The Beauty Cabana

Bare Escentuals has done it again! I’ve come to expect amazing products and color collections from them and this is yet another slam dunk. The colors are bold, fun and fresh for summer. What’s even better? Sold exclusively at Sephora, the Siren of the Sea Collection has been dropped $10 in price making it just $39!




The set includes:

• 0.02 oz bareMinerals High Shine Sand Dune (gilded sand, high shine)
• 0.02 oz bareMinerals Mermaid Eyecolor (dark blue-green velvet)
• 0.02 oz bareMinerals Hydrating Coral Blush (coral dusk)
• 0.07 oz bareMinerals Hydrating Mineral Veil (brightening finish)
• 0.14 oz bareMinerals 100% Natural LipGloss in Chiffon (nude sand)
• Double-Ended Hydrate & Brighten Duo Brush with Custom Bamboo Handle
• Straw Clutch

The eye colors have just the right amount of shimmer without being teeny bopper glittery and the hydrating blush feels like silk on my cheeks. The BE 100% lip glosses have become one of my must-haves this summer and the shade included in this kit (Chiffon) is fantastic.

The straw clutch included with the kit is what truly takes it all over the top for me. I carry it as a purse rather than a makeup case and get constant compliments. It’s the perfect size for holding basic essentials and some BE for the road.

I do have 2 small issues with the set. I’m not crazy about the brush in the set. The end for eyes is great and the bristles are very soft, but the fuller end isn’t very full and doesn’t do a great job in applying blush or mineral veil. The other thing I’m not crazy about is the hydrating mineral veil. I know some people swear by it. It does go on very smooth and feels great on the skin. For me, it just doesn’t do as great a job of controlling shine and concealing pores as the original mineral veil.
