BareMinerals’ Destination: Key West kit

I bought two of these kits when they were first released on QVC. I wish I had bought three - the fill levels were pathetic, and the kits sold out fast. Once more that summer a small amount were available again. Then the next year - exactly a year, during...

BareMinerals’ Get Started Eyes kit

Yes, this kit is all browns/oranges. However, it’s got some colors that aren’t easily available elsewhere (Soft Focus Explore and Fashionista aren’t available as singles) and the brushes are good. There’s also a tip card to help newbies with application suggestions…though BE’s tip...

BareMinerals’ Get Cheeky kit

I acquired the color pieces of this kit separately, as I’m not a fan of dual-ended face brushes. I love Pure Radiance, as it adds sparkle without any colorchange; but I’m less enamored of the blush. It’s the tiniest bit warm for use as a blush with...

BareMinerals’ Soho Lounge kit

I’ve already mentioned my LOVE for Hot Spot; so getting this kit wasn’t completely outside the realms of possibility - especially once Hot Spot was only available in this kit. The brush is a bit ‘meh’, largely because it’s so very very odd. I haven’t quite...

BareMinerals’ Most Wanted Volume III kit

Third in the “most wanted” series of kits…and the first such release in three years. QVC describing these four as the ‘most popular BareMinerals colors’ is a bit of hyperbole. They are pretty colors, soft enough for even the most cautious makeup wearer and in softened pink and purple...

The SheSpace’s Embrace This Fabulous Face

BareMinerals’ Sun Proof Eyes Kit

The colors on this kit were somewhat neutral-ish; but the big attraction was the natural SPF in each color (which gripes me…but I digress.) The colors were pretty, and were not available individually until summer 2009.

Pure Luxe’s 2009 Cancer Benefit collection

The SheSpace’s Hope Quest II: Embrace Your Natural Beauty kit

Following on the heels of the first Hope Quest quad, Heather releases this second set of colors. The first focussed on reminding people that yes, they matter. The messages with this set remind people of their own inner beauty and strength.

Sometimes I even amaze myself

Just got back from visiting my parents, and while there I created a pretty look…quite by accident. I had taken along Serenity, Miss Defiant, and Take A You Day (along with a few other colors). I applied Benefit's Birthday Suit lash to crease, patted Serenity over that, and then...
