Have you added any of the Spring 2013 bareMinerals items to your makeup collection yet? Over the past month I have had the chance to test out a few pieces and fell in insta-love with the bareMinerals READY Eyeshadow REMIX Edition eyeshadow quads: The Next Big Thing and The Wild Thing. First off, the shiny blue packaging is too cool! Remember the gold packaging from the holiday sets? What a pretty alternative for Spring.
The Next Big Thing features Rising Star (sunlit gold), Smash Hit (vibrant peach), Hoopla (glowing copper), and Ensemble (smoked-out plum).
Because I’m ME, I happen to totally favor the shimmers in this palette (and most palettes) but I just adore wearing all four of these together. Ensemble makes a very nice eyeliner. Also, look at that peach Smash Hit! I can’t say enough how much a enjoy wearing it and I don’t think I own any shade like it.
Here’s a recent look using The Next Big Thing:
The Wild Thing features Sensational (iridescent aqua), Icon (electric chartreuse), Elitist (bronzed taupe), and Controversy (deep marin blue).
While I love the shimmers in The Wild Thing, my real favorite in this one is Icon. Have you ever seen such a pretty green? I cannot get enough of this shade for Spring. Sensational may be my new go-to inner corner highlight also, very unexpected. Again, all four work very well together and that means no guesswork for me! I never have any serious issues with blending out bareMinerals eyeshadows and certainly none with pigmentation. Love that!
Overall, loving both palettes and will continue to wear these amazing shades all through Spring and Summer! BareEscentuals.com, $30 each

What do you think of these eyeshadow quads, anything for you?
I’m surprised how pretty the palette looks so lightly applied. I tend to have a heavy hand and never think of doing just whisper soft colors like you did. Very pretty.

Thanks so much, Marcia! It’s funny I always think I’m using a heavier hand but can’t get the hang of it. Even when I think I have a lot on, my pics barely show the color! I guess I get scared and end up blending it out :).
I have yet to try out bareMinerals shadows, these look so great, good pigmentation & good mix of colors!! xo

Thanks, Catherine! You should definitely try one of the duos or quads, I bet you will love these shadows!
Thanks for the swatches and that pretty look, Tina! I keep wanting to try a duo or a quad from bareMinerals, but I haven’t made the plunge yet! I like how they pair colors in uncommon and interesting ways, and I’d love to see for myself at some point how that works out on the lid!

Thank you, Sunny! Oooo you must try bareMinerals very soon, you will not be disappointed :).
Tina you look wonderful! I like those colors on you very much. I want The Wild Thing it would be perfect for my teen grandgirl. I live my youth all over again by way of my girls. lol You should do a slightly ombre lip I see that is very popular right now.

Thanks so much, Victoria! Don’t be afraid to try these shades I think anyone can wear them really :). You have me curious to try the ombre lip, I will have to do a lot of practicing before I publicize that for sure, ha!
Love both of these. I love the packaging as well. Will probably order them online because my Ulta is sold out. The first set looks really lovely on you, and really wearable. And that gold is out of this world!

I do a lot of online ordering because I like to use Ebates and earn cash back while getting the free shipping deals, etc. Thanks so much for the compliment, these shadows are just so beautiful and very wearable. I always love golds too!
