BareMinerals’ Be Real kit

BareMinerals’ Be Real kit
  • Manufacturer: bareMinerals/Bare Escentuals
  • Availability: beginning August 2007 through the webstore
  • Contains: three eyecolors, one blush, and one lip gloss
  • Cost/Amount: USD$34
  • Would you purchase again: yes

This kit was almost an exact duplicate of an earlier eye-and-cheek kit, First Class. The differences were the size of the colors (eye colors were all .01 oz and the blush was .57 grams in this kit) and the inclusion of an eyeliner and a lip gloss. This kit could be seen as more inclusive, in that it had eye/lip/cheek and eyeliner. However, this was not precisely a winningish color combination when it was first released as an eye-and-cheek kit back in the day, and it didn’t get a whole lot better. Real Deal and Exquisite are just too light-coverage to have both of them in a kit and get a decent look.

Beauty Tip

Put your mascara in your pocket for 10 minutes before applying...especially in cold weather! It warms the mascara and lets it apply more easily.
