What it is:A Sephora-exclusive six-piece collection for eyes, cheeks, and lips.What it does: The Insider collection is your inside source for the newest products and hottest looks in makeup. This kit introduces Color Shift Eyecolor, a transformative shadow that smoothes on eye-catching color, then buffs out to reveal a new hue. It's an eyecolor duo in just one pot. The set features Color Shift(TM) Eyecolor in Gold & Blue, an incredible two-in-one eyecolor that can be swept on for a wash of glistening gold or buffed on to reveal a stunning blue color. Big & Bright(R) Eyeliner in Black Sea (deep teal) delivers the look of larger, more luminous eyes by visually enhancing the whites of eyes, so eyes look whiter and brighter. Flawless Definition(TM) Volumizing Mascara in Black gives lashes the ultimate volume, perfect definition, and mineral care they've been craving. Boost Blush gives a healthy-looking, beautiful bloom of color that looks natural. Natural Lipgloss in Star fruit polishes lips with pure sparkling color, while its natural oils and cupuacu butter deliver protective antioxidants and superior shine without stickiness. The Color Shift Double-Ended Brush can be used to pat gently for the first eye-enhancing shade, then to buff out makeup revealing a burst of high-contrasting color.This set contains:- 0.02 oz Color Shift(TM) Eyecolor in Gold (shifts to Blue) - 0.03 oz Blush in Boost (pink cantaloupe) - 0.33 oz Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara in Black - 0.014 oz Natural Lipgloss in Star fruit (golden pink nectar) - 0.012 oz Big & Bright Eyeliner in Black Sea (deep teal)- Color Shift(TM) Double-Ended BrushWhat it is formulated WITHOUT:- Parabens- Sulfates- Synthetic Fragrances- Synthetic Dyes- Petrochemicals- Phthalates- GMOs- TriclosanWhat else you need to know:To achieve the Gold/Blue Color Shift Eye Look:-First, start off by applying the eye shadow to your crease line or eyelids by buffing it out.

To apply the shade you see in the jar:-Lightly pat a small amount of Color Shift Eyecolors onto the bristles of your brush.-Gently tap away excess product.-With the larger end of the Color Shift Brush, gently pat color on with small, continuous motions, moving gradually across your eyelid from the inner to outer corner.-To reveal the "hidden shade," simply use the smaller end of the brush to buff the areas where you want rich, high-contrast color.See bareMinerals Insider(TM) Introducing Color Shift(TM) Eyecolor in action

This was a tough kit to get use too

Quick Take: good value
I love this kit, but I still have a really had time getting use to the eye shadow in it. You really have to take your time with it. I love wearing the color turquoise, but the eye shadow doesn't go on like it really shows on it the kit. I really love the brush, lip color, eye liner. They are very pretty colors. I love how easily the eye liner glides on.

Enjoyable!

Quick Take: good value
The eye color does work as stated, however; if you have hooded eyes or touch your eyes it will turn blue where the skin folds when blinking. I have had zero issue with it turning blue where I don't want it. I did accidentally rub below my eyebrow and it turned blue so I had to rub the other side. This shadow is absolutely gorgeous!
The blush is my new HG blush! I love it more than any Nars, Benefit, BE, or Too Faced blush I own. This alone made the kit worth it to me.
The mascara is nice, but I have a ton of mini's of other kinds too so I really could have cared less if it was included.
The lipgloss is wonderful and really compliments the look.
The eyeliner was surprising because I love it so much. I actually don't have a color like it and I have been using it every day. It stays put all day.
The brush is wonderful and I have been using it even with other make-up. It's a really wonderful brush that is a nice addition to my brush collection.

nice package of goodies. The eye shadow is interesting, pretty colors. Blush is a nice natural shade, lip gloss is a pretty light pink, with a nice shine. The eye liner is a great color of very dark purple/navy.

Returned it
-04.01.13
Bought it specifically for the eyeshadow, but couldn't get it to "work" as advertised. It went on blue & stayed blue.
The other components of the set, however, I liked very much and almost considered keeping it for them. But in the end, $50 for yet another black mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss...... mmm nope!

Better Than Expected
-03.15.13
Quick Take: good value
When I recieved all of my products, this was the first item I wanted to try out. I dont know why everyone was complaining about it. It is AMAZING!!! I watched the tutorial video on how to apply the eyeshadow, and it was spot on.
It is very easy to apply (patting/dabbing on so the gold stays gold), and have the gold showing, and then give a slight brush to bring out the blue. I would have to say that the one bummer is that by the end of the night, all of the eyeshadow ends up blue, so it changes during the usage.
Hope this helped.

I was very happy with the color tones of the blush/lipstick. Add the color shift eye shadow & you will surprise yourself with the different looks you can achieve.

Great preview
-03.10.13
Quick Take: good value, travel size, nice quality, long lasting
This was the first set I got from bareminerals and I really like it. I've had it since the nee year and I still have lots more! (It doesn't run out quickly) I use the blush, mascara, and lip gloss daily. The blush is a perfect blend for my skin tone and adds a nice glow. My mascara actually came in full size! It holds volume and color all day and never smears/flakes. The lip gloss is just amazing, it sticks nice and the nude/shiny, light pink looks really nice. The two sided brush is pretty cool, I'd say the buffing end is nicer and the flat end is kinda rough, but it's quality. The star product isn't my favorite, only because the blue it turns into isn't a very good look for me or good for school, but I did find a way to put it on gold, although it transforms quickly to silver then bright blue. I don't regret getting this kit and I suggest others to try it!

Dab, not glide for best results!
-02.01.13
Quick Take: good value
I've read a number of negative reviews and think the problem is application. You *cannot* apply this shadow like your normal eye color. If you do as the directions say and literally *dab* the color onto your lid it will stay goldish. The moment you drag it across your eye it turns blue. This is the entire concept behind the color shift idea. You must also use a light hand or it can get very dark.
All that said, it took me some trial and error to get it right, and now I've very happy with it and can't wait for more colors from bM! The eye liner is fantastic, and I really like the cheek color. I don't normally use anything on my lips, but it is a nice peachy color. The mascara is great as well. I am very happy with the product.

Love these products!
-01.30.13
Quick Take: good value, colors go well together
I really like all of the products that come with this kit. I have fair skin and hazel eyes, and the eyeliner and eyeshadow really make them pop. A lot of people complain about the eyeshadow, however I think it works great. I use an eyeshadow base before I apply it, and gently tap it on over my lids. If you use too much or tap your brush into it too hard, it will turn blue. Use a light hand! I think the color it turns to is really pretty; it's like a shimmery silver blue, but still subtle enough. The cheek and lip color are both a peachy pink, and go with the aqua-ish eye look really well. This may not be great for an everyday look, but whenever I wear it out I get compliments.

let down
-01.14.13
I was very excited to try the color shift eyecolor. I had been to Sephora multiple times and each time sales reps told me to try it. I finally decided to try it and I am disappointed. No matter how I put the eye shadow it always turns solid blue. I really liked the concept, but it doesn't seem to work as well as the sales reps said. I do not think I will be purchasing the Color Shift products again. I like the eyeline, lip gloss and mascara that came with the kit. But I purchased it for the eye shadow. :(

I was excited to use the color shift eyeshadow but it did not deliver! Gold? what gold??? as soon as you apply it it just turns blue right away. Everything else is good except for the eyeshadow!

The multi-color eye shadow doesn't work!
-11.28.12
I LOVE bareMinerals and everything in this kit is great EXCEPT the eyeshadow. It is supposed to change color when you smudge it so you can brush on a gold shimmer and just smudge the outer corners of your eyes to make it turn blue. Well, maybe I "smudge" all the time because my shadow, while it looked golden in the case, turned very, very blue all over my eyelid. I looked like 1985 gone horribly awry.

wish the eyeshadow was easier!
-11.20.12
I adore the lipgloss, liner, and brush, but the "star product" didn't perform like I expected. Though the model appears to have both gold and blue tones from the eyeshadow, I found that even the lightest application turned the shadow silver blue--no buffing required. When I did buff, the color deepened to a beautiful cerulean. However, I was hoping for more flexibility with this shadow, and am disappointed that I can't get it to look gold.

Not liking the blue...
-11.14.12
Quick Take: good value
I love everything in this set except the Color Shift Eyecolor. The blue is not a pretty blue, its a blue that you might wear to an 80's theme birthday party. Horrible. Luckily the lip gloss, blush, mascara and eyeliner make up for it. I also really like the brush, I just wont use it with that eyecolor.

I got itchy!
-11.13.12
Loved everything for about an hour, then my eyes, cheeks and lips started itching! Removed it all and didn't use any makeup for a week. Tried again and had the same reaction! Wonder if the formulation has changed for all the products? I have seasonal allergies, but have never had problems w/BE products in the past. Had to return it all:(

Quick Take: good value
I just recently switched to BareMinerals. This kit was a total departure from the colors I normally wear for most items, but I have received so many compliments on how great I look when wearing them. The eyeshadow is a bit tricky. I have found that using only a teeny tiny bit on the brush helps a lot. Get barely any on your brush and then tap most of that off. Lightly blot it on your eye. Go back and buff where you want blue. The liner is so smooth to apply. The blush and mascara are good and really colors I've always worn. The lip gloss is so light is barely noticeable and I normally wear darker shades but its the kind of thing anyone could easily wear.

I was able to pick up this insider kit for an amazing $8 at my local Sephora & I fell in love. Beautiful colors & amazing textures. Had to run back & pick up the last box after trying the mascara, I LOVE this set & LOVE the price! :)
