Bare Escentuals Good Morning Gorgeous and High Shine Swatches and a look with Tuesday

I had time to do some swatches so here you go.

Here are swatches of the new high shine colours. I will be getting rose gold and bronze later and I will swatch those when I get them. I think High Shine Meteorite and High Shine Flash are unique but High Shine Ice is very similar to high shine Charisma. High Shine Charisma is a little darker and maybe a little warmer than HS ice. I'm not sure if you can tell that HS Flash is really lavender in the pictures--I think it looks more lavender in person.

Good Morning Gorgeous has some interesting colours in it. Friday is especially unique. I don't even know what colour it is. Sometimes it looks blue, sometimes it looks green and then I thought it looked a little purple when I blended it out on my hand but it is very pretty. I really like Monday it really isn't like any of my other blues. Tuesday is a nice pink that is a shade or two darker than Pink Posey. Wednesday is a more wearable version of Exotic Victoria. Wednesday has a smoky base and sparkle that is similar to Exotic Victoria but because the the darker base and the fact that it is a little more green I think it is easier to use than EV. Thursday is a lighter version of Rebel. They both have the reddish brown base and the bluish irridescent sparkle but rebel is darker. Saturday is very similar in colour to Tiara but it has bigger sparkles. Sunday is not like anything I already have, I thought it might be similar to cocoa but it is much more pink.

Pink for Spring

The other more wearable trend I found in Allure was pink eye shadow with black liner. They have quite a range of looks including one with hot pink and black but I thought I would do the softer pink look because more people can wear it.
This was the inspiration for this look. The look in the magazine was done with the NARS Caravaggio duo. I don't have that one so I just used Bare Escentuals.

Bare Escentuals All Wrapped Up and Sweet Sparklers

October has been a month of newness. I have been slowly working my way through all the new colours and products. I wanted to review All Wrapped Up today, even though I have only done one look with it, because I figure some people are trying to decide what to get during the Sephora F&F sale.

All Wrapped Up
This is a kit of 6 mini shadows. There are two old colours--present and the gift--and four new colours Garland, Mistletoe, Bauble, and Tinsel. All the colours are beautiful but Garland and Mistletoe look excatly like two old colours. Garland looks almost exactly like Heavenly Diamond and Mistletoe looks exactly like envy. I had swatches on my had and asked my DH if they were the same colour and he said yes about both pairs. Bauble is unique, but it is similar to in a jam and devotion. Devotion has a pink sheen-y sparkle and so does bauble. Bauble has a purple base that is not as dark as in a jam. When I was looking at tinsel in the jar I thought it looked like Sapphire but it doesn't. Sapphire is much more purple while Tinsel is a true blue. What they have in common is beutiful multi-coloured sparkle. I think Tinsel would look pretty with purples because of the sparkle. Present is a light pink with a slight sheen it is a great pink. The gift is a light bronze. I will have to play around with that one.

Sweet Sparklers
I love all things mini so Sweet Sparklers is right up my alley. You get two mini lipsticks and two mini 100% natural glosses in this kit. The darker shades are Rose Crepe and Kir Royal and the lighter shades are Sherbet and Pink Prosecco. Rose crepe is a deep rose shade. It has a glossy quality to it that I really love. It is not too dark for daytime and give you a defined lip without being dramatic. Kir Royal is a sheer plum gloss with sparkle, it will look great with lots of lipstick. Sherbet is a very light pink. When I had it on by itself my lips were almost invisible. It is creamy and opaque (Rose Crepe is more sheer). If you want a pink nude lip Sherbet will do the job. Although it is very light I actually like the way it looks but I think it will be too nude for some. The gloss is a pretty pink gloss.
