Today is the first of two holiday preview events for Bare Escentuals (the second will take place on October 13). Today only, you can shop in your local boutique or online at BE.com and be one of the first to receive this year’s holiday releases. And if you’re shopping online, don’t forget to use the code OCTOBER at checkout to receive free shipping on all of your preview event purchases.
And Away We Glow Collection ($54)–this kit includes Prime Time Primer Shadow in Dove Gray, Swanky Eyecolor (new), Round the Clock Waterproof Eyeliner in Midnight (new product), Turn On Multi-Tasking Highlighter, Luxury Blush (new), Pretty Amazing Lipgloss in Flair (new), Flawless Definition Mascara in Black, Wet/Dry Shadow brush, and Contour Blush brush.
With the exception of the Turn On highlighter, which was previously available only in a mini size in a kit last year, the entire collection is brand new. The waterproof eyeliner pencil is a new product launch, and the brushes handles and ferrules are finished in a festive red color. The entire collection comes in a red box that’s perfect for gift giving.
This kit is available only on BE.com at the moment. According to my sources, this kit is actually planned to be a department store exclusive, and the boutiques will be getting their own exclusive kit in a similar configuration, but with different colors/products. (I’m awaiting confirmation on this and will post an update when I’m able to get more information on this.)
Buxom Party Central ($28)–this set of four mini Buxom lip glosses includes Alexa, Jackie, Olivia, and Katie. According to my sources this will be the last Buxom kit that will be available in the boutiques, as the entire Buxom line is now a Sephora exclusive.
Customizable Eye, Face, and Lip Cases ($39-$55)–These are always popular, and for good reason. No matter which you choose, the idea is the same–choose three eyecolors, lip products, or face products, and you get a cute little bag with them, in addition to potentially saving some money on the purchase. Choose three eyeliner pencils for example, and you’ll save $3 since they’re normally $14 each. This year the bags are red, with a zipper closure on top; each one includes an attached pull-out mirror for easy touchups on the go.
Drop Red Gorgeous Collection ($39)–includes Strength and Virtue (new) eyecolors in the regular size, a Pretty Amazing Lipcolor in Strength, a mini Big & Bright Eyeliner pencil in Charcoal, Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara in black, and a Contour Shadow brush.
Light Show Eyeliner Collection ($24)–includes three Metallic Eyeliner pencils in Orbit (frosted steel), Galaxy (icy onyx), and Comet (glazed bronze). This is my pick of the event and can’t wait to try them out.
Prime Time Face & Eye Brightening Du0 ($18)– this set includes a mini Prime Time Brightening Foundation Primer and a mini Prime Time Brightening Sunlight Eyelid Primer. The Sunlight eye primer was previously available only in the boutique-exclusive Love & Happiness collection that came out earlier this year.
