I prefer to use only one coat, as two coats made my lashes appear a bit spidery.īareMinerals Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara wore all day and night and I did not experience any flaking or smudging. It coats each of my lashes with the perfect shade of black that's not too dramatic for my fair complexion. The formula of bareMinerals Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara is one of my favorites - the not too wet, not too dry type. (I prefer the traditional brush.) I find the brush is easy to apply to all of my lashes, both top and bottom, without any clumping or smudging on the skin. The brush is a traditional brush and not the rubberized brush that has become popular. I received a sample of bareMinerals Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara in my Swag Bag from Beautylish's April Mixer. Product received from PR for editorial consideration, all opinions expressed are my own.Bare Escentuals Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara | Beautylish I still think this holiday set is a great gift for any makeup lover, novice or expert. The two eyeshadows alone make this box worth more than its retail price, and the lipgloss is an added bonus. You can’t really use this brush for the eyeshadow anyway, as it doesn’t pack on color well. I love the shape of this brush, but I have one just like it from Crown Brush (C419) and it’s ten times softer. I have very sensitive skin around my eye area and I found the bristles to be pokey and sharp. The eye shaping brush was pretty disappointing as well. To be fair, this isn’t the Flawless Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara… so maybe I just had unrealistic expectations? But for what it does, I could just use a lash comb. It can’t hold a curl to save it’s life, and didn’t add much volume or length. Sure it was defining it darkened and separated my lashes well with the skinny comb brush, but that’s about it. I just felt like this mascara wasn’t anything special at all. Now for the disappointments: the first being the Flawless Definition Mascara… although I may have had incorrect expectations of this product, and so making it a disappointment. However applied on top of a light nude lipstick (Mai Billsbepaid from theBalm) the color was stronger and gorgeous. I found that on top of my natural lips, the color didn’t show up very much. Moving on, another highlight of this set was the Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Temptress, which is a very shimmery rose color. They work together well to create a gorgeous holiday smoky eye.īTW when did we get rid of the “e” in smokey? Or does that only apply to Smokey the Bear? These colors can be built up when packed on, or blended out for a wash of color. They come in a typical shadow pot with sifters, thank god, because I’m a klutz when it comes to loose shadows. The colors included are Cherry Coco Truffle, a deep brown shade with red-wine shimmer and Sultry, a champagne shade with gold shimmer. The Smoky & Sultry set includes two eyeshadows, a lipgloss, a mascara and an eye shaping brush. Let’s start with what I find to be the strong points of the box! The eyeshadows are nothing less than the goodness you’d expect from bareMinerals. The best part? The set is selling for around $20. The Smoky & Sultry 5-piece Eye & Lip Collection embodies the trends of this season, including 5 products that will help you achieve a smokey, sultry eye and glossy lips. One such set comes from bareMinerals, exclusively for ULTA. There are so many incredible holiday gift sets coming out from some of our favorite brands, it’s incredibly overwhelming! This is the first year that I remember seeing what I consider to be high-end brands putting together value collections for the season of giving.
