Bare Minerals, Shine On Set!

Ello Ello! 

I recently bought the shine on set from www.feelunique.com

The main reason is that it was on sale (we all love a cheeky bargain don't we)

Well anywho! ... i have not been too keen on bareminerals before as i haven't found anything that completely wow's me.

The first impresson that i had of this set of multiple items is that it gives a new customer a little of everything to try out! .. Plus the case is super shiny and gold and slightly on the chunky side!

So in the set you get two eye shadows, one being a light shimmery pink called Glitterati that has a gold undertone in it which is beautiful. the second is a deep plum/purple matte shade called Center Stage. Both are extremely pigmented and very long lasting, even without the primer!

In the picture you can see the shimmer from Glitterani next to the lip gloss 

Center stage however comes off a bit dark in the picture where its actually a little more purple but you can see the pigmentation from one swatch with the finger!

 You can see the purple/plum a bit better in this image.

On the left you have the blush in this palette which is a very muted light pink again with gold shimmer. Its called "the big break" and is a nice daytime blush, it gives you just a little colour without being too over the top as well as being a nice highlighter! 

However it wouldn't work well for a strong evening look.

On the right you have the Marvelous Moxie lipgloss in the colour A-lister

Its a lovely nude/everyday colour that just gives you enough colour and shine without standing out too much, 

it has a mint taste to it and that tingly lip sensation when you have plumping glosses which can put some people off. It does however stay for a long time, is not tacky and is very versatile.

On the bottom is the Round the clock waterproof eyeliner in 4pm 

its a lovely dark purple which is a nice change to a generic black. It however is not an in your face purple and would really bring out green eyes! .. even blue would pop and it would also look lovely on brown eyes too! 

It really doesnt budge and lasts all day, its very creamy and i love it!

The last things in the kit are a little blush brush which is soft, and a sponge applicator that is somewhat useless for eyeshadow but perfect for smoking eyeliner out.

You get a Primetime eyelid primer in the kit which is very good and is up to par with other eyelid primers out, particularly urban decays primer potion.

All in all i quite like the set, the packaging is a smidge bulky for my taste and feels a bit flimsy.

The gold sparkly make up bag you also receive in the kit is a nice bonus that i'm sure my niece will adore! It again is not to my taste as it's a little too sparkly but if ever i need another make up bag i have one! 

 I paid £19.50 for the kit and i have to say that was a fair price! however it was on sale 

(Ps.Sorry for my pale hands :P)
