Review: Bare Mineral Prime Time Primer Shadow

I've had these Bare Minerals Prime Time Primer Shadow for a while now. I'm super excited that Bare Minerals has finally come out with colored primers. I liked these because they serve more than one purpose. Not only are they a primer but can be used as an eyeshadow all by itself.

There are actually six colors in the range and I picked three of the six. I feel like the three colors I picked are more suitable to my everyday makeup routine.

The three I picked are: (L-R) Chroma Violet, Urban Nature & Bronze Twig


Swatches: Very pigmented:)
So, I've had a chance to try out all three. Verdict: LOVE!
First, they last all day without creasing or smudging. It's important for me to find a primer that won't make my eyeshadows run since I have very oily lids.The color that I used the most is Bronze Twig.
Bronze Twig is a nice chocolate bronze shade. I wear it under a brown taupe shade and it really warms up the  eyes.
Chrome Violet is a medium violet shade with a bit of shimmer. I wore this by itself on the lid and a light, medium brown crease color.
Urban Nature- now this shade is the one that took me by surprise because how the color looks on the tube is slightly different than it does in person. In this case not a bad thing. The shade is more of a light green/gray with a hint of pink/lavender. It's just an awesome color. Perfect on it's own or with a color on top.

All three of these primers (and the rest of the other 3) can be worn by themselves. I wore mine for about 9 hours or so and that's with a warm weather. I say these eye primers are worth checking out if you haven't done so.

The Bare Minerals Prime Time Eyelid Primers retail for $18 each. And can be purchased anywhere Bare Minerals is sold.
Can be purchase at Ulta and Sephora.

P.S. Don't let the size of these primers fool you. You only need very little amount and it's enough to cover the entire lid. Plus they apply so smoothly that's it's worth it. I say give these a try.

Have a great weekend!

Thank You Bare Escentuals and Happy 35th Birthday!

This year Bare Escentuals is celebrating it's 35th Birthday. To commemorate it's big day, all Bare Escentuals Boutiques were giving a special treat to their customers.
P.S. This post is REALLY late...The boutiques are no longer giving away the free gift to the first 35 customers - it was only valid June 11 - June 12...Sorry..

I purchased the Limited Edition foundation in shade Medium Tan and a Pretty Amazing lipcolor in Fearless
Limited Edition packaging celebrating Bare Escentuals 35th Birthday! Only a few of their popular shades had the limited packaging. The packaging is very elegant and would fit nicely on the vanity. I picked a couple up actually. I'm in shade Medium Tan.
Etched around the base of the foundation are Leslie's signature
and 35 years...


Inside the foundation are different random messages....I got this one...
This eyeshadow was out of order. This is included in the Gift Bag given to customers....see rest of what's inside the gift below...
Pretty Amazing Lipcolor in Fearless (not a gift but a purchase)
i really love the applicator of the lipgloss ...it's flexible and when turned sideways you can use the tip to line your lips and then fill in the rest. The application and pigmentation is great. It's not sticky. However, when taking it out of the packaging, sometimes you end up getting a lot on the applicator. But you can always take some out and just apply a bit. I will purchasing more of these.

The Free Gifts: Just for showing up and being one of the 35 customers that day I got an amazing free gift from Bare Minerals. You get 3 Full size items: Thank You e/s, 2 Buxom gloss one in Full Color Roxanne and in Regular Buxom in Isabella! Plus you get a mini of their new lipcolor called Pretty Amazing in Confidence and mini Flawless Definition Volumizing mascara. Seriously, this is an AWESOME gift! So, Thank You BE for being such an amazing product to all women....Many more birthdays to come!
Love the packaging on the Buxom....Which Buxom girls are you? Visit Bare Escentuals and let me know!

The Buxom glosses in Isabella (left) & Roxanne (right)
The Buxom Full Color glosses are more pigmented in color and have a different applicator. Buxom Roxanne has a brush applicator.
Meanwhile, Buxom Isabella has a sponge or doefoot applicator
And to top it off, each guest who was able to get a gift bag also received this...A discount card worth $20 off of your next purchase of $75 or more! Sweet!!!
That's all for now....I absolutely love everything I got.....More BE postings to come!

xoxo, Lynn

Off to Bare Escentuals Boutique

After the Nordstrom Trend Show, I rushed over to the Bare Escentuals boutique inside Bloomingdale's to get in line as they were having a giveaway. This year, Bare Escentuals is celebrating their 35th Birthday and in honor of that, the first 35 people to line up outside the boutiques Saturday, June 11th through Sunday, June 12th will received a goody bag, no purchase required. Isn't that an awesome deal? And they are great goodies too - which I will show on my next post.

That particular day was a busy day running from the Trendshow all the way to Bloomies:)

Anyway, I just wanted to show what the inside of the boutiques look like because I think it's really pretty being surrounded by all this BE goodness!


Upon walking in the front door, you are given a number and that number is what you give to the sales associate to claim your free gift.

A table filled with Bare Escentuals new kit, Love & Happiness (retails for $35)
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this but I actually waited a week before I purchased it! I know weird!
Here is what the kit consist of...Can't wait to try that new blush and lip balm!
Has anyone tried the new Pretty Amazing lipsticks? From the picture it looks like I have everything except 2 or 3 as they too pale for me- I like color on my lips:)

ooohhhh...and in honor of the 35th Anniversay, Bare Escentuals created a Limited Edition packaging of some of their favorite foundation shades. Below is a glimpse of the silver cap- very fancy looking and will be a nice addition to the vanity...I'm in shade medium tan!
Alright, I'm off to bed! More posts coming tomorrow!
nite nite
