BareMinerals’ Refresh

This color is kind of sad. When you look at it in the pot, it looks like it might try and do something interesting. There's potential. Potential!! But then you try to apply it. Put it straight on the lid, and it vanishes. Put it dry over primer, and you get a yellowish green that tries, it really earnestly tries. Put it on wet, and you get a lighter, shinier version of the dry application. It's a pot of wasted potential.

The color actually reminded me strongly of Everyday Minerals' Leaps and Bounds. It looks interesting, but it's got no follow-through. Absolutely none.
