bareMinerals Glamour Now

Let me preface this by saying that parts of this kit aren't available...but I love this set so much, that I want to introduce you to some of these products if you haven't tried them before!
the bareMinerals Glamour Now set is a gorgeous kit that retailed for $61 and a new iteration of this will be available on QVC in the coming months (with different colors).
I love the rose gold packaging, which is so in right now...but the products really steal the show here.
First off...I can't rave enough about the Marvelous Moxie formula lip gloss. They taste like Andes mints! If you do not know what those are...please find them and eat a whole bag, okay?
Plus, the staying power is amazing. Dazzler, included in this set, is not currently available, but Party Starter is a really close alternative!

This is a sheer peach with lots of sparkle; it doesn't come off as immature, but rather plumps up lips. 

I love the bareMinerals Ready 4.0 palettes, and the one included here is called The Main Event.



Celebrate is a matte cream, but not much pigmentation.
Ball Gown is a pretty rose gold and is super buttery.
Cheers is a gilded grey with a bit of olive. Really unique!
Stiletto is a show stopper. A shimmery reddened plum.


There was also a really cool double-sided liner with a brown pencil and a black felt tip, called Smoke and Define, which makes lining your eyes really easy. I hope this comes out as part of the permanent line!

A full size Lash Domination was also included. I have not previously tried this. The brush is almost helix-like and very big. The formula is very black, but to me, its just an average mascara.


There are three face colors in this set, which I loved. One is a Ready Luminizer called The Magic Moment, which is very close in color to the Ready Luminizer Duo bareMinerals has in their permanent line.



I love this rose gold color and the luminosity of it! Totally in love!

The other two face colors are the loose powder formula bareMinerals became famous for.



Brightening Pearl is a Mineral Veil and Glamour is a traditional blush. Both are very pretty. I love the highlighting Mineral Veil and the staying power of the blushes...these colors aren't available but I highly recommend the formula. They are just sheer enough so you never look overdone.

I used to be a full-fledged bareMinerals girl but then I got bored and moved onto other things. With kits like these, the brand has recaptured my attention!

Here's a look I created with everything in the kit!



My recommendations? Pick up a Ready 4.0 shadow palette, they are all so pretty! And definitely pick yourself up a Marvelous Moxie gloss!

    1. HAHA Blowy. That could maybe work, like I look all wind-blown and flushed or something. I'm gonna make it a word. :)

    1. Usually the kits from QVC turn into the permanent line, so I am crossing my fingers it will. I may need a backup of that palette!

  8. I agree with you. This rose gold packaging is definitely beautiful. I like it more than MAC Rihanna Rose Gold packaging. So, did you purchase this one from QVC? ULTA also has its own version of this collection. The shades are different I think, not sure. I wanted to get the ULTA version lipstick, but it is too shimmery. The 4.0 shadows are great quality.
