BareMinerals’ Purist II Grand kit

The second iteration of the Purist Grand kit, available through QVC in 2009. I wasn’t as thrilled with the palette of this kit - the colors work together, but they’re kind of plain for my personal tastes. (Get a slate blue in there, or a midtoned heathered lilac, and the eyeshadow look just looks…completed.) These shades all look better on neutral to cool-toned people. Folks with golden or olive undertones in their skin may have more difficulty wearing these colors together. Exhilarate is a raspberry blush, but it’s very very sheer. It’s not easy to overapply this one - so don’t let the shade concern you, if you see it for sale on Ebay.
