bareMinerals The Playlist is a Top 5 Palette Hit!

posted by Liz |@beautyblkbook

 

The holidays are always filled with excitement and anticipation as beauty mavens gather at local cosmetic counters and online aisles to celebrate the launch of beautifully packaged limited edition palettes.

 

I’ve already written about my top 5 holiday palette picks over at Scottsdale Fashionista.  And now, I’m going to post my review of some of those palettes starting with bareMinerals READY 8.0 shadows in The Playlist.

 

A few months ago I stumbled upon the new READY eyeshadow formulations and have been spoiled rotten by their incredible quality – their buttery smooth texture, glorious pigmentation and blendability.

 

 

The Playlist is an 8-shadow palette made up of warm, festive shades housed in a glitzy gold mirrored compact and includes a decent brush.

 

I’m adoring the names!  But the beauty is in the shadows themselves…

 

A wonderful palette for travel and easy to carry in your purse.

 

Top Row Left to Right: Pumped, Chart Topper, Max Volume, Louder | Bottom Row Left to Right: One Hit Wonder, Most Requested, Remix, Speaker Box

 

Look at the amazing finishes!  It’s truly a dreamy palette.

bareMinerals did not skimp on quality.  I’m delighted that the quality of the shadows in The Playlist are stellar.  If you’re shopping for a beauty lover on your list – or for yourself – you’ll love this one!

 

Availability: Sephora (limited edition)
Price: $40US, .28oz

 

 5/5 Smooches: These bareMineral READY shadows are no one hit wonders!

 

 

This Week in History…

 

After doing a little research, I found the most popular hits for the week of December 14th in the year of my birth.  Here was the top 10 music lineup:

 

  1. Dominique, the Singing Nun
  2. Louie Louie, the Kingsmen
  3. Everybody, Tommy Roe
  4. I’m Leaving it Up to You, Dale & Grace
  5. You Don’t Have to be a Baby, the Caravelles
  6. Since I Fell for You, Lenny Welch
  7. Be True to Your School, the Beach Boys
  8. Drip Drop, Dion
  9. There! I’ve Said it Again, Bobby Vinton
  10. Walking the Dog, Rufus Thomas

 

The only songs I’m familiar with are Louie Louie and Since I Fell for You (so romantic).  Do you know what the top hits were from the year of your birth?  Check out this nifty View Chart Archives feature on Billboard.com to find out (it goes back to 1955).

    Hello, Would you be willing to sell me “The Playlist” used for $15? I can pay with Paypal and I am very interested even though it is used. It might even give you a headstart on purchasing the new LE palette, “The September Issue.” Thank you!

      Hi Sarah,

      The Playlist is such a pretty palette – I understand your wish to own it. I’m not ready to part with it and I do hope you find it somewhere. Have you tried calling Bare Escentuals headquarters? Every once in a while they can get their hands on a hard to find item for their customers. I can’t guarantee they’ll have it but it’s worth a try. Good luck!
