BareMinerals’ Free to Be Naturally Adventurous kit

When these three kits (Naturally Classic, Naturally Adventurous, and Naturally Elegant) were first announced, I remember the initial glee at the news of new and hard-to-find colors…and then the disappointment when the face and eye colors turned out to be minis (.28 grams for the eye colors, .57 grams for the blush). Granted, at $32, the kits weren’t exactly a bad value…but more of those rotted makeup bags!!

BareMinerals’ Free to Be Naturally Adventurous kit

This kit contained:

  • Cleopatra "Cleo" — dark hazlenut sheen
  • Dare — deep aqua teal shimmer
  • Exquisite — soft gold sheen
  • Morning blush — pale peach sheen
  • Sugar Cookie lip gloss — pink peach gloss
  • bright teal-blue makeup bag

This kit was available the longest, and eventually was sold through the BE webstore at $14.50 per kit - about half the original retail price. I think the reason this kit didn't sell as quickly or as well as the other two, despite Cleo's status as a "hard to find" collector's-item color, was the bright blue Dare and the rather uninspiring Exquisite.
