Addicted to Peach 5 piece Collection with bag
Rating
Phrases Chosen: an all inclusive collection
The Ready 2.0 The Guilty Pleasure gives you 2 eye shadows, Shh- an apricot nectar shade, looks great over the entire lid while Yes, Please-a cinnamon brown shimmer can be used in the crease and as a liner. The loose eye shadow Temptation (.57gm) is great to use with Shh for a two-tone eye look on the lid too. The Sweet Peach Radiance (.85gm), gives your cheek bones, nose bridge and the brow bones a golden peach glow. Round out your eye lashes with FD Mascara. Your lips look fantastic with the Marvelous Moxie lip gloss in Stylista, a vivid peach shade. All items fit into the lite metallic bag.

Color Choreography Lambada

Phrases Chosen: love to mix and match shadow colors, great to travel with
Love having 5 shadows to choose from in a compact form. These were the first multi-shadow compacts offered by BE. I only wish Sephora and BE would not only give the shadow name but also the color descriptions on the tip cards & description page on the stores web sites too! So BE please, may we have color descriptions printed on tip cards and/or box descriptions that go to all the department stores?
These easy creamy shadows stay on especially when you use the Buxom Stick Around pen Eye Primer offered by Sephora. Some shadows can be used for blushes and also as a lip color or eye liner.
Here are the shadows name with color descriptions ( took over a year to get this info). Swirl- light pink matte, Strut -dark purple, Sizzle -shimmery peach, Spin
-light purple, & Smolder -dark brown.
-light purple, & Smolder -dark brown.

Phrases Chosen: all inclusive collection great for travel
I love all inclusive collections especially when you travel and this fits the bill! I couldn't give it 5 stars because there isn't a label telling you what color is what? With much research this is what the color descriptions are: Color Choreography (eye shadows) Hustle- smoky black teal, Shuffle-rich brown slate, Twirl- pale citrine, Twist- shimmering sand. Buxom Mascara in blackest black, True Hue Blush in Escapade- soft peach, mini lip polish in Sasha- vibrant shimmering pink. All in an"envelope" makeup case, this was released in 2012.

Velvet "matte" eye colors
Rating
Phrases Chosen: smooth silky blendable
I loved these velvet matte eye colors when they first appeared as a set of 6 in 2 different collections on QVC. The Velvet Delights & The Velvet Luxe eye color collections. Some of them are great as a lip color or even as a blush. I'm happy they are offered in the .57gm size jars.

Flawless Definition Mascara
Rating
Phrases Chosen: awesome world's best mascara
If you have short, eye lashes then this mascara is for you! It glides on, separates each lash making them grow right in front of you to at least double or even triple the length you started out with. I love that it doesn't clump up either.
I was on cloud nine when The new Aqua Blast shade was released, I feel the aqua blue opens up my eyes even more and since my blue eyes love to change colors (depends on mood), to different shades of blues & lavenders, this blue makes them stand out more!
I love to first apply the black, let it dry, then apply the Aqua Blast on top for a different look. WOW!
You can't go wrong with either shade!

mini Extreme Glimmer brush
Rating
Phrases Chosen: "extremely" helpful w extreme shadow application
This brush should be used if you have any of the 9 extreme shadow colors. The bristles pack in the fine shiny particles. It's best if you use the Prime Time eyelid primer with these shadow shades. Don't swipe the color shadows on instead "pat" them and they will adhere better with a flawless seamless application. Eventho this is considered to be a "mini" brush, the bristles are full size and travels well.

Stay Golden (glazed Gold) will make your eyes stand out especially if done with a smoky eye look! The new RTC liner 3 AM (shimmering Black) is perfect go together with the eye shadow.
When it's time to remove your eye makeup, this new waterproof eye makeup formula glides on with ease and removes the make up much easier than the other make up remover.

High Shine Ice & Bronzed
Rating
Phrases Chosen: high shine eye color
When I want a quick make under and don't want to a lot of time putting on eye shadows, these are my go too's. I apply the High shine Colors. Ice is a soft frosted pink while Bronzed is a bronzy brown. Its best if you use the eyelid primer when applying these. Make sure you swipe the application wand on the top of the lid as there will be some fallout if you don't. The colors are a high sheen and will last you all day with your morning makeup routine. (these would receive 5 stars but don't like the fallout).

New & Improved Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover *
Rating
Phrases Chosen: love this new formula!
I loved BE's old eye makeup remover but this is much better. This product is clear and no shaking is required like their other eye makeup remover.
When applied to your cotton pad and you glide it over your eye shadows, liner, & mascara, it dissolves everything without any pulling on your delicate eye skin. No burning sensation or redness noted afterwards either. I use far less cotton pads to completely clean off the eye shadows, liners, and mascara than before. Give it a try!

If you are talking about the eye colors in Addicted To Peach, the answer is no. The Ready shadows are the same and the loose eye color shadow is a .57gm size.

The 2012 Lip Balm colors were For Keeps- a sheer rose shade,Lean on Me-sheer honey, and Sure Thing -a sheer plum shade.
The 2013 Lip Balms are At First Sight- a sheer grape shade, The One & Only- sheer tangerine, and True Love- a sheer watermelon shade.

Velvet Pistachio Eyecolor (crushed mint) (size: small)
are these shimmary or matte?
normally velvet means matte but the pictures look like they have shimmer in them
Hustle- smoky black teal, Shuffle- rich brown slate, Twirl- pale citrine I would say they're all mattes, Twist- shimmering sand is more on the sheen side than on the glimmer (shimmer) side. HTH

Passport Collection: The Jetsetter Edition
I love the collection and especially the bush it has become my go to blush. Is the blush sold separately?
Is the bush sold seperately?
The blush- Escapade (soft peach) is only found in this collection. It would be a good idea to grab another just for the blush so when you're done with this collection you won't have a backup.

Black and White Eyecolor - 2000
Opposites attract.
Looking for deep amethyst liner/ shadow loose powder. This came in a kit an i cannot find it anywhere sold by itself
JCO7A is the number on the jar
The color is great and has a nice shimmery sparkle to it.
The color is great and has a nice shimmery sparkle to it.
This liner came in a 2009 Holiday collection called Bare Minerals Jewel Collection which I believe was an Ulta exclusive. All the products were infused with real gems. The Deep Amethyst liner was part of this kit. Unfortunately, Bare Escentuals never released this as a single. My only suggestions would be put in a request to BE for a comeback as a single release or start searching on eBay for this beautiful liner.

Can/would/should you use the Renew & Hydrate Eye Cream and the Firming Eye Treatment together? And if so, in what order should items be applied?
Can both eye creams be used together?
Yes, you can use both. Use the Renew & Hydrate first. this way the orbital eye area becomes very supple and plumped up. then use the firming eye tx next to firm up the eye area. Use morning and night for best results.

What blush would be good for me?
I'm looking for a good blush for me as I am very fair skinned. I don't want to look like a clown without the nose?
I have fair to light skin tones and 2 blushes that really look good on me is Giddy Pink and Fruit Cocktail. Don't judge the colors by the containers. they are very light when applied. Best bet is go to a BE store and try them before you buy. HTH

Face Fashion: Pure Happiness Collection (including Happy Eyecolor, Wowza Eyecolor, Mini Big & Bright Eyeliner in Indigo, Small Chuckle Blush and Mini 100% Natural Lipgloss in Funnel Cake)
Is this kit worth the price now that its $24?
I love purple and green, especially together, so I wanted this kit as soon as I saw it. However, I usually use the liner shadows and I prefer Buxom glosses to the BE ones - and that on top of the fact that these are extra-small shadows makes me hesitant to buy it, although I think I would like the colors. Any thoughts?
At the new price it is well worth it. Remember, if you don't use the gloss or the liner put them into your gift giving closet. Happy (vanilla mint) goes on very light as well as Wowza (grape royale), a great crease color or even foiled as a liner itself.Don't hesitate to long before you know it they'll be gone and you'll regret not getting the kit.
