BE Light Show review & an anniversary

Today is another big day!  I have been married to my best friend for 9 years.  I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else.  I can’t wait to go celebrate Saturday night.

And now on to the main event Bare Escentuals Light Show review.

I picked this palette up for my birthday and its my first BE ready (pressed powder) experience.  I have just been holding fast to the loose mineral shadows I fell in love with from them and had other palettes I enjoyed.  Well they did not disappoint. I can easily see reaching for this pretty regularly.

What you get

• blush-The Limelight
• bronzer-The High Dive
• Eye colors-Spotlight, Flash, Flicker & Dazzle
• Round the Clock Waterproof liner in 10pm
• Marvelous Moxie Lip gloss in Super Power

I love the eyeshadows.  Creamy and highly pigmented, they blend easily and feel great.  Bronzer is a nice color but I have others that I like more.  The blush is really nice soft pink just not much color saturation.  The lipgloss is a great nude and eyeliner a really pretty {chocolate} brown.  I have two looks below that I created with them but there are countless others!

Foundation- Too Faced Amazing face oil free makeup, Mascara- Tarte Lights, Camera Lashes (my current favorite) This look I placed spotlight all over, flicker on the lid up to the crease followed by dazzle. I concentrated dazzle in the v.  I used the too-faced eye primer and this photo was taken a few hours after applying.  It works well at holding the shadow but my favorite is still UD Primer Potion.

This look is more of a daytime smokey eye.  Spotlight all over again, flicker on the lid and flash concentrated on my crease and blended into outer half of lid.   I used Urban Decay primer potion with this look and the staying power was just that much better.

So if you are looking for a nice palette with good color payoff, this is nice.  I would personally opt for an eye palette with more eye color choices but in this case I wanted to try more of the pressed BE so this worked.
