Bare Minerals Lip Spectacular Review & Swatches

Bare Minerals Lip Spectacular

The Bare Minerals Lip Spectacular Mini Marvelous Moxie Buttercream Lipgloss Collection ($26) is available for a limited time with the Bare Minerals Holiday 2014 Collection. Seriously, if you get one lipgloss collection this Holiday season make sure it’s this one because I think it’s fabulous!

I’m a Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss fan but I haven’t yet tried the new Moxie Buttercream Lipgloss formula that launched a few months ago. The Bare Minerals Lip Spectacular Gift Set is a nice way to test this formula out in a variety of shades.

The Buttercream Lipgloss formula is actually exclusive to Ulta so this could be one reason I haven’t yet tried these out (I’m more often than not seen shopping at Sephora and Nordstrom).

If you felt like Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss was too sticky or tacky or perhaps you’re sensitive and the tingly cinnamon flavor and fragrance wasn’t to your liking. In that case, you will simply adore the Marvelous Moxie Buttercream Lipgloss formula. This is a super creamy lipgloss that’s plush, soft, and hydrating without being sticky, tacky, or tingly. It’s very rich, very cream, and provides sheer to medium color pay off. The formula has a lovely moisturizing feel on my lips as it should consider the formula is loaded with shea, murumuru butters, and avocado. It has a very light play-doh vanilla taste and flavor that I found pleasant.

The wear time is considerably shorter here though as there isn’t a lot of stickiness to allow the gloss to adhere to lips so you’re looking at about two hours of wear, some shades you might get three. I don’t mind in the least though because the texture is beautiful and wears comfortably on my drier lips without migrating, feathering, or fading through that time period.

If you didn’t get on with the tingly Marvelous Moxie formula you’re bound to love the Marvelous Moxie Butter Cream formula! Love, love, love it! And the Bare Minerals Lip Spectacular Set gets you six gorgeous shades of it!

Available now at Ulta and Ulta.com.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

        Girlfriend I feel you I just tried out all the colors in my UD full frontal set and Too Faced under the mistletoe set and my lips are chapped and on fire! So thank you for putting yourself through that for our benefit. The forbidden nude seems very pink for a nude I assume your lips are naturally brighter pink ( or sore like mine =) or is that actually how it comes off?

        • Isabella Muse

          haha it’s the worst right? try it on, wipe it off, try it on, wipe it off, after a while your lips feel like they aren’t there anymore 😀 my natural lip color is making it deeper than it is Amber 🙂

    Lovely!! Do you plan on doing a post on your all-time favorite beauty products? Would love to reference your list to make my holiday list 🙂 Thanks!

    I picked these up last week. I really like the formula, it is some how less harsh on my winter lips, and the fake butter cream flavor is super yum. I like the tube size too. Plenty of uses!

    I’m a little late but I wanted to say THANK YOU for this review, I only got one lip set this year before this and it was the Tarte one, I wasn’t even looking at this but your review convinced me to get this and I just love it. Amazing color selection and I do like the texture, it reminds me of my favorite gloss which is NYX butter gloss and of course these smell good, too. Great value!

    • Isabella Muse

      yay I’m so glad you like them jessica! they were great and happy someone thought the same 😀
