A look with some Bare Minerals holiday colours I already have

I was looking at all the holiday kits last night and it inspired me to do a look with some of the colours in the new kits that I already have. I really miss using all my shadows!

 

 

EYES: Steam lash to brow,
Gem lash into crease on outer 1/2,
Mistletoe center of lid,
Lagoon wet lined on top, Gem dry lined on bottom,
Lash Domination mascara.

LIPS: Moxie in Dare Devil 

 

 

Blue Green Dream

Here's a little blue green look.

EYES:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance,
50/50 mix well rested/clear radiance all over,
Refresh lash to brow and foiled lash to crease,
Mistletoe lash to crease on middle 1/3ish,
Blue dream lash into crease on outer 1/3ish,
Hallucinate in V and wet lined on top and bottom,
Flawless definition Volumizing Mascara in Blue Black.


CHEEKS: Rosy Outlook Blush
LIPS: Tarte Charmed

Teal

So I made the mistake of blending out the Saint Bernard with Siren which is a very light blue green but when blended with the saint bernard looks kind of dark. But if I hadn't made that mistake I think this would have been pretty. Putting Lagoon with teals and green really brings out the green undertones.

EYES:

Primetime for eyes,
50/50 mix well rested/clear radaince all over,
Siren under brow,
Buxom Stay There Saint Bernard lash into and above crease on outer 2/3ish,
Siren and Snow to blend out edges of Saint bernard,
Mistletoe lash to crease on inner 1/2ish,
Lagoon in crease and outer corner and then wet lined on top and bottom,
Falsies mascara.


CHEEKS: Desert Rose blush
LIPS: Tarte Pouty

 

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.
