If you told me this day was coming, the chances are I wouldn’t have ever believed you until I heard it directly from Bare Escentuals. Well…I have. This fall, bareMinerals will release duos and quads of SOLID eyeshadows! That’s right, the loose natural mineral eyeshadow experts are venturing into uncharted bareMinerals territory with these, and they sound very promising…
In October, they’ll launch bareMinerals Ready Eyeshadows—which promise to be creamy, smooth, high-performance, and extremely blendable. If you’ve read any of my bareMinerals eyeshadow reviews over the years, you know I herald the original loose mineral shadows for being the same great things! So I have to say, I’m extremely excited for the introduction of these—perhaps they’ll encourage anyone who isn’t fond of working with loose shadows to give their new solid eyeshadows a chance. But, get this—the new bareMinerals Ready Eyeshadows boast some new, added benefits.
From bareMinerals:
Created through a unique cold-pressed method, we’ve combined our proprietary SeaNutritive Mineral™ Complex – composed of positively-charged sea minerals extracted from nutrient-rich algae and seaweed – with powerful antioxidants, cold-pressed borage oil, caffeine and cucumber. Our solid concentrate delivers potent anti-aging benefits including depuffing and antioxidant protection for a softer, smoother, revitalized eye area. It looks like a powder but feels like a cream with a non-drying formula that delivers a beautifully smooth application of vibrant long-wearing color plus incredible skin-renewing benefits.
They’ve also remained true to their commitment of providing the purest product they can; bareMinerals Ready Eyeshadows are made without any parabens, binders, fillers, or synthetic chemicals. And while I’m tempted to keep calling them “pressed” shadows, I’m going to try to break myself and call them “solid”. That’s going to be a hard habit for me to break!
This isn’t your average eyeshadow. It may look like a pressed shadow, but it’s not. We pioneered a way to create solid minerals and vibrant color while preserving all the powerful skin benefits of sea minerals that are lost through conventional pressing methods.
Expect these solid shadows in October 2011; available in duos (Ready 2.0 for $20), and quads (Ready 4.0 for $30). You can also expect that I’ll be posting these the second I get them in my hot little hands for all the world to see, because as a bareMinerals Girl, I’ll be counting down the days.
