Bed of Roses from BFTE is a Romantics Dream

Hi all!  First I want to say I will have a ton more new posts coming this week.  Between Diablo 3 and two toddlers hell bent on one uping each other with weird infectious ailments, I just have not had time to blog proper.  But rest assured, I am here, working away and I plan to have a great giveaway sometime soon, so stay tuned!

Today's review is one of Beauty From the Earth "Get the Look" Mini Sets.  These are 3 to 4 piece full sized shadow sets that cost anywhere from $18 (3) to $24 (4).  I've had my heart set on trying the Bed of Roses set, so tada!

First, I gotta get this out of the way, while I love all these colors, they look nothing like the colors shown on the website.  I am bummed because that warm green I see on Pricked is the whole reason I bought this.  I am still looking to find a shade similar to that.  All that being said, these are gorgeous colors.  Also, shocking declaration time.  I finally have to admit I am super sucky at identifying the color of sparkles in shadow.  I just blow, so unless it is painfully obvious, I am just going to say sparkles.  Cool?

A La Rose

A La Rose is a satiny warm terracotta with a slight pink shift to it.  Just a hint of sparkle.


Pricked

 Pricked is a satin slightly yellow sage green with sparkle.


Sugar Coated

Sugar Coated is a shimmery baby pink/peach with moderate sparkles. 

Final Thoughts
While I am sad the colors varied so greatly from the pots on the website, I found these all to be rich, pigmented easy to use and truly lovely shades.  "Get the Look" Mini Sets are a great way to add a few full sized products to your wardrobe.  The colors in Bed of Roses are limited and not available as individuals.  They must be purchased in this set.

Where to Buy: Beauty From the Earth
Price: $18.00 for 3 full sized shadows

  1. These are gorgeous colors, although I don't know that I'd personally get much use out of the green. I'd love to see a look with these three shades if you do one!
