Deeper, cool rose creme - not necessarily 100% unique, but attractive all the same. The formula on this one was a little thicker than I’m used to, from Vinylux polishes. There was also some bubbling. I’ve only done one manicure with this polish thus far, so I’m not...
If you love green eyeshadows…you need this mica. Yep, it's straight mica with no binders. But…look at that color! For this, I have no problems going to the extra effort to use a sticky base and a sealant. This color did leave behind a little green when I...
I have four of the five colors in this collection…and I think I’m good with that. The few swatches I’ve seen of Homemade Death, the eyeshadow is attractive, but too similar to other purples that I have, even with the hints of blue-interference.
All of these colors were available in previous BE kits, or were part of the regular line for a while…but, if you were just getting started with BareMinerals and wanted a good basic set of neutrals, this was a fairly good way to get them. Nude Beach has been...
A midweight taupe with a slight blue cast. Reminds me strongly of a satin-finish version of Fyrinnae's Work-Safe Blue (formerly known as Damn Paladins.)
Almost a faded-brick shade, with a bit more red to it. I like this one as a regular-use shadow. It's pigmented enough to fairly easily use as an eyeliner, it just doesn't give me the definition I prefer in eyeliners.
This is one of those kits for which I have no release date, no cost info…just what was in it, and a fairly good guess that it debuted on QVC. I don’t even know if this ever made it to other BE channel partners. (Does anyone know release...
The first “volume” of four blush kits. A nice-enough kit for an “intro to blushes”, or a good way to get several BE blushes in the smaller size. These were all in .02 ounce jars (same size as the “full size” BE eyeshadows) so while it was a good way to...
Just what it says on the…well…side of the pencil. Straight black, very solid, no shimmer or frost or pearl of any kind. Just. Matte black. The upside? Solid matte black in drugstore-pencil pricing (and it's part of the regular line, which means no need to frantically rush to...
