bareMinerals Light Show for Holiday 2012 Swatches & Review
Isn’t the photo above awesome? I really love it 
Anyway what is this object de gorgeousness I am photographing? It’s the new bareMinerals Light Show for the holiday season.
LightShow is a large sized gold palette that features four eyeshadows, a blush, a bronzer, an eyeliner, a lipgloss, two applicators, a huge mirror and a gold glittery bag!
The back shows you all the goodies inside and the names.
Spotlight, Flash, Flicker, Dazzle (over primer)
First let me say these eyeshadows are excellent. They are soft, extremely pigmented and just really nice. Nothing cheap or chalky here folks.
Spotlight is a vivid vanilla white shimmer.
Flash is a medium/deep plum/brown matte.
Flicker is a metallic deep taupe.
Dazzle is a deep sea-green shimmer.
The Limelight, The High Dive, Super Power, 10 PM
The Limelight is a medium matte pink blush. Nice shade and pigmentation.
The High Dive is a medium slightly shimmery golden colored bronzer. I like it because it’s not TOO pigmented so you don’t have to worry about initially getting too dark. You can slightly build it up.
Super Power is a pale shimmery peach with a bent sponge applicator. It smells a little peppermint-y.
10 PM is a deep chocolate brown liner with tiny sparkles. Felt creamy and easy to apply. Nice shade just don’t use on inner rims!
Overall: A lot of times these larger holiday palettes don’t seem to deliver on the quality of the products inside. But I have to say, I am really impressed with bareMinerals once again. The eyeshadows are really nice, and everything else was good as well. The only downside I see is that it’s slightly bulky to travel with, but at least it’s very lightweight.
Availability: Bare Escentuals (now on sale) or Beauty.com.
Pricing: $39-54 depending on where you purchase.
What do you think about Light Show? See anything here that makes you want this set?

The palette is great! the packaging is gorgeous, too. I’m loving the eyeshadows and the blush, those are all my favourites colours! The bronzer, I’d have passed and same thing about the lipgloss and eyeliner.

SOOO pretty!!! I love the first photo too. Flash is such a lovely shade and the bronzer looks great – plus it’s a nice basic matte for shading the crease too. I personally would probably prefer just more eyeshadows rather than all the extras (applicators, lipgloss, eyeliner) BUT I think it’d be more appealing to someone who doesn’t already have an absurd amount of lip glosses and eyeliner (although, lets be real, I have an absurd amt of eyeshadow too). May I just add, I really like that they put the tube of lipgloss in the palette, rather than trying to put it in a pan.

I love the colors of the blush/bronze/gloss/eyeliner. Maybe it’s just me, but they don’t really seem to go with the eye shadows, though.

Really like, the eye shadows especially. The packaging is also nice. I like how the shades are labelled on the bottom with the matching colors. Seems like a good price and I’m already familiar with the ready shadows good quality…
I love the palette, and the first photo of you taking the photo, hehe!
