BareMinerals’ Glamourista III kit

I acquired the eye and cheek colors on Ebay, and the lip color too. This entire kit was all purples and brights: from the eyecolors to the bright pink blush to the sheer mauve-purple buxom. Since this was available through autodelivery exclusively, people couldn’t buy it off of QVC. It was also considered one of their “Grand” kits, which meant that it a) included more items; and b) cost nearly $100. Previous installments in this series topped $120, and that’s not including QVC’s legendary high shipping and handling charges. This $99.50 price point was supposedly an introductory price, but it stayed at this rate for most of its availability.

BareMinerals’ Glamourista III kit

Each Grand kit installment came with its own unique traincase...which I had no intention of picking up. (Customers also apparently had lots of problems getting the right foundation shade, so I'm quite happy that I've never gotten on board the QVC auto-delivery bandwagon. It seems like more trouble than it's worth.)

This kit contained:

  • Diva — soft lavender orchid matte
  • Soul Sister — midnight plum sheen
  • Hot Shot — bright fuschia matte
  • Rose Radiance — sheer pink shimmer
  • Dani — sheer berry mauve
  • Prime Time skin primer
  • Foundation in your choice of shades
  • Full Flawless Face brush
  • Double-Ended Shaping brush
