bareMinerals 24-Pc. Box of Wonders Set - 24 Beautiful Surprises
Product Details
Web ID: 5016839An excellent gift for the makeup lover
So excited that I purchased this box as one of my beauty advent calendars for the Christmas season. Nicely sized products (although not full size) to keep for myself or use a stocking stuffers! A good variety of BareMinerals products including mineral veil, blushes, eye color and lip products. Hope that BareMinerals releases another box for next holiday season because I love the quality and variety of products in the box/calendar. Only downside to this beauty box/calendar was the packaging was difficult to manage and remove items easily.
The sizes are actually pretty big!
So I just purchased this box and when it arrived it was exactly as I expected because I paid attention to the product details. It clearly lists the oz for each product and you can go to the bare minerals website to compare to the full size. For example: the blushes in this kit are .02 oz each and the full size blush is only .03 oz. So is it full size? No. But it is a pretty good size. The lipsticks are about 1/3 of full size and the lip glosses are half of full size. Overall you are getting quite a bit of product for the price by weight compared to the pries of full size products. I can see how some people may be confused because in general bare minerals products, even full size, seem smaller than other brands because the product is more concentrated. You only need a little bit. Plus, this is an excellent way for people new to bare minerals to gain a lot of variety of shades. Personally I would rather have two half size lip glosses but get two different colors rather than having one full size since I don't have a favorite shade as of yet.
Bare minerals box set
The set has a number of items in it I haven't used before. I look forward to trying each one and purchasing in the future the ones I like.
Disappointed
The colors in this kit were disappointing. I was hoping for more neutrals, colors that would be versatile as small gifts for people. Returned due to color selection but others might like It.
Great idea for an advent calendar!!!!
Got three of these for the 3 ladies in my office to start December 1st-24th holiday celebration. What fun to watch them open one hidden treasure every day. Still have the rest of the secret doors to open each day until Dec. 24, but all the surprises hidden behind the doors have been good. They are travel/sample size, but a great way to find out if you like each individual product. I ordered online one for me today and will pick it up tomorrow, so I have some catching up to do! Have fun if you are lucky enough to get one for yourself or a friend.
sample sized
fun way to try several different colors and products but teeny tiny sizes
