Bare Escentuals The Cliff Hanger Ready Eyeshadow Duo by Temptalia

The brand new Bare Minerals Ready Eyeshadows have gotten a wonderful write-up over at Temptalia, and one of our favourites, The Cliff Hanger, gained a high score of A-. The gorgeous combination of matte grey-beige and dark purple with hints of teal and silver shimmer is great for both casual everyday looks, and super smoky evening looks. “I’m a huge, huge fan of the Ready Eyeshadows.  The formula is soft, dense, and feels almost creamy, and it applies smooth as silk against the skin…” – Christina (Temptalia).
