Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Pretty Amazing Lip Collection and Afternoon Distractions

I don’t know if I’ll be watching American Horror Story again next week… Come to think of it, I wish I could un-see the series premiere. I’m sitting here at my desk in the middle of a perfectly fine afternoon, and I’m freaking the eff out!

I keep looking over my shoulder, half expecting to see this dude watching me from behind.

Safe place! Safe place!

The only thing keeping me sane right now is good old-fashioned distraction, and to that end I’ve been looking at pictures of kittens, devouring Kind Bars (Almond and Coconut, of course), and checking out a few kits from the new Bare Minerals bareEscentuals holiday 2011 collection, including this cutie patootie called the Pretty Amazing Lip Collection ($28).

Have you tried any of the Pretty Amazing Lip Colors yet? If you like long-wearing liquid lip products, this limited edition kit comes with four of ’em — little minis in both sheen and glossy finishes.

I plan to try a few looks with some of the many Bare Escentuals bareMinerals holiday kits next week, but for now, here’s a quick peek at the Pretty Amazing kit, along with some swatches. 🙂

Swatches from the left: Savvy, Confidence, Sass and Oomph

Cute colors, yeah? Nothing too far out or va-va-voom! Just four solid shades for work, class or dates.

I get the feeling that these colors would work for gals of all ages — the whole extended family of ladies who love makeup, like the older aunties, the lolas, the teenagers and maybe even tweens.

PRICE: $28
AVAILABILITY: Coming soon to Bare Escentuals Boutiques, Sephora and also online.
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: B+

BTW, if you need to find me, I’ll be rocking back and forth in the corner. No more scary TV shows late at night for this girl!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen
