Bare Escentuals has a brand new Face Fashion kit called Pretty Wild. I recently received it and the name is right – it is pretty and is pretty wild.
It is a 5 piece makeup set with a really great price tag of $31.50. I feel it is a very good value and you get a lot of Bare Minerals makeup for your money.
The kit includes:
Floret Blush (pink bloom shimmer)
Flawless Definition Mascara in Blue black
Vivacious Pretty Amazing Lipcolor(wild rose)
Violetta Eyecolor (faded lilac)
Greenhouse Eyecolor (earthy green)
These are small sizes of everything – the blush is in a regular eye color size container and the eye colors are smaller. The lip color and mascara are also smaller than regular, full size. I have absolutely no problem with that – in fact, I wish there were more kits available in smaller sizes.
The box is really pretty and very well done. THere is an inside flap that you see when you open it and then you flip that page to reveal the contents of the kit.
The plastic insert lifts out, leaving you a pretty makeup storage box.
Bare Escentuals says that these are the hottest makeup trends and colors right now. They are right on trend as far as I am concerned. The eye colors are not ones that I would ordinarily select for myself, which is what makes it so much fun. It is really nice to take a break from the “same old, same old”.
Here are the products applied to my inner arm. The first item is the blue/black mascara. On my arm, it looks very blue. On my eyelashes it looks mostly black, but I quite like the color.
I’m not too sure about the Violetta Eyecolor for me. It is really light – lighter than I normally wear – but I love anything in the purple family, so I’m willing to give it a go. I’ll be playing around with this one to see what I can do with it.
The Greenhouse Eyecolor was the biggest surprise to me. I don’t think I own a green eye color and it is possible that I have never owned one. But I love it, I mean I really love it and looks great with my brown eyes. In the picture, the top swatch is of it dry, the second is mixed with Prime Time Eye Primer and used as an eyeliner. I think I like it as an eyeliner even better than an eye shadow – but I love it both ways.
The Floret Blush is gorgeous – a beautiful clear pink and it could be possible that I already have enough pink blushes, but never mind – it is really nice and I know I will wear it. Plus with the smaller size, it will be wonderful for travel.
The lip color looks darker on my arm than it does on my lips. It is really a great mauve-y almost neutral color that could be worn all the time. I like it much better than the other Amazing Lipcolors I have tried.
All in all, I think this is a great value for the money and a very pretty look. I have medium skin with cool undertones. I do think these colors would be better on cool or neutral skin tones than on warms. I also think it would be absolutely amazing on anyone with blue or hazel eyes and cool undertones.
