Swatch, Review, FOTD: bareMinerals Crystallized Full Face Collection #HolidayGiftGuide

The bareMinerals Crystallized Full Face Collection is my favorite beauty gift set that I have encountered so far this season!  I love the holographic theme, keepsake tin and just the all-around cool factor of this set.  There are several NEW products debuting in this set as well.

Take a gander at the keepsake tin in a “holographic” purple/silver color:

The Crystallized Collection includes a ton of products for a complete look and even a double-ended brush.

L to R: NEW All-Over Face Color – Golden Gate Radiance, Eyecolor – Steam, NEW Liner Shadow – Mesmerized PLUS NEW Double-Ended Shade & Define Brush

bareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow 2. 0 – The Magic Word: Presto, Abracadabra

L to R: READY Eyeshadow 2. 0 The Magic Word – Presto (almond satin) and Abracadabra (shimmering slate); All-Over Face Color – Golden Gate Radiance, Eyecolor – Steam (metallic silver shimmer), Liner Shadow – Mesmerized  (dark charcoal)

I love that you can create a ton of full face looks with this set!  Also, the dual-ended brush is very nice.  One end is actually a soft, rubbery point perfect for applying the liner to my top lashes.  The other end is a super dense, short blending brush.  I have nothing like either in my brush collection so I fell in love instantly.

bareMinerals Lash Domination Volumiziing Mascara – Intense Black

Marvelous Moxie Lipstick – Break Away

NEW Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Hypnotist

L to R:  Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Hypnotist (holographic violet peach); Marvelous Moxie Lipstick – Break Away (luscious mauve)

I am not going to lie, the holographic lipgloss is what I love most about this set.  When I first applied it on my lips I was disappointed that it appeared almost translucent.  What is cool about this lipgloss is that when you press your lips together, you can see the color-change!  Needless to say I was crazy-excited about that :).  I also love the READY Eyeshadows for the gorgeous shimmery color and amazing pigmentation.  The loose shadows/liner  will take a little practice for me.

I put together a very subtle look with the several products from the Crystallized Full Face Collection below:

I am wearing the All Over Face Color in Golden Gate Radiance (over my foundation) and I LOVE the result on my complexion.  Talk about a pretty glow!  It is so effective at blurring imperfections, in my opinion.  I am also wearing Presto and Abracadabra eyeshadow, the Lash Domination Mascara, Break Away lipstick and Hypnotist lipgloss.

Overall, the bareMinerals Crystallized collection is an outstanding beauty gift for a number of reasons.  The cool factor is a 10 with a keepsake tin, holographic lipgloss, shiny packaging and lots of NEW products.  The wow factor is also a 10 with all of the products you receive which all work beautifully together.

Exlusively at Sephora, $54.
