Review: bareMinerals Sweet Obsessions Eyecolor Collection

bareMinerals Sweet ObsessionsI was trying so hard to wait until a little bit closer to Thanksgiving to post this holiday release from bareMinerals, but I’ve had so much fun playing with it that I couldn’t wait!  Sweet Obsessions is a nine-piece eyeshadow collection enclosed in what opens up to look like a box of chocolates, inside the foil candy cups are some pretty sweet bareMinerals eyecolors.  Here’s the color breakdown:

• Strawberry Mousse Eyecolor– frothy pink glimmer
• Berry Custard Eyecolor– raspberry mousse glimpse
• Berry Flambe Eyecolor– deep violet glimmer
• Lemon Meringue Eyecolor– citrus cream glimpse
• Spiced Biscotti Eyecolor– zesty pumpkin glimmer
• Cherry Coco Truffle Eyecolor– dark cherry chocolate glimmer
• Mint Eyecolor– light spearmint glimpse
• Dark Chocolate Eyecolor– moonlit mocha glimpse
• Creme de Menthe Eyecolor– emerald espresso glimmer

The most important part, the swatches!

LOVE!  I definitely have some favorites in here– hands down, Creme de Menthe rocked my socks off!  I’m very partial to Cherry Coco Truffle and Berry Flambe too.  The chameleon-like quality of Creme de Menthe is stunning, and Cherry Coco Truffle and Berry Flambe are just those decadent, rich hues with irresistible glimmer I gravitate towards anytime they’re in my sights.

Despite these being the extra-small jars, there’s plenty to get you by for quite awhile, trust me!  If you’ve ever used a bareMinerals eyeshadow before, you know it’s got a long and happy lifespan in your casa.  I think $48 is a super fair price to pay for a set of nine limited-edition eyeshadows, especially when they’re as yummy and decadent as these are.  Included inside the candy box are three tutorials for quick & pretty eye looks, I was immediately drawn to the “Mint Chocolate Mirage” look as you can tell!

    Hi Shauna!

    I thought the paler colors would be too light too and look a little opaque– but really these rocked! You can totally rock these ;)
