Buxom Kit: Samantha's Smoky Eye

I am in love with the new kit by Bare Escentuals- The fabulous Buxom Samantha's Smoky Eye Kit has everything that you need for the perfect smoky eye and nude lip look.

This kit includes the Big & Healthy Lip Polish in Samantha (seductive nude), Smoky Eye Stick in Smokin' Pistol (smoky coal),  Buxom Smoky Eye Brush, and Buxom Lash Mascara in Blackest Black. All of these products are in full size too, making this an even better deal! 

To review each product in the kit: First, I have been using the Buxom Lash Mascara for quite some time now, and I absolutely ADORE it. It darkens, lengthens, and thickens lashes and is flake free for 12 hours! The hour-glass shaped applicator brush is definitely the trick- It gets rid of all the clumps that often form when putting on mascara. The results that I have gotten with this Buxom Lash are amazing- I truly can not live a day without it.

The Big & Healthy Lip Polish in Samantha is such a flattering color. This seductive and super trendy nude lip color will become a staple in your makeup routine. This lip polish has an infusion of Vitamins A and E to keep lips super soft, smooth, and protected. This lip polish creates a more plump and full look, while maintaining sheen without any stickiness. This gloss is truly fabulous for both day and night makeup looks, and especially looks amazing with a smoky eye, of course! 

This is my new favorite way to make a fabulously perfect smoky eye- the Buxom Smoky Eye Stick can actually be used in three different ways. You can use this stick to shadow your eye, as an eyeliner, and as an easy smoky eye creator (works best with help of the Smoky Eye Brush). This stick is waterproof, which helps it stay put and smudge proof all night long. 

The fabulous Smoky Eye Brush is a necessity for smoking your eyes to perfection. This tapered, bullet-tip brush was specifically designed by Buxom for use with the 3-in-1 Smoky Eye Stick, to line, shadow, and smoke out your eyes. 

How to get the perfect smoky eye with the Smoky Eye Stick and the Smoky Eye Brush:
The Buxom Method: How to Use your Smoky Eye Stick 3-in-1 Shadow, Line & Smoke
1. Gently brush the Smoky Eye Brush against the eye stick tip, then sweep color back and forth on the lid near the lash line and into crease.
2. Line the lash line with the pointed tip (includes built-in sharpener).
3. Soften the edges with brush to get down and smoky.

Research results:
In clinical trials of Buxom Lips:
-86% of women experienced an immediate increase in lip fullness.
-75% of women felt that moisture in their lips increased.
-96% of women were satisfied with the overall improvement in the their lips.
In clinical trials of Buxom Lash:
-Lashes increased 300% in volume.


As you can see, this kit is totally worth every penny- I promise you will love all of the products!

A New Twist to an Old Favorite

Ok, I am officially OBSESSED!! Awhile ago I posted about my favorite mascara ever- Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash mascara in black. It is such a sultry mascara that really pumps up the volume of your lashes, and is one of the most essential products in my day-to-day makeup regime. Well, ladies, just when I thought it couldn't get any better, IT DID! Bare Escentuals has come out with a new twist to my favorite mascara: Introducing the Buxom Lash Mascara Special Effects Blue Noir.

I am usually an 'all black' type of girl when it comes to my makeup (and clothing a lot of times hehe)- I always use black mascara and black liner- so switching from my usual pure black to a fierce bright blue was completely out of my makeup comfort zone. However, I took a risk and purchased this product at my local Sephora, not sure how much I was going to like it. I love the original black mascara and all products from the Bare Escentuals Buxom line, so I figured I couldn't go wrong. After being able to use it myself, I seriously couldn't be happier with the look it gives me!

You can go back to my previous post to read about how amazing the original Buxom lash mascara is (Click Here: Fab-YOU-lous: My Secret to Perfect Lashes) This Blue Noir mascara is exactly the same formula as the original black Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash that I love so much- It gives you big, thick, clump-free and flake-free lashes.

The fabulous color is where the Special Effects Blue Noir differs from the original- This blue color may look scary at first on the brush, but once you apply this to your lashes you will be so excited with the results you achieve. The blue is not as bright as it looks at all, actually it is not even close to it- the color is quite subtle, and does wonders on your eyes- it makes your eyeballs look incredibly white and big! You can layer the Blue Noir on alone (trust me it is VERY subtle blue and you can't notice unless you're up close); But if it scares you a bit, you can always put a coat of black on first then layer a few coats of the Blue Noir on top- this will give you an even more barely noticeable blue hint to your lashes.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with this mascara- I adore this color, and I hope you do too if you try it out- You won't regret it!

Verdict= FABULOUS!!! (5/5 stars)

You can purchase the Bare Escentuals Buxom lash mascara in Blue noir at Sephora stores or Bare Escentuals stores.
