Life's a Peach!


As the Style Setter for the Mall at Rockingham Park, I'm given the unique opportunity to try out even more amazing products than I have in the past. So, I decided that I'll be sharing some of my absolute favorite things that I come across at the mall with all of my lovely readers here too!

I've always been a fan of bareMinerals, but for some reason didn't take the time to seriously sit and try out their products until now.  I was given this amazing Addicted to Peach makeup set to try and I've become crazily obsessed with it.

As you all know, I have a collection of about 547385943 makeup bags, and even more actual makeup.  There's just something about gift sets that tickle my fancy.  When I received the bag of goodies, I was already thinking about peach makeup. You know...i'm psychic like that. Plus when makeup is constantly on your mind, chances are it'll sync up with an actual trend at some point. Anyway, it's been on my radar for a while now--summertime usually always focuses in on peach and bronze products, so I was really anxious to give it a try.



In this particular set, you receive the following:


  • READY Eyeshadow 2.0 The Guilty Pleasures featuring Shh... & Yes Please (apricot nectar/cinnamon brown shimmer) 
  • Small Temptation Eyecolor (glistening nude peach) 
  • Flawless Definition Mascara in Black
  • Sweet Peach Radiance All-Over Face Color (golden peach glow) 
  • Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Stylista (vivid peach) 

Of course, the makeup bag itself is super adorable--it has kind of a golden/peach hue and is a decent size.

My fave product in the set is definitely the Sweet Peach Radiance All-Over Face Color.  It's just so pretty! The color is a nice, flattering, mid-tone peach with a slightly shimmery (not a disco party glittery) finish. It's a product that I can see myself using a lot. And because it's so highly pigmented, I know that it will last for months.

I also want to take a second to mention how much I love the Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Stylista. Even though I've admitted to owning hundreds of lip products, I've always loved this particular gloss and own it in a few different colors (I know, I know...how many G.D. lipglosses can one gal have??!) That said, this particular color was a little intimidating at first glance.  In the tube, it appears to be almost a scary bright orange color. However, on the lips, it's nice and sheer so it just gives a pretty peachy glow. It's officially made its way into my purse and I haven't gone a day without using it since trying it.

You can buy the set for $49, either at the Mall at Rockingham Park, or online. It's valued at $89, and since all the products are great, it's really a fabbity-fab idea to buy one (or five).

Another point: the upside to shopping at the mall is that the salespeople in the store are super helpful and you can give the products a little test run before purchasing them.
