Bare Escentuals Ready 8.0 Palette - The Playlist - Photos and Swatches

I've been really loving the new formula of the Bare Escentuals Ready shadows. I think having Bare Escentuals Shadows in pan form makes getting ready in less time so much better. So, when they new Ready 8.0 palettes were available during the last preview night, I took advantage and picked up the Playlist palette.

The holiday palettes come in a gold case. So pretty.

The palette does not disappoint. As with all the Ready shadows, these glide on like butter and have great pigmentation. Now for some closeups of the shadows.

Overall, this is a warm palette. There are two 8.0 palettes coming out for the holiday season. The other palette is more on the cool side. Something about the colors palette of the playlist one above drew me in though.

These Ready shadows are just fantastic. I've got quite a few of them in my arsenal and have been using them all last month. In fact, they will be one of the items I'm including in my October Favorites list which I will be posting soon.

The size of the shadows are slightly smaller than the size you get in the regular duos and quads. However, they are not small by any means. Don't throw away the little slip that is included in the box without checking it out. It includes three different look suggestions using the colors in the palette.

If you haven't tried out the Ready shadows, but are intrigued by the concept, I think the 8.0 palettes are a great way to experiment with them. Just pick your color palette preference, cool or warm, and you'll get 8 great shadows that can be combined in a number of ways.
