I was online looking for a way to spend my Sephora VIB coupon and I ran across a new product from Bare Escentuals. The brand is now offer a product called Buxom Lash Liner AND Lash Enhancing Conditioning Treatment.
This product is very similar to MAC Fluidline (in Black track) or another version of a gel liner. More…
The difference is that this liner claims to contain a thickening conditioning agent that will help take your lashes to new volumes! Click the picture below for the full instructions of the product.

I have problem lashes. Thin, straight and almost embarrassing. So anything that tells me that it can make my lashes better without costing hundreds of dollars is something I can never pass up!
I have only used this a coupe of days, so far so I cant speak on the volume- izing benefit quite yet but as far as eyeliner performance- It is fantastic! It is a beautiful dark black color and it stays in place beautifully all day long. Below are a few comparison swatches against some other gel liners.

Buxom Leatherette, Bobbi Brown Black Ink, Urban Decay Zero, MAC Pro black creme liner swatches.

I will definitely be back with more details on the lash conditioning agent but for now I just wanted to share with you this new fabulous eyeliner swatches

Leslie Blodget. The CEO of Bare Minerals/ Escentuals. When I think of her I think QVC. She always comes across so warm and friendly. I always get drawn in to watch and listen to her speak on the products.
Recently she has started a new venture that appears to be separate from the Bare Esentuals Brand. A line of perfume called Perfume Diaries and the first in the series called Bare Skin.
I received a sample of this new perfume to test out. When I first opened the tester to smell I wasn’t really feeling the scent much at all. It was really strong and overpowering. Its so funny though once I decided to give it another try and actually put it on my skin a few days later the scent was completely transformed. It was so much softer and fresher and I actually think I am now a fan.
This product is currently being sold in Sephora online and in Sephora stores.
See below the Press Release for Bare Skin and the Perfume Diaries:

Inspired by entrepreneurial powerhouse Leslie Blodgett’s dynamic life, Leslie Blodgett Perfume Diaries is a limited edition fragrance collection, created exclusively for Sephora, that revisits and evokes pivotal moments in Leslie’s life. Having kept journals since she was a young girl, Leslie has captured the essence of every trip she has taken through the pages of her journals. With the release of its first fragrance Bare Skin on 10/08, these pages have been brought to life through scent, enabling Leslie’s ardent fans to walk a fragrant mile in her shoes.

Bare Skin, the first scent in the series, is reminiscent of an experience during a trip to Mexico, where Leslie cart-wheeled fancy-free down a sunny beach while emanating true, unbridled joy. “When I have an experience, I like to have a scent behind it. Bare Skin, which is what Mexico reminds me of, is the way you feel when the sun is beating down on you during the day, but then you go out at night and you’re still sizzling from the warmth of the day which mingles with the night air and the music.”

“Glowing, sun-kissed skin has the power to turn heads. I wanted to recreate that attractive force with notes that draw you in: creamy sensuality, caressing florals and uninhibited musk,” says Stephen Nilsen, the celebrated Givaudan perfumer who helped concoct Bare Skin. “With Bare Skin, you will find yourself basking in the sun, with your feet in the sand, after one spritz.”
