QVC November 7th Bare Escentuals TSV - Beautiful in Pearls

Every November Bare Escentuals has a QVC TSV with the option of Auto Delivery for roughly $46. This years installment is a collaboration with Honora. All of the items (besides the mascara and new eye liner) are infused with pearl powder (maybe the left overs from drilling holes in pearls!), a Honora necklace inspired by this kit became the TSV extra as well as matching bracelets. There will be a Honora TSV later this month that will have the matching earings and Beautiful in Pearls Body Minerals as their TSV extra (you can see more on that from, Becky, another BE devotee!) I can't wait for the body minerals. I've never owned body minerals and these look worth owning!

Nordstrom Clinique GWP November '09

Gift With Purchases are usually nothing to talk about let alone blog
about but for once, this is an amazing GWP! I usually buy my
Clinique Take the Day Off Balm during the GWP event to try new products.

Onto the pictures!

I didn't use the mascara (BE Flawless Definition in Espresso)
and I used Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Espresso (
other alternatives are BE Bark or Root)

I used the top right color on my lid, bottom right in the crease/V/blended
halfway over lid, bottom left color used to deep the crease/V and the
top left color to highlight on brow and inner lid. These were really
nice and no fall out! The lipstick lasts quite a while and
applying it with a lip brush really helps you to choose how much
or how little color you want.

So what do you think?
