Bare Escentuals bareMinerals The Surprise Set

Bare Escentuals bareMinerals The Surprise Set 1

I Tivo’ed all the latest Bare Escentual programs on QVC about a week ago?  I believe it was a week ago.  Anyway, I expected that these would have some serious festive Holiday stuff going on as everyone seems to be decking the halls way early this year.

But no dice.

The show had  few odd pieces that might be considered holiday-like but for the most part it was standard bits and bobs.  Now Nordie’s has a new Bare Escentuals bareMinerals The Surprise Set which definitely can fall right into the Holiday theme of things but….snore….I’mma no likey it.   If this is what BE has in store for this season in regards to gift sets I may be saving a whole heck of alot of money

I’ll bide my time though and wait.

Bare Escentuals bareMinerals The Surprise Set is $54 and housed in a gorgeous faux book style packaging. It looks very elegant but the colors included are a bit blah for me.

You’ll get:

  • Bare Minerals Intrigue Blush
  • Bare Minerals Spellbound Eye Color
  • Bare Minerals Surreal Eye Color
  • Bare Minerals Suspense Liner Shadow
  • Bare Minerals Secret Radiance Natural Lip Gloss in Brilliance (Angelfood Cake Flavored)
  • Bare Minerals Tapered Crease Defining Brush, Line Diffuser Brush, and Cheek Brush

For me this one is a miss but many BE fans will probably adore it.

What do you think?

Loves it?

Leaves it?

What are some of your fav sets from BE?

Tell the Muse!

Available now at Nordstrom.

Stila Holiday 2009 Stila Smudge Pot Collection Review and Swatches

Yes, yes it’s early but Stila graces us with it’s Holiday Collection already.   Gotta  enjoy sharing the love of cool Holiday makeup two months before Christmas.

This year the Stila Holiday Collection 2009 graces us with a few gift sets.  As of yet I haven’t seen palettes but I’m not losing hope yet as Stila has a way of creeping up on us.  Plus we do have to give them some breathing room since they are rebuilding.

The good news is the gift sets are inexpensive as sin.  It’s alot of product packed into one place with a small price and even a To and From field if you’re giving instead of getting for yourself.

Jump ahead to enjoy swatches and a review of the Stila Smudge Collection.

Urban Decay Smoke Out Kit Sweet Lucy Review and Swatches

The Muse is a little obsessed with boxes, draws, and little storage units to tuck makeup in. She blames it on her pack rat behavior and OCD nature. Of course this has to be the reason why the new Urban Decay Smoke Out Kits totally chuff her silly. It’s all about little draws, nooks, and crannies where eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner, and a little tutorial hangs out.
