BareMinerals’ Unbelievable Grand kit

I purchased the colors off of Ebay - because I have a huge backlog of BE brushes, I don’t use the foundation or mineral veil or lip glosses, and…yeah, well, I’ve never been a big fan of the various makeup totes. Even for the ones that were good quality or interesting-looking, they were far too small to hold more than enough makeup for a short trip.

The colors themselves are good. Peach Surprise is the softest and least pigmented shade, but the finish is halfway between pearl and full-on shimmer, so it’s great for subtle highlighting (especially with my skintone.)

BareMinerals’ Unbelievable Grand kit

Chocolate Suede is a matte that applies well without looking or feeling chalky - though it still doesn't foil all that well - and Golden Sunset has good color payoff and a nice finish without being too over-the-top for the trio.

This kit contained:

  • Chocolate Suede — soft medium-light brown matte
  • Golden Sunset — blushing gold satin
  • Peach Surprise — soft rose-peach pearl
  • Pink Petal blush — sheer poppy pink sheen
  • Faux Tan Matte — sheer warm bronze
  • 100% Natural LipGloss in Cheesecake
  • foundation, presumably in your choice of shade
  • mineral veil
  • Double-ended blend and line brush
  • Flawless application face brush
