BareMinerals’ Women of BE kit

This is a good kit for people who don’t have many BE eyecolors and want them, or for people who missed the Girlfriends, Beautiful Susan, and the various Starlets when they hit the outlets. I am fortunate in that…I already own all but one of these colors. I’m almost surprised that BE didn’t include the Wild Women colors in this kit…but they were probably focused on keeping the price point down to under USD$100; and including those four additional colors would have pushed it just above that mark.

One important thing to note: these are all minis (.01 ounce). Some people have strong feelings about whether they want mini (.01 oz / .28 gr) or fullsize (.02 oz / .57 gr) jars. At full price of $89, that works out to $4.45 per jar - which is a good price. Still, if you have a majority of these colors, this might be something you can gracefully pass by. (Other ideas: buy the kit, break it up and create several "stocking stuffers" for friends or relatives.) Right now (October 2010) this kit is available for just under $80, and on Easy Pay (three installments of about $28, when you factor in shipping and handling.)
