bareMinerals Spring 2013 Makeup Collection — It’s the Remix, Baby!

Last fall, when makeup brand  bareMinerals released its first collection of pressed eyeshadow  duos and quads, I was  floored by the intensity of the colors in the range and their lustrous finishes, which were consistent with the high quality established by their loose pigment predecessors, but I was particularly relieved to find these stunning eye shadows in a pressed form that proved both portable and mess-free (as most of us know, the “buff, tap, and swirl” technique wasn’t exactly conducive to cleanly vanity tables or bathroom counters).

Be a Makeup Alchemist with OCC Makeup’s Metallurgy Lip Tar Collection

If you’ve ever read novels set in ancient times and shrouded in mysticism — among them Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s 100 Years of Solitude — you’ve likely wondered about the dreamers whose life’s work was devoted to finding such treasures as the elixir of life and who strove to transform common metals like lead into gold, not simply to revel in the riches that the latter feat would accomplish but to achieve a spiritual transformation as a result of this metal transmutation process.
