your Beauty Our duty

Bare Escentuals Buxom Betty Collection ($42) delivers defined eyes, red lips, and a dewy complexion for an ultra-wearable pinup-girl look. This collection stemmed from the collaboration of Bare Escentuals and two Sephora cast members — Bonnie Watts of Los Angeles and Gary Chorost of Las Vegas. This duo spinned their passion for bareMinerals into an opportunity to work personally with Leslie Blodgett, CEO of Bare Escentuals. The result is a collection that makes a classic trend timelessly glamorous.

This 1950s inspired collection includes: 0.01 oz bareMinerals Clear Radiance All-Over Face Color (sheer, translucent glow), 0.01 oz bareMinerals Silk Stockings Eye color (glimpse, peachy nude), 0.01 oz bareMinerals Stilettos Liner Shadow (ruby onyx), 0.15 oz Mini Big Tease Mascara in Blackest Black, 0.07 oz Mini Betty Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Polish (crimson red), and Mini Double-Ended Contour & Detail Brush.

Review: This new, adorable limited-edition kit from Bare Escentuals is the perfect way to create your own iconic look. Even I just found the mascara just to be okay, I was awe in everything else, especially the lip gloss! The lip gloss is the right shade of red without being overly dramatic. I was quite impressed with the black eye shadow as well. It can be a bit difficult to find a decent black eye shadow, but like many other black eye shadows I've tried, it flakes onto my cheeks and be a little messy. However, it is very easy to wipe off. I'll warn you though, ever thing in this kit is extra small. You might be disappointed if you're looking for full size products. This would make a great gift for any glamour girl that you know.
