Disclaimer: I purchased this.
I've mentioned my extreme fondness for bareMinerals's 5-in-1 BB cream eyeshadows ($18) before here and here, and the romance continues. I've added a few more to my collection, and since today is Thanksgiving I'm showing the appropriately named Sweet Spice, a light cocoa tan.If you are not familiar with these cream eyeshadows, they have several selling points for me:
- SPF 15 - how many eye products have SPF? I wish more did, as I've got one freckle each on my lids, no doubt from sun exposure.
- A lovely texture that spreads easily and minimizes texture on my increasingly crepey lids.
- Long-lasting formula, although my uber oily lids still need a primer underneath. If your lids are not oil slicks like mine, you probably won't.
- Nine different neutral tones that work well as shadow bases or on their own, particularly if you like natural looking eyes.
I also really like that these are in tubes as I'm hoping they will last longer than pot cream shadows do. The doe foot makes it easy to apply and then I use my finger to blend. There are no harsh edges in sight, just smooth and flattering satin/matte color. These are not flat at all, as there is a very subtle shimmer in the mix.
I hope those that celebrate Thanksgiving are having a lovely day! My Thanksgiving meal continues my families' recent trend of non-traditional dishes for this holiday, with Chiles Rellenos on the menu. I did get a request for my red beans and rice as well, so I guess it's a mashup of Mexican/Cajun this year. So, adios and soignez vous-autres!
