bareMinerals Radiance Rocks

Innovative beauty? Possibly. bareMinerals Radiance Rocks are made up of three minerals in their most natural state.


Hmmm....

Interesting but what's it for?

Jump!

This set is made up of three mineral rocks in various shades for a sheer wash of refreshing, cooling color on eyes, cheeks, or body.

Possibly one of the most interesting cosmetic assembles the Muse has seen to date these do so appear interesting. They come packaged with a Kabuki Brush for application and three shades which are bronze, champagne, and warm rose. Honestly, they look gorgeous but the question is will they be messy or way too pigmented to work with?

Remains to me scene but this Muse did so plop 'em in her cart at Sephora and is eagerly awaiting their arrival on her doorstep...maybe they'll be as special as they look!

What do you think?

Available for Sephora Beauty Insiders for $35.

P.S. Bare Minerals has done "rock"-like cosmetics before with a bronzer rock this past Summer.

WANT IT: bareMinerals Tutorials Eyelining Kit

The Muse generally enjoys bareMinerals Tutorial Kits so she's all excited about the latest offering from BE which is the new Eyelining Kit!

Jump ahead to hear more about this cool kit for making lining eyes easy and simple!

First I fell in love with the Smoky Eye Kit and than the Rocker Kit captured my fancy and now I must have the bareMinerals Tutorials Eyelining Kit.

This kit includes everything you need to learn how to line like a pro, indeed I need to learn these things. An easy script on a tip card allows you to create a perfect lined eye look in a few simple steps.

bareMinerals Eyelining Tutorial Kit includes bareMinerals sable liner shadow (matte) and minx liner shadow (shimmer). The set also includes a magnetic multi-liner brush with brush pouch. An interchangeable handle has a magnetic bottom for inserting either a flat line brush or a regular thin tip liner brush into it. One brush allows for multiply liner looks!

The kit is available now for $38 from Bare Escentuals.

Bare Escentuals Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Stick

The Muse always feels the need to multitask. That's why having a three-in-one pencil that lines, fills, and defines my lips seems like a great little idea!

Check it after the jump!

Available in six shades Bare Escentuals Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Stick ($18) is the brand new edition to the "buxom" line.


These new pencils define, line, and fill with creamy color and plumps them up as well. I'm not much for lining my lips in all honesty but I have a fan of the Buxom Lip Polishes (not to be mistake with the lipgloss which has an entirely different applicator and the Muse no likey) which them all the more appealing to try out.

Anyone interested?

Yay or Nay: Bare Escentuals Matte Foundation

Good morning lovies! Hope everyone is enjoying the fine weather. It's not quite Summer but it's getting warmer that's for sure.

Speaking of warm weather that sure does bring oily skin out to play doesn't it? Bare Escentuals is introducing a matte finish mineral foundation which could prove to be great news for the lovers of BE.


So Bare Escentuals Matte Mineral Foundation Yay or Nay?

Share your thoughts in the comment box and take the jump to see what I think!

Love BE do not love BE foundation. Personally I'd avoid it because BE foundation makes me itchy anyway. Secondly, I'd avoid it because a matte finish on my dry skin, not good to say the least. Even in the warmer weather when I'm having a bit of an oily skin spell I wouldn't indulge in a matte finish, just doesn't work for me at all.


How about you?

Let's here from the BE lovers, what's your take?

bareMinerals Rose Gold Gossamer

A new season, a new Bare Minerals Gossamer!

Check it out after the jump!

If it was up to the Muse she's be hoarding away Bare Minerals Gossamer like it was the end of their existence but she's since learned that she can never ever use that large pot. I love, love gossamer but it's just to big and it's more of a body product than it is a face so ado I must skip out on the brand new Bare Minerals Rose Gold Gossamer even if it is calling my name!

Bare Minerals continues to impress with each release of their super size body gossamers. This one is a golden rose shade that's sunny with touches of rose. It looks incredibly lovely and I'm sorely tempted to add it to my collection.


If you're as tempted as I am you can snag it from QVC by punching in item number A90488. It's $39 bucks and comes with it's own kabuki brush!

Product Musings: Bare Escentuals Blush in Fruit Cocktail

I've Mused Bare Escentuals Glimmers and Eyeshadows but I never discussed Bare Escentuals Blushes. Secondary, on my list of favs from Bare Escentuals line would have to be their blushes.


Bare Escentuals has some great hidden gems in their blush collection that many people probably never took note of, one such shade would be Fruit Cocktail.

Doesn't the name just make you happy?


The shade is a popping pink that kinda reminds me of fruit cocktail. Every eat fruit cocktail in the can? All that fruit and if you're lucky a single cherry or two....I used to love the cherry when I was little, it was the highlight of the fruit cocktail! This blush reminds me of those days.





The color could be a bit loud for some but for my cheeks it's very flattering. It has that just pinched look that I favor in my blushes and if I'm feeling frisky I can even use it as an all over color wash on my eyes!

Bare Escentuals Blush in Fruit Cocktail is one to watch, the Muse loves it!

Tried it?

Love it?

What are your fav shades of BE blush?
