Bare Escentuals Classic Rock Collection First Impressions

I've done first impressions on both the Gold and the Platinum Collections that Bare Escentuals introduced and now I have the Classic Rock Collection which is more of a sparkling white diamond in comparison with the silver and gold of the other collections! If you missed either of the posts about the other collections you can click here and here to view them!

This collection is quite nice but a bit smaller than the others as it doesn't contain nearly as much product and goodies as the others do! I'll be doing a comparison post of all three sometime next week but this definately contains a considerably amount less product than the Gold and Platinum Kits however it is still nice.

The first thing that deserves mentioning is the Buxom Lip Gloss included with this kit. Bare Escentuals must be listening because they have changed the applicator on the Buxom Lips from a sponge to a brush. Many complaints have arisen about the Buxom Lips being a great product but the sponge applicator wasn't distrubing enough product and you would be triple dipping to get enough gloss to apply on your lips. Well, have no fear, this Buxom Lip Gloss has a brush applicator and makes application simple. It's entitled Dominique and is a gorgeous clear gloss with a ton of sparkle. Our other two sets did not include a gloss but a lipstick. While this failed to include a lipstick the gloss is gorgeous enough to make up for that!

YAY Out with the Sponge Application and in with the Brush Applicator!


This set included two brushes instead of the normal three as seen with Gold and Platinum however they brushes are far more prettier than those collections in that they have a cute little rhinestone on the handle! You get a Flawless Face Brush and a Tapered Eyeshadow Brush with this kit! Both are pretty soft and I haven't seen any shedding yet after applying blush with the Flawless Face Brush this morning! So far so good!








You also, like the Platinum Collection, get a Beautifully Luminous Mascara Duo. If you're worried about getting repeat products when purchasing both sets you can rest easy knowing that both sets are dramatically different color wise. Where as the Platinum Kit contains a silver Beautifully Luminous Mascara this kit includes a sparkling white one! You can read my review on Beautifully Luminous Mascara by clicking here.





The Diamond Gossamer included with this kit is a gorgeous sparkling white color! They recommend using the Gossamer's as a body powder for arms, legs, cleavage, etc...I personally like using it on my eyes, face, and body! It's possibly my favorite Gossamer aside from the gold that was included with the bareGold Kit!



Classic Rock Eyeshadow is a sparkling silver color much like the silver color that was included with the Platinum collection but it is a bit lighter so it'll be nice to use both in a look for contrasting!



The blush you'll get is called Laughter and is a peachy color which is very nice! I fail to see too much diamond sparkle in it though! It appears quite matte to me but it's still a nice color.



Nice Rock Glimmer is a sparkling chocolate brown and you can most definately see the touches of diamond powder in it! I'm eager to give this a try!



And finally you get a cute little white clutch which I'm in love with. The other two kits did not include clutches but instead sturdy boxes to store your bits in! However, I am loving the clutch as it's quite lovely!



Overall, the collection is quite nice but I'm happy I didn't pay the original price tag of $59 for it. It's a nice set but the shadows included just don't seem to match up in my eyes (silver and chocolate?!?!).

There are definately some plus posh items in the lot such as the gossamer and clutch plus the brushes but it still fails to give me that WOW that I'm looking for!

It's definately a nice gift or for yourself but don't pay $59 for it! Nab it now while 20% at Sephora is still ongoing so you can save a few bucks on the kit!

Nice but no wow factor!

The Muse likes it but felt it was missing something!

Got it?
