BareMinerals’ Beauty Oasis kit

Bare Escentuals has a spotty history with its kits: they’re not always wearable right out of the box. Beauty Oasis actually was (at least for me.) It included Neptune Eye Quickie, which I haven’t seen available through any other BE retail channels. This kit didn’t include a brush or a handbag, which may have accounted for the slightly lower-than-standard-kit price.

BareMinerals’ Beauty Oasis kit

Oasis is the least-wearable color in this kit, for me. It's a very bright yellow-green. I can wear this color very sparingly. I love Neptune, though; and before I discovered Coastal Scents' Blue Sparks Interfine Mica Powder, Neptune got a LOT of use in many different looks. Jade is also extremely lovely. I've worn it as a color in its own right. I even went out and found additional pots of Neptune and Jade, since they're so gorgeous and since they're not available as individuals.

This kit contained:

  • Neptune eye quickie — light blue pearl interference
  • Oasis eye shadow — yellow-green sparkle
  • Jade eye liner — blue-emerald shimmer
