Ahhh BE, how you keep me on your hook, I think your are my longest running make-up love. I first tried the foundation maybe 13 years ago? And have consistently returned to it after trying various liquids, creams and even other mineral foundations. I love the foundation for the coverage, the glow and most importantly I never feel like I am wearing anything on my face.
Walking into a Boutique is better than any candy store and seeing the wheels of shadow and blushes dancing under the strategically placed lighting is truly close to nirvana. However BE, you are good and I mean really good at making one believe that having 100 shades of brown is a good thing, especially since each one is just a bit different and like a Pokemon you gotta catch them all. I vowed last year to only buy what is unique and special and downsized the collection in a ruthless purge. At the end of 2010 I placed BE on injured reserve I am sure sometime in the future it will be called back to play but for know I will simply enjoy what I have.
Now pick your absolute favorites.
The foundation of course and not pictured.
The Key West Collection- Key Lime, Sundress and Ocean. Love, love, love this trio an absolute summer perfection of an eye.
The Pussycat eyes collection - The most glorious sultry smoky eye, Meow,Catwoman, and Pussycat.
Tulip, I chose this color by pinching my cheeks and telling them this is the color I want and Tulip was that exact color, cheek perfection.
I will admit that BE does collections like nobodies business and they are generally a true bang for your buck and the least assuming and on paper most boring turned out to be my most favorite... the Ultimate Grand collection from 2010. This collection was based on matte and glimmer and every time I use the colors I am blown away by how amazing they are - Secret Radiance, Exhilarate Blush, Cranberry Sorbet and Spritzer Glosses, Willow and Pashmina Shadows, each in a matte as well as a glimmer texture.
Finally the Laura Does London Buxom collection - Do I want London a baby pink lipstick or Laura a fuchsia gloss or both together for lip perfection? Yes, please!
