bareMinerals Degrees of Dazzling Swatches 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.

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.

  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. For that price, it was a steal! I should be stalking ULTA online and give Sephora a break.
