bareMinerals Degrees of Dazzling Set Review
A while ago Ulta Beauty was having a sale on bareMinerals and I picked up the bareMinerals Degrees of Dazzling Set. I’d seen a look done by Leesha that convinced me it was a must have when I saw it on sale.

All eyeshadows swatched on Coastal Scents Step One Primer. I prefer to swatch on primer because I have very oily eyelids and I NEVER wear eyeshadow without primer.

My Thoughts
If you like 5 or more of these shadows, I would say go for it! It’s such a great variety of colors. I fell in love with so many of the shades! Rose Gold is a perfect rose gold. Stay Golden is a beautiful gold. Pewter is a lovely metallic. Strawberry Mousse has lovely golden glimmers. Silver Dollar is such a light, bright shade. Golden Pear would make a great lid shade. Iridescent Iris is beautiful (I’ve got an upcoming video tutorial with it). Starry Night is a stunning deep purple with gold glimmers. Yoga is a lovely burgundy. I really like the textures and colors of Charcoal, Nude, Mauve and Emerald.
Pros
- Great color variety
- Good texture, pigmentation and blendability
- Amazing deal if you can find it on sale like I did (check the bareMinerals website)
- Cruelty Free
Cons
- Limited Edition
What do you think of the bareMinerals Degrees of Dazzling Set? See any must have shades?
the look is lovely and i do like at least 5 shades but i promised myself no more loose powder. it’s just such a hassle
Totally enabled this purchase and got it on sale too! Wohoo!
I need Deep Sea! Love the eye look!
I LOVE this eye look you did and I’m dying over those matte shades too!
Wow, what a great deal. Great job on your shadow!
I’ve been wanting these forever, since they went on sale, I was hoping they would on Sephora, but no luck. Perhaps I’ll just bite the bullet and pick them up on the Bare Minerals site.
I love the golden pear color…gorgeous.
I’m crazy about the eye look you created. Can’t wait to see more! 🙂
I found that even with my regular lid primer, these faded terribly on me! What are some tips to get them to stick? The colors are so lovely.
I just use Too Faced Shadow Insurance or Urban Decay Anti-Aging Eyeshadow Primer potion. They wore well for me, no fading.
ohhh so pretty, I need to get Iridescent Iris, it looks gorgeous.
thank you! I really liked that one
Iridescent Iris and Pewter are so me!
they are lovely!
You got a steal of a bargain! I love bareminerals shadows more and more!
I really love the variety!
Strawberry Mousse looks amazing!!
For that price, it was a steal! I should be stalking ULTA online and give Sephora a break.
These are beautiful, love your swatches!
$49 is an outstanding price on this set! Love the sneak peek at the eye look.
These are gorgeous! Starry Night is so pretty. Great makeup look, too.
Loving these colors, they are so vivid and pigmented!
LOVE that eye look! I loved to see one with Deep Sea and Strawberry Mousse, as well 🙂
GORGEOUS!
These are beautiful. I especially like Iridescent Iris and Rose Gold
