Bare Escentuals Good As Gold

Hi Beauties!
 Today's topic Good As Gold! It is a 5 piece collection exclusive to QVC. It contains 3 eyeshadows & 2 brushes. The shadow gods finally heard my prayers LOL I had been requesting for Brave to be made in a full size jar & guess what? It's here!!
 Good As Gold is beautiful. The lids are gold mirror lids as well as the handles on the brushes. The 3 eyeshadows are Brave a gorgeous cream glimmer with blue twinkles, Solid Gold a rich khaki gold shimmer and Chocolate Truffle a blackened khaki brown base with gold twinkles. The brushes are a Tapered Shadow Brush & a Soft Focus Liner Brush. This liner brush is different for previous Soft Focus liner brushes. It does not contain the white tips but it is just as soft & just as thin. Everything comes in a cute gold box with an application tip card.
 I love that this kit has a big jar of Brave! Although the other colors are really pretty, how many browns can one girl have?? I hope next year brings more color!! I do recommend this kit, even though its more brown, just cause of Brave ;)


You can only purchase this kit at QVC.com by clicking here. The cost of this kit is $36.

Love & Brave Sparkles,
Jess

Bare Escentuals The Glamorous Life Review & Swatches

Hi Beauties!
 Hope you are all well! I got this beauty in the mail from my beautiful friend & I wanted to share it with you.
 The Glamorous Life is another Holiday collection from BE. It is really pretty! It comes with 2 loose eye shadows. Spotlight is a soft buttercup yellow with tons of gold shimmer. Plush is gorgeous but so difficult to describe.It's a smoke brownish grey green base with twinkles in purple, pink & diamond. When foiled it looks like a smoky purple. Its fantastical!! The liner, 8pm,  is a black brown shade in the waterproof formula. The blush is deep violet rose shade. The Pretty Amazing gloss in Panache is a sheer berry wine. The Mineral Veil is in the Brightening Gold formula which is a golden rose sheen. It brightens the skin for a healthy glow. Very similar to the Brightening Foundation Primer except in mineral form. There is also a Curl & Lengthen Mascara, Contour Shadow Brush & an Angled Blush Brush. They also include a refillable compact! Its the new case that spring loads your minerals to the upper compartment where you can swirl & tap. Its genius! Pushes up the right amount of minerals!! To open the jar, just twist & lift. All the lids & the brush handles are in a gorgeous limited edition berry red.
 I love this collection!! The colors are great & festive, the jars are chic & sexy! What's not to love??
 If you are looking for ideas on how to wear this, please refer to my blog post about Ulta's BE Holiday Event! Bravon created an amazing look using the pieces in this kit!



The Glamorous Life 9 piece collection is currently exclusive to Ulta stores & Ulta online. The purchase price is $49. If you haven't yet, request Bravon Pascua  as a friend on facebook! You can learn tons of tips & tricks with him!!!

Peace & Spotlight Sparkles,
Jess
