Bare Minerals Shades of Decadence Collection - Pictures and Swatches

I picked up the Bare Minerals Shades of Decadence collection a while back and wanted to share some swatches and pics. This set is exclusive to QVC (A225833) and retails for $80.00 + tax/shipping. It has 9 loose eyeshadows, 3 small Moxie Glosses, and 3 small natural lipglosses. Some of the shades are repeats from past kits.

A portion of the insert listing the colors included:

The set comes with 9 loose eyeshadow colors. Most colors have great pigmentation. I think Brave is the most sheer as it's described as a "veil".  :

Splendid - High Shine Texture- Metallic copper

Rose Gold - Repeat - Peachy rose with gold glimmer

Atomic Plume - Plum glimmer with grayish cast

Aglow - Repeat - Gorgeous whitish pink glimmer highlight shade - would be great for inner corners

Brave - Repeat (I think) - Yellow with gold glimmer

Cypress - Forest Green with gold glimmer

Wink - Grayish Green glimmer

Glitz - Gorgeous Purple with multicolored glimmers

Gilt - Greenish yellow satin

Some pics of the shadows:

Top to bottom/left to right: Splendid, Rose Gold, Atomic Plume, Aglow, Brave, Cypress

Left to Right: Wink, Glitz, and Gilt

Now on to the lips. The set comes with 6 small lipglosses. I like these as they fit nicely in your purse or pocket and don't take up a ton of room. Great for travel. The moxie shades all have great pigmentation. The shades of the 3 moxie glosses in the kit are:

Vixen - A berry shade

Temptress - Deeper rose

Tantalizer - Gorgeous champagne nude

There are also 3 small natural lipglosses. I believe these are all repeat colors, but it's nice to have them in the smaller size for portability. These tend to be more sheer than the moxie glosses. The shades are as follows:

Starfruit - Pretty pink/peach with gold shimmer

Wearable Mauve - Really nice nude pink/brown

Raspberry Truffle - Sheer berry

Some swatches:

Top shades left to right: Natural Lipgloss in Starfruit, Wearable Mauve, and Raspberry Truffle.

Bottom shades left to right: Moxie Glosses in Vixen, Temptress, and Tantalizer

All in all this is a really nice kit. I like the variety of colors included in both the eyes and lips. It's nice that the eyeshadows are full size instead of the mini jars. I'd have to say my favorite eyecolors are the bottom three: Wink, Glitz, and Gilt. Out of the lipglosses, my favorites are Wearable Mauve, Temptress, and Tantalizer.
