I love Bare Escentuals and I have the collection to prove it. Recently, I was really excited to check out the Matte Foundation, which didn't make me itch in the summer heat and did make me look fabulous. I am also a big fan of most of their lip glosses, so imagine my delight when I found out they were releasing a Buxom Lipstick/Lip Polish hybrid!
The Buxom Lip Stick features the color of a lip stick, the plumping of a Buxom Lip Polish and a built-in sharpener so you can use it as a liner. I tried the color Milan, which is an apricot color, and falls somewhere between the original lip colors Ginger Snap and Truffle. It goes on smooth with a twinge of Buxom freshness. It also lasts for a really long time.
It's not glossy on its own, but when I added a little Amber Buxom on top of Milan, it looked amazing! (Shown above without gloss.) These lipsticks are also chock full of Vitamins A,C and E, making them hydrating to wear. The new Buxom Lipsticks are available in 6 flattering shades, retail for $18 and are available from Sephora in August.
Bare Escentuals is also releasing a new eyeliner this month; Buxom Insider Eyeliner. This eyeliner is made specifically for the inner rim of your lower lid (the waterline) as well as along your upper lash line. I got my hands on emerald, a silky smooth, long lasting green shade. This eyeliner is infused with a healthy blend of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants to protect from further environmental damage. Since you are applying it in such a small area, I am not sure exactly what it is protecting me from, but that's OK. The color looks great, applies like a dream and is long lasting. It's not waterproof, which I don't really understand. How long can it stay on your waterline without a little help? Mine lasted for about 3 hours on the waterline and about 14 hours along my upper lash line. Here is my best attempt at a photo to show you how great this green is (accept my apologies now, please). The color reminds me a little bit of the shadow color Green Tea, but it is less blue and more green without being an overly dark green or a vibrant jewel tone. It's really pretty and not your typical green liner. Insider Eyeliners are available in 6 colors, including Pearl, which I am dying to try. They retail for $14 and will be available at Sephora in August.
Finally, I was lucky enough to be able to check out bareMinerals Flawless Definition Mascara, which I am also wearing in the snap above and below. I really like this mascara! It gives you a longer and thicker lashes, without smudging or falling apart midday. The best part of this mascara is no doubt the brush - it is full at one end and really thin at the other, which is perfect for getting every little lash.
It is also packed with Jojoba Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Vitamin E and Shea Butter to condition and fortify your lashes. You really need to check this out! (The picture above was taken at the end of the day and there is no mascara on the lower lashes.) It is available everywhere in August and retails for $18.
I love this. Check it out!
