Bare Escentuals 2.0 and 4.0

Hold The Phone

I am so excited about what is going on in the world of Bare Escentuals. Typically this is a brand that I completely ignore because of the messy foundations and eye shadows.  Then I began to pay the eye shadows some attention because of the amazing pigment.  Then they release their Pretty Amazing Lip Color which is just that – pretty amazing.  The shades, pigment, and coverage is beyond words. Well things just got even better in the land of Bare Escentuals with the release of their bareMinerals ready PRESSED eyeshadow duos and quads (2.0 or 4.0).  Yes you read that correctly – PRESSED.  Staying true to who BE is, they have formulated these shadows without parabens etc.  That’s cool if you care about that kind of thing but again – the pigment, coverage and blendability is superb.  In addition, these eye shadows provide anti-oxidant benefits and depuffs as well.  Not available individually, these shadows come in either a duo (2.0) or a quad (4.0) in a multitude of colors.  $20 and $30 respectively.  Available at sephora.com, bareescentuals.com, ulta.com

eye prime and treat

there are many awesome eyeshadow primers that i love and use regularly on myself and my clients such as shadow insurance by too faced, urban decay eyeshadow primer potion and smashbox photo finish lid primer.  now im adding to the list Sephora Collection Perfecting Eye Primer.  what i like about this translucent primer is the fact that it can be used around the entire eye area to make your eye makeup/concealer crease proof and long lasting AND it has anti-aging benefits in it to help minimize fine lines and circles .  this product comes in a tube so i use either my finger or a concealer brush to apply.  $14
