Bare Escentuals Chroma Violet

Hi Beauties,
  Today I wore the new soon to be released Primer Shadow in Chroma Violet. I absolutely LOVE this color. These primer shadows take the place of primer & eyeshadow all in one step. Its eyeshadow made easy ;)
 I first applied original primer from crease to brow. Once that dried I applied Chroma Violet over the entire lid with my ring finger. Then I applied Water Lily from crease to brow with a Contour Shadow Brush. To highlight the brow bone I used Bikini Beach, applying it with a Heavenly Liner Brush. I used a Soft Focus Shadow Brush to buff Flicker in the crease. And for liner, I mixed Eclipse with Weather Everything & applied it with a Full Edge Liner Brush.





I am so in love with this look. It took like 4 minutes to put this together. I think it took longer to apply mascara! hahaha
 Hope you enjoy this!
 Love & Sparkles,

Bare Escentuals Primer Shadows with Swatches

Hi Beauties,
 I was very lucky to get these early from a very dear friend. Like the previous primers Brightening & Brightening Pearl, these are primers with a kick! There are a total of 8 new primers. One, Brightening Opal will be in an exclusive Ulta kit called Bright & Beautiful the other, Brightening Sunlight, will be available exclusively to BE Boutiques & BE online later this week in a kit called Love & Happiness. Brightening Opal is a sheer glimmery pink, Brightening Sunlight is a golden pink shimmer.
 The new line of primers called bareMinerals Prime Time Primer Shadows are color, heavy pigmented shadows. They are extremely long lasting. You can wear them alone or apply shadow over them to give your eyeshadows a boost. Racing Green is like the primer version of OZ mixed with Spright, a beautiful rich emerald green. Urban Nature is taupe/grey base with a purple sheen. Sundance is a golden orange base with golden shimmer. Chroma Violet is beautiful violet base with a sheen of iridescent pink & diamond twinkles.Bronzed Twig is a deep brown with gold shimmer.  Gunmetal is a gorgeous metallic grey with silver glimmer.
 These color shadows are extremely long lasting. I've worn them all and their stay power is amazing. I even slept in my makeup one night & my eyeshadow still looked amazing the following day! This made me super happy cause I have oily lids so for eyeshadow to last 24hrs, its got to be good! I totally recommend these especially now for the summer. Its the perfect eye makeup in seconds! Also perfect for those days where you're running late or just want a quick look. I love all the colors but Brightening Opal, Urban Nature, Gunmetal & Chroma Violet are my absolute favorites! I think everyone needs at least 2 of these in their makeup case.



These Primers are the same size as the current ones in Bare Escentuals Boutiques & at stores .1 Fl oz/ 3g except for Brightening Opal which is half the size, .05Fl oz/ 1.5g. These should hit shelves sometime early July. Please note that only Primer Shadows will be released this day. Brightening Opal & Brightening Sunlight are eyeshadow primers that are currently available only as part of the kits I listed above.
 Hope you enjoy this review! Let me know how you feel about these, comment below!

Peace & Sparkles,
