Well this has been long overdue. I have just been lazy this weekend. I had a very hard work week and haven't been feeling well. But here it is finally! My BE Haul Part 1. Part 2 will be done when it arrives. Also there is some Clinique thrown in.
This haul includes 4 High Shine eyecolors in Bronze, Glisten, Moonshine, and Patina. Custom Blends vol.3 colors: Overjoyed, Smokin Hot, Stardust, Superstar. Brightening Eye primer in Gold and Pearl.Also included is the new BE Cares Eyecolor Enlighten. All of these items are from Bare Escentuals. From Clinique a GWP and 3 eyeliners in Grape, Roasted Coffee and Egyptian.
I love this bag! This is the reason I got the GWP in the first place. It holds a lot of MU too. Everything from this haul fit with room to spare!
Another pic of the haul.
The Clinique goodies. A palette with 2 eyecolors and a blush. Mascara, lipgloss, and the eyeliners. I want to talk about the lipgloss. It is called Vitamin C Smoothie. It has good pigmentation and feels moisturizing on the lips. With it's name though you would expect a fruity smell and taste. It has neither. I was a bit disappointed with that. The mascara, palette, lipgloss, face wash, makeup remover, eye cream, and bag were part of the GWP from Dillards. The 3 eyeliners are what I bought to get the GWP. Just wanted to clarify that. :)
The BE goodies! I love the Brightening Eye Primers!
These are the high shine colors. Top to bottom: Moonshine, Patina, Glisten, Bronze.
I love the High Shine colors. They have long staying power, blend well, and play nice with other colors. They give the foiled effect without foiling. Others have complained about messiness, but I haven't experienced that. I just pull the applicator out slowly and carefully. Then I apply using a patting technique to help minimize fall out. After applying I wipe below my eyes with a MU remover cloth.
Here are the Clinique swatches. I detest the eyecolors. This palette will be gifted out. I am not even going to go into a great bit of detail about them. They don't deserve it. They were horrible to blend with very poor color payoff. I had to apply multiple layers. Reminded me why I love my BE. The pencils are another story though. I have been trying to find a pencil that doesn't smear and smudge throughout the day. BE and MAC have both failed me. UD is so-so. These don't budge at all. They lasted all day through a busy ER shift. Beginning under the pink blush swatch from top to bottom is Roasted Coffee, Grape ( a nice amethyst color) and Egyptian. Egyptian is really pretty. It has a gold sparkle effect that is not captured by my camera. And out of the 3 it has the best staying power. I think I have found my Holy Grail eyeliners!
Here are my BE eye colors swatches. Top to bottom Superstar, Stardust, Smokin Hot, Overjoyed, and Enlighten. This Customer Blends kit is my favorite to date. All of the colors are to die for. Enlighten is the newest BE Cares color and it is a gorgeous yellow gold. Very pretty. I think I may get another Enlighten from the boutique for my 50 subscribers giveaway. So ya'll need to start subscribing, LOL!
I just want to say that I love Superstar. Such a pretty sparkly teal color. Crown wishes it could be Superstar. Superstar stays true to it's color and doesn't become sooty on application. I have got to think up a combo for this color. I can't wait to try it! Anyone have any combos I can try with Superstar?
I am excited to say that Saturday October 2 I will be traveling to Jacksonville FL to the first stop on the BE Big Buffing Road Trip where I will be meeting Leslie! Again! I am so excited! Here is a link about the Bus Tour if you are interested in attending. Of course, BE expecting tons of pictures and a review of my experience. I will be getting my first makeunder EVAH done and will be meeting some of my Mineral Madness and Majykal friends for the first time! Super excited!
