
I was inspired by the "what have you hit pan on"-discussion in Cosmetics Discussion to start this thread.

I know many of those of us who use mineral products buy a ton of samples and often end up moving on to the next thing instead of getting a full size of a color when the sample runs out.

So I am curious: What mineral makeup samples have you loved enough to buy a full size?

For me it was Canna blush from Meow's Rainforest collection. It is just such a beautiful color and since it was a limited run I felt that I would regret not getting it.

From TKB Trading:

Hot Mama -- the most expensive color on the site, they only offer it in 3 sizes. I picked the "middle size": $14 for 1 ounce. This is more than enough to last me for ages, and I absolutely LOVE IT!

Indian Blue -- holy. freaking. CRAP. Words cannot describe how gorgeous this color is! It's a cyan blue with a golden or green sheen, depending on how the light hits it. Definitely my favorite blue pigment, and I ALWAYS get compliments when I wear it as a liner!

Black Mica -- great for making your own eyeshadows or for use as a liner. I mix a VERY small bit of lotion with about double the amount of this mica to make a great cream eyeliner.

From Ben Nye:

Jade -- absolutely gorgeous color, one of my must-haves! I actually ran through a 1/4 tsp sample in less than 2 months. :X

Persimmon -- a dark, bold, blendable red. Probably my favorite red pigment.
