bareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow 4.0 featuring The Dream Sequence

Okay so I'm sick of talking about these eye shadows!  Like seriously I want to talk about some of my other goodies that arrived yesterday but I promised to post about all four of these quads so here we go.  Great pigmentation, wears for a long time, no problems with creasing.  I love purple eye shadow so this quad was right up my alley but I just wasn't feeling the look I did today.  I usually like to do a purple smokey eye but I wanted to showcase all of the colors so I did something a little different.

BARE ESCENTUALS READY EYESHADOW 4.0
Shade:  The Dream Sequence featuring 500 Thread Count, Romp, Boudoir, Nightcap
Available at Sephora
$30.00 USD
Loves:  The staying power is great on these shadows.  They swatch easily.  Great pigmentation!
Hates:  Nothing!

Boring eye look isn't it!  Boooo.  But hey I tried.  So that is the last of the quads!  I've posted all the links below if you missed any of them.

bareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow 4.0 - The Elements
bareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow 4.0 - The Afterparty

Out of all four, my favorite quad has been The Elements!  I think all of the quads are great quality but that one just stood out for me.

Look of the Day 2.25.2012 - The Truth

Wow some days are really tough.  This has been one of those days.  I'm just extremely tired and it seems like I can never keep up with all of the things that I have to get done in a day but I'm trying.  With that being said, I somehow had time to do another look of the day and I love it!  I didn't like the fact that the colors all had a sheen to them but when I looked at the completed look I absolutely loved the colors.  Also, since it's getting a little warmer I wanted to play with some brighter lip colors.  Hope you like it! Sorry I had to take all the pictures with a flash because it was late in the day and the sun was nowhere in sight.

bareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow 4.0 featuring The Truth

This is the third bareMinerals Ready Palette that I have tried.  I think this is a good palette but definitely not one that I would do cartwheels over.  I wish that one of the colors had been more matte as it seems they all have a bit of sheen/shimmer to them.  The sheen isn't bad, it is just my personal preference to have a matte shade for depth in the crease or outer v area when I am doing an eye look.  These colors are multidimensional and look very different on my eyes than they look in the pan and even in swatches.  I like this palette very much.

Look of the Day 2.20.2012 - Call Me Optimistic

Well I'm on a roll with blogging I guess.  I had to take a break from my Bare Escentuals Quads because I wanted to try the two products that I just received from the Shop MAC Collection.  I used the Call Me Bubbles Quad and Optimistic Orange Cream Blend Blush.  I love the Spring colors of the quad and orange blush is always love!  Hope you like this look.

MAC - Shop MAC Collection featuring a Quad and a Blush

I finally received my shipment of MAC products a couple of days ago.  I hauled the Call Me Bubbles Quad and Optimistic Orange Cream Blush.  I loved the bright spring/summer shades in the Call Me Bubbles Quad.  I picked Optimistic Orange Cream Blush because I love how orange blush looks on my skintone and I wanted to give cream products another try since I usually stay away from them.

MAC SHOP MAC COLLECTION QUAD

Shade:  Call Me Bubbles featuring Call Me Bubbles, Fresh Daily, Full of Flavour, Brash
Available at MAC
$38.00 USD
Loves:  I absolutely love the colors Fresh Daily and Brash.  Call Me Bubbles was a little light on my skintone but I made it work.  Full of Flavour was just okay, nothing special in my opinion.
Hates: Nothing.  I can work with all four colors although I prefer some over others.  I think that the Quad was one of MAC's better ones.

MAC SHOP MAC COLLECTION BLUSH

Shade:  Optimistic Orange
Available at MAC
$20.00 USD
Loves:  The color of course.  I also love how it settles on the skin and looks really nice.  The best part about it is the way it makes my skin look once it is blended in.  Love it!
Hates:  Nothing.

That's all I hauled but I wanted a couple of the lipsticks.  Unfortunately, they sold out too quickly.  Did you get anything from the collection?  Were you lucky enough to get your hands on the lipsticks?  I really wanted Quick Sizzle!
