Hey guys! So over the Christmas period (which seems so far away already) I was given this gorgeous 7 piece bare minerals collection set as a gift off my mum. I want to start by saying how much I love this set, purely because all the products are items I would use for an everyday makeup look. Plus they are all in a limited edition packaging / each product lid is unique compared to the usual bare minerals foundation lid etc... A perfect starter kit to an everyday look a girl could ask for selling at £57 + P&P on QVC here.
So whats included?


1. Original SPF Foundation 8g - RRP £26, Click here to view product online.
Now I already use this foundation and I purely love it! It gives a good coverage even with breakouts or blemishes, or even red skin... It never makes my skin get irritated, breakout more or even get more dry/oily. Plus you only need a small amount in the lid to complete your whole face look! (For reference, I got the colour fairly light N10 as I'm porcelain pale!)

 2. Chandelight Glow Illuminator 10g - Limited edition
I must admit, I have fallen for this product its more like a rouge gel type and comes in a large size compact with a mirror inside! It's pinky tone is easy to apply on the apples of your cheeks with brush or finger! And looks 100% natural and not too heavy or dark (which makes me love it the most!), plus with the product like a gel it can easily be applied on your eyelids for matching makeup finish which I just love even more! I can honestly say I would 100% invest in this product again. 

 3. Loose Blush 0.85g (Sweet Romance) - RRP £20, Click here to view product online.
With most blushes, this is a powdered one and is a very good average size tub! There isn't too much I can honestly say about this product as I much prefer using the illuminator but is easy to apply and another blush to add to my collection!

4. Loose Eye Colour (Nightfall) - Limited edition
Now when I first saw this product, I was slightly worried by the size I honestly did expect it to be a large tub with more product... The colour is very dark glitter toned but I can honestly say it shocked me! I used the smallest amount on my brush (without even using an eye primer), and it applied all over my lid with good coverage and colour! It's perfect for winter looks or even for nights out!

5. Lasting Line Long-Wearing Eyeliner 0.35g (Forever Brandy) - RRP £15, Click here to view product online.
This liner is so easy to use its crazy! The main factor I love about this is that you can draw a fine thin dramatic line.. Or use the angled smudge tip on the other side to blend out and get a smoother more lighter finish..

 6. Lash Domination Mascara 11m - RRP £18, Click here to view product online.
At first when I saw this product I was unsure what to expect... The tube itself was pretty thick and wide, when I saw the brush with a twisted and unusual looking tip (first I have ever seen with this style) I knew it would instantly not get thick and blotch up. When I applied I instantly didn't have to worry about my lashes sticking together, too thick for one area.. It applied easily, and evenly! With a very natural thin finish (I love using this when I'm just running out to a local store or somewhere with a light weight finish look).

 7. Marvelous Moxie Buttercream Lipgloss 4.5ml (Sassy Sobert) - RRP £16, Click here to view the product online.
If you guys didn't already know, I'm a huge lover for bare minerals lip glosses they just make me feel complete! The thing I love most about this one is it's smooth soft texture that instantly hydrates my lips making them feel tasty. The colour itself is more of a darker pink and just fits perfectly with pinky colours! A huge lover for this product and would 10000% rebuy this when I run out!

Overall I love this collection, all the colours go perfect together and its all the required elements a girl would need for a perfect everyday look. My most favorite would be either the foundation, Illuminator or lipgloss! Let me know if any of you use bare minerals products & what your thoughts are below?X

So I recently purchased this item off QVC in search for new cheek products and decided to choose this as it has been highly reviewed recently. It arrived in this cute little box, as usual Benefit packaging being super cute! It had a simple mini brush inside, where a mirror is when the lid is lifted up. 




At first I wasn't impressed it took me awhile to get the colour to come out but I then used another brush of mine and it worked fabulous! The colour is in between a pink and coral mixed together with a perfect shimmer, I found it applied smoothly with no issues, lasted all day long and really helped enhance my face dimension. As for the brush which came with it, I think because it is " new " and " unused " it needs to be used a few times, but I prefer to stick with my usual brushes but this mini brush is perfect for a handbag size / travel!

This collection was bought off QVC for a special value of £45 it's still available for £55, this collection comes in a gorgeous box which I will defiantly be keeping to store other products in! It came with a small guide of how to use each product, really useful! (And I did order two!





The first product in this set you would use is the Spackle Tinted Primer, this is a very light tinted color, which adapts to any skin color giving a shimmer glow. It is a great product and I can say, it has become one of my favorites simply because this helps make your skin look more healthy in color so you could easily wear it on it's own during the summer period if your just out and about and not looking for full coverage. 




The next product is the powder foundation, I got the colour "porcelain" as I am an extremely fair skin color. I have to admit this is the first product which I can honestly say it is 100% color perfect, it is very light and beyond shocked me! When I first applied this product, I used the brush with this kit and it just never worked very well, the second attempt I used my own brush and it applied smoothly, I found if I take longer to blend the product into my face it gives more color. As it is a powder foundation it doesn't give 100% coverage and I would say it gives about 40% coverage and focuses more on the color. I recommend if you are to use this product and like to have a large amount of coverage (like myself) you should use a very good concealer! 





The eye-shadow duo which came with the set in Earth & Petal colors. I personally think this duo is perfect for getting a smokey simple look, it has no shimmer or glitter to the colors and once applied it gives a very simple yet dramatic appearance.




 The blush is amazing, my favorite and most beautiful product I have EVER seen! It has a mixture of pink and glitter colors, it gives a perfect shimmer and is patterned perfectly. When I swatched this product is looked so perfect, I noticed when I applied it, the product didn't show up as much and I had to apply it a few times to get it noticed, (I personally think it was the brush I was using).





The lipstick is also again, a new favorite of mine as I love how it pumps up from twisting the bottom but the tip is very soft almost like velvet. You only need about two twists and you have enough product ready! I applied this in the morning and it lasted through out the day, the color is very spring like almost like a peach color.











The eyeliner is is waterproof in dark brown shade, its container is an unusual shape (it doesn't stand up right because it is angled at the bottom), it has a rubber like material towards the top of the product making it easy to grip (which I love about this) when using it to apply. And like majority of liners in containers similar you twisted the top (from where you remove the lid) for more of the product to come out.





And finally, the double ended brush with came with this set. The larger end of the brush is suppose to be used for the foundation, but when I used it I found the brush was very thick and irritable to my skin I found if I was to apply this as a foundation brush it would being to irritate my sensitive skin. So instead I have decided to use it for my blush :-) And then, the thinner side I use for the eye shadow when attempting to blend.

This product was bought in a QVC set from Bare Minerals, this is a powder blush in the colour "glamour". To apply this product I simply dab a small amount into the lid and then use a brush to mix and apply to the apples of my cheeks and blend outwards.

This blush is a powder type from Bare Minerals, the colour of this product is love radiance a light burgundy pink type. (My favorite) This did come with a top to cover the holes where you can sprinkle out the product but stupidly I broke it off and forgot to replace! I apply this product by slowly dabbing a small amount into the lid and using my brush I mix it around in the lid then once the product has applied. I make a smile face and begin to lightly dab across the apples of my cheeks and blending downwards. This colour is very very VERY very natural like, it does have a small shimmer glitter affect which I love about the product!

This product was purchased off a Bobbi Brown counter in Debenhams sometime last year, this can be used for your lips as a glossy lip colour or for your cheeks as a stain colour. I personally prefer to use this product for cheeks only, but that's just a personally view as I think it suits a cheek colour more. I apply this by dabbing my index fingertip in the product then making a smile face, and dotting the product upwards from the apples of my cheeks towards my ears and then blend downwards using my finger.
