Now I Gotta Cut Loose (Footloose), with These Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Oh La Luxe Swatches

October 9th, 2011 by Karen 29 Comments

bare minerals oh la luxe

I won’t pretend that I didn’t try to fit Tabs into the case that comes with the new Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Oh La Luxe holiday kit ($79, available now at Sephora and also online), but you know…husky.

Here are those swatches I mentioned I’d do. Not really up to a whole lot today. So far I went for a run, cleaned up a little, started reading a new book (All These Things I’ve Done, by Gabrielle Zevin), and now I’m craving pumpkin gelato and trying to think of a way to sweet talk El Hub into getting me some.

Yup, action packed day. 🙂

How about you? What are you up to this afternoon?

    Ooh, I love all of it. I do have a birthday this month….

    I channeled my inner domestic diva today. No time for make up fun.

    Wow, quite a swatching frenzy you were on there! Just got back from hitting up a 20% off sale at Big Lots and taking advantage of some Extra Bucks at CVS. All stocked up on necessities now.

        At Big Lots I mostly got stuff for the house (cleaning stuff, paper goods), but I also picked up a box of Christmas cards. Yes, I know it’s way early but they have a nice selection now and with the discount I had to go for it.

        At CVS I picked up a couple of new items from Salma Hayek’s Nuance line. They are these three in one eye wands, with a cream shadow, a highlighting stick and a automatic pencil liner all in one wand. So handy! I’m trying out the pewter/silver one today. We’ll see how well it wears throughout the day.

    Gah, Cable Car and Celestine are SO pretty!

    Today I took advantage of the beautiful weather by playing a bit of tennis. Otherwise, not a very exciting Sunday (catching up on work..).

    They’re pretty but loose powders and me don’t work too well together.

    I started to plan my wedding! We’re getting married in a little over a year from today!

    ooo! The liner is pretty, but bare escentuals is just not good makeup for traveling! I have so many eye shadows and extra foundations that sit in a box in my closet now because I travel so much for work. I may buy some of their new duos and quads though!

    I love the Killers’ song “All These Things That I’ve Done”. 🙂 And, btw, what do you think of Footloose being remade? Of course I liked it back in the day, but I didn’t think it was screaming for a 2nd go. Then again, I guess I felt that way about the Karate Kid, too.

      Hi, hi!

      I’m really grumpy about it getting remade, to tell you the truth. It didn’t need to be re-done! Did you hear they are now also remaking Scarface? I’ve also heard rumors about Back to the Future getting remade. Sacrilege!

    i am not sure i want to commit to a bunch of loose eyeshadows but those swatches are tempting! i only have 3 BE/BM eyeshadows and while i love them, they dont get much use!

    speaking of pumpkin gelato, i had some yesterday at a quaint little coffee shop while waiting for the hubs. yum!

      How was your gelato? Mine was really delish… I went a little crazy and got an extra scoop of caramel pecan too. Whoops! Now I need to run it off. 🙂

      Did you end up working this weekend?

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
