Blackened teal shimmer with a not-quite-metallic finish, and…perhaps a little less color payoff than I'd love to see. I would have liked to see a bit more of the navy-teal - more of the blackening would have limited the ways that this color could be used, since it wouldn't...

A medium olive green that turns to blue at the edges of a curve. Not the most exciting duochrome polish color combination I've seen…but nice to see a base color that isn't red, blue, or purple. (I have two more from Polish Me Silly that have green as the...

Three eyeshadows - or two eyeshadows, one eyeliner shadow - in a kit from QVC. I can’t find any release data, but these colors were all available for individual purchase when I started buying BE in 2007, so I’m going to ballpark it in the 2005-2008 timeframe. (I could...

Excellent basic-performance colors for a fairly wide range of skin tones and depths: a soft black and a pinkish buff shimmer for the eyes, a translucent pink glow for face and cheeks, and a semi-opaque mauve lip. They’re not all neutrals, and - thank goodness - they’re not...

The undertones in this color could be viewed as a cool brown…but I'm seeing faint purple tones in there. It's an interesting color! Most of the gold is in the shimmer/sparkle finish, and that can be buffed away to show just the base shade - which I personally...

I thought this color might be a bit cooler than it turned out to be. It's still an interesting shade, and there's just enough orange to complement my blue eyes better than a blue-red would. The sparkle isn't too dense, and can be buffed away if you just want the...

BareMinerals’ Buxom Ava

This is the “creme” version of Angela. I didn't mean to post them on the same day…that's just how the posting order worked out! It is a little more pigmented than Angela, and the shimmer that's visible in these macro shots really isn't highly visible when it's applied.

This shade is described as “frostbitten rose”...I can see that. This shade is similar to Ava. Angela has a much more pronounced shimmer. It isn't the “diamond” buxom sparkle, but it's definitely visible.

I got this color just as it was being phased out. It wasn't available for sale, but if you registered for an account with the site and put some items into your cart, you might be allowed to select it as a “free gift” - which I very happily did....
