BE-Back Mountain....A Love Story

I first got into Bare Escentuals back in 1998/99 when  I saw it on QVC, at that time it was it just a kit with two foundations a brush and I think Warmth, I don't even think it was a full hour show. Anyways I really liked it and as time went by and more colors for the eyes and cheeks and lips were introduced I started to amass a nice little collection...There was a period of time that all I used was BE with the exception of mascara and lipstick/gloss but then I was over it and got rid of most of it except my most favorite colors...Last November I got sucked back in by the collaboration between BE and Honora pearls and although there are 4 kits in the series, so far I only have the first kit, I do have high hopes for the 4th kit...Last time BE was on QVC I got the ReThink kit which as I said I was very happily surprised by and I also broke down and got the San Francisco kit....


The SF kit is on the left and I could not love it anymore from the Golden Gate blush to the Cable Car and North Beach shadows to the Sourdough lipgloss it is simply a lovely lovely collection and the colors create a beautiful face. They are soft but still not horribly boringly neutral...I wish the gloss showed the pink iridescence that is shot thru it...On the right are Aztec Gold and Treasure Island that I received in a swap,they are from the Castaway collection....Treasure Island is an amazing green/bronze shade that I just love...I don't think I will ever completely quit BE and as long are there are colors that thrill me I will gladly continue my affair....
