LK Tries BE!

First, let us all have a moment of silence for my 8 month old camera that busted yesterday. I already ordered a new one, but it will be a couple weeks before I can take pictures again....Look for lots of LK's five favorites and other non-picture-y items in the next few weeks!


Plus, I totally Konad-ed Mr. Panda! Hurray!!
Can you believe I've never tried Bare Escentuals before? Crazy, right? I'm such a huge mineral makeup junkie and I've never tried the biggie. I guess it's because I think its crazy expensive.

I was lucky enough to win a some awesome goodies from one of my favorite bloggettes, LiAnn from SparkleCrack Central! (We were destined to be friends, do you see her blog name?!) She was so kind and ended up sending me TONS of BE and TSS to try out!

So, okay, well I had high expectations from BE. I mean, that shit is EXPENSIVE and has a huge following, so I was pretty excited to try it out!

What I used:
-BE Devotion- dark purple rose
-BE Retro- black coffee
-TSS LE Overcoiffed- soft taupe pink pearl
-MeMeMe Beat the Blues highlighter
-Aromaleigh Sonic Rocks! blush in Femme Fatale- clear vivid watermelon shade
-Hard Candy Painted Lady lipstick in Fire Alarm- soft nude

Please ignore the gross skin and un-done brows! Anyhoo, I used Devotion all over lid into crease, Retro as liner and Over Coiffed as highlight.

Oh baby, look at that shimmer! This is about 10 hours after I put it on! Some creasing with the shadow, but the liner toughed it out quite nicely!

Alright then, I guess I'm going to do a mini review of what I thought of the colors & formula. First off, BE shadows have the nice creamy consistancy of Exposed or Evil Shades. I really like that because I always feel they stay on better (for me!) than dryer colors. So +1 for them! I really liked the color and it went on very nicely. Great blending!

The liner shadow (which I guess is a whole big line...they have like 42 colors listed on their site) is what really blew me away. It went on really pigmented and DARK and I was able to get a nice line even though I used it dry!! And it lasted really well. My eyes tend to water a lot, especially the outer corner and you can see after 10 hours it was still there! Plus, the color that LiAnn sent, Retro, makes my eyes look crazy awesome. I have those weird color-shifty eyes...they change from blue to grey to green depending on my makeup.

Look for some more BE reviews in the next few weeks! I've also got a mascara and blush to try out!

Have you tried BE? Like or dislike? Worth the hype it gets?
