Make Up For Ever’s Star Powder 940

Oh wow, why didn’t I get this sooner…Bare Escentuals’ Gigi

...that may just have to become it's own category. Or keyword. When my BE order arrived with Sweet Obsessions, I also received Gigi. I had finally decided - what the heck, order it (and I needed to be pushed above $50 for the free shipping anyway.) It was an outer-sealed, sifterless...

BareMinerals’ Sweet Obsessions kit

I ordered these on BE’s Holiday 2009 preview night. They took a while to reach me - folks on forums were gleeful about receiving their packages while I had to wait an additional week - but they finally got here. Nine colors, seven of them new, all of them in â€...

Aromaleigh v1’s Les Papillons collection

20 colors inspired by the colors of butterly wings. All have multicolored sparkle and shimmer.

BareMinerals’ Buxom Babes Winter Escapade kit

BareMinerals’ buxom Joy

This is the only yellow buxom I've seen - leaving the buxom lip tint out of it for a minute. I like the fact that it's golden, so it's not a full-on warm; the sparkles, so that it's not just golden; and the magic-factor. What magic-factor, you ask? Why, this...

BareMinerals’ buxom Merry

BareMinerals’ buxom Holly

This color is a rich, bright, sparkling red: the red of natural poinsettas and of brighter holly berries. It's a sheer color, which means that if you want the red coloration, you're going to have to apply a whole lot to get the color payoff you want…or just apply...
