Bare Minerals Pure Luxuries Kit

2009-11-01T01:52:27Z

Wow – I love all of these Bare Mineral Holiday kits that are starting to surface. Check out this sephora Exclusive – Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Pure Luxuries Collection ($175 Value) bareMinerals Pure Luxuries Collection.

This is a great kit for those of us who prefer brighter jewelt tones to earth tones. It would make an awesome kit to buy for yourself (if not a life time supply, a multi-year supply) and would be the ultimate gift for mineral makeup lovers – especially those who are newer to minerals & haven’t built up the gynormus collection that most of us have – or maybe someone who loves minerals and makeup but is on a limited budget – what an indulgent treat for them!

The kit contains:
Tropics Eyecolor
Charleston Eyecolor
Panther Eyecolor
Hugs Eyecolor
Emotion Eyecolor
No Eye-Deer Eyecolor
The 70s Eyecolor
Nice Pear Eyecolor
Bikini Eyecolor
Turquoise Sea Liner Shadow
Naughty, Naughty Blush
Hot Shot Blush
Pure Radiance All-Over Face Color
Pure Charm Blush
Blushing Beauty All-Over Face Color
Faux Lizard Train Case – looks like the Glamourista case to me

Bare Minerals Bare Treasures Eye Color Holiday Collection

2009-10-28T14:47:18Z

I was looking around on QVC and found this gorgeous bareMinerals Bare Treasures 20-piece Eye Color Collection. It contains 20 eye colors. Each of them is 0.01 oz, which is half the size of a regular sized eye shadow – but still a great value and a life time supply of many of the colors – especially the liner shadows. The colors included are:
Peacock, a golden peridot shade
Loyalty, a rosewood shade
Night Owl, a steel amethyst shade
Vanity, a bronzed plum shade
Hummingbird, a bashful pink shade
Twilight, a deep midnight periwinkle shade
Fog, a storm sky shade
Starlet Casey, a burnished gold shade
Phoebe, a soft lilac shade
Key Lime, a spearmint green shade
Playful, a frosted gold shade
Sass, a yellow shade
Honey Amber, a light golden honey shade
Jam, a violet shade
Salsa, a hibiscus pink shade
Ecstasy, an opal shade
Mystic, a mauve lavender shade
Clarity, a snow blue shade
Soho, a charcoal gray shade
Fashionista, a chocolate raisin shade

I predict this won’t last very long – if you’re interested you can check it out here – bareMinerals Bare Treasures 20-piece Eye Color Collection

Mineral Makeup Saver

2009-10-10T19:57:58Z

Mineral Makeup Lovers Rejoice!! A fellow Mineral Makeup Lover has created a solution to the #1 complaint about minerals! The complaint? It’s TOO MESSY (especially when traveling). The solution? The Mineral Saver, which is an insert for your jars. It is made of foam with a plastic shield on the bottom.

Recently I was contacted by Christine Richardson about her new invention. Christine is a retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel. While she was active duty she loved her minerals but hated traveling with them. She came up with a solution and is now offering it for all mineral lovers to enjoy.

Christine asked if she could send a sample of her product for me to review. When the package arrived I opened it and it contained a jar of Bare Minerals Foundation. I was kinda surprised… But when I opened the jar, there was a Mineral Saver inside and much to my amazement, there was not one speck of foundation above the sifter! Can you imagine if you sent a jar without the saver how much foundation would be above the sifter? So I decided to have a little fun. I closed the jar and shook it over and over, still no foundation above the sifter. I played toss with it with my husband – nope no spills. I was blown away. I need these!

I also realized that in addition to being incredible when you travel, these will also allow minerals to be carried in your purse to be used for touch ups without all of the fancy containers or brushes. Just pop in a mineral saver and you are good to go.

These are available in 7 different sizes for all different brands. I was also very impressed by the pricing – they are sold by a 4-pack and the price varies based on the size, but the biggest, most expensive ones are less than $2 each. These will save much more makeup than that.

If you’d like to learn more, check them out at The Original Mineral Saver. Leave me a comment below to let me know how you like them!

The Happiness Collection – New Sephora Exclusive Bare Minerals Kit –

2009-10-05T19:10:49Z

Bare Minerals has a great looking new kit that is exclusive to Sephora. It is called the “Happiness Collection”

It is a nine piece kit featuring products infused with mood-boosting Happybelle, a complex containing a natural plant extract believed to mimic the effect of endorphins and induce a sense of happiness.

Here is what Bare Escentuals says:”Get nine pieces of pure euphoria with this set infused with mood-boosting Happybelle, a complex containing a natural plant extract believed to mimic the effect of endorphins and induce a sense of happiness. It sounds psychedelic, but it’s totally natural, 100% pure bareMinerals. Gives you the glow of pure happiness coming from within your skin for a natural high—think yoga for your face.”

This Happiness Collection includes:
- bareMinerals Glee Radiance All-Over Face Color infused with Happybelle
- bareMinerals Euphoria Eyecolor infused with Happybelle
- bareMinerals Happiness Eyecolor infused with Happybelle
- bareMinerals Hallucinate Liner Shadow infused with Happybelle
- bareMinerals Flawless Definition Mascara in Black

As a “Added Bonus” – Each bare Minerals Happiness Collection carries a ticket that automatically enters you into a Get Lucky Contest where you could win one of three grand prizes of a lifetime supply of bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation*.

Looks like a pretty good deal – even if the Happybelle doesn’t give you an endorphin rush – new makeup always does it for me!

Pressed Mineral Foundation is becoming more and more popular in the beauty scene. Why? There are many reasons for the increased interest in mineral makeup including the fact that there are no synthetic or artificial ingredients. The organic, natural composition makes a persons skin feel fantastic while also deterring wrinkles. Better still pressed mineral makeup isnt loose meaning its less messy and easy for traveling.

New Bare Escentuals Oil Control Foundation Primer

2009-05-19T13:28:38Z

For those of us with oiler and/or acne prone skin, Bare Escentuals has a new Oil Control Primer. The official name is Bare Escentuals Prime Time Oil Control and it is an oil-free, water based primer.

Here is the scoop from Bare Escentuals: “developed for oily, sensitive, or problem-prone skin to instantly smooth the complexion prior to bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation. The oil, fragrance, and silicone–free formula is clinically proven to control shine throughout the day, as well as to regulate oil and refine pores with minerals and natural plant extracts. The lightweight primer glides on seamlessly—leaving the skin matte, refreshed, and ready for foundation.”

Ingredients:
Water (Aqua), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Modified Corn Starch, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Zinc PCA, Sodium Levulinate, Sodium Anisate, Silica, Calcium Silicate, Sclerotium Gum, Citric Acid.

It is currently a Sephora exclusive, where it is getting mixed, but mostly positive reviews. I am looking forward to trying it out, but my initial feeling is that anyone who has worn and can wear a primer with silicone will be disappointed in this one. This formula is for those of us who cannot use the silicone based primers because of breakouts or very oily skin. If you have normal to dry skin or can use the other primers with silicone, stick with them. Otherwise you may want to try this out – it is probably better than nothing if you want ot use a primer.

Bare Minerals Makeup Kits

2009-05-11T18:44:20Z

Bare Minerals Makeup Kits are a fun and economical way to either try Bare Minerals or add to your collection. The kits are always a great value, when compared to buying the items individually. In addition to an assortment of starter kits, there are many different kits offered throughout the year, including QVC Today’s Specials and special and limited edition kits at other retailers. There are also speciality kits with eyeshadows or blush.

Bare Escentuals Bisque

2009-05-05T18:17:14Z

Bare Escentuals Bisque is a very popular multi-tasking product that has many uses. Bisque started out as an eye shadow, but users soon discovered that it made a great concelaer, because it is more opaque than foundation and it is close to skin tone in color. Over the years, Bare Escentuals has added more bisque shades to accomodate many different skin colors. There are currently five different shades of bisque.
