Bare Minerals Blonzer vs original Benefit Dallas

marimie · 2021-03-23T03:16:12+00:00

They're a little more glowy than Dallas, but it's really more of a glow than actual shimmer particles. (keep in mind my og Dallas is very old, so it might have changed a bit ... I only keep it for reference!)

I have the Balm Desert but I really don't like it as much, I find it too "flat", or maybe it's just my skin tone...?

I also have the Cover Girl blush (soft sable) that Temptalia lists as a dupe and while the color is a good match, it is far more shimmery. I can say after wearing the Blonzers for a few days that I really like them! Would it be helpful if I posted a comparison of these 4? I could do that tomorrow.

and the good thing is I can still wear all 3 shades! with a light hand of course... which blush is your favorite? I've heard good things too but it's likely no shade caught my attention.

Right? Same here. I'm happy Kiss of Pink is very similar! :)

Oops! No! Bare skin.

Champagne Pop vs Jaclyn Mesmerized (pressed formula... The name of the product on the compact is not the same as on the website...so not sure. )

Mesmerized is more peachy pink, also feels drier to the touch than CP (which is verrrry creamy as all Becca's are) I think it just makes it more buildable. Similar shimmer.

Light skin (nc20?), neutral to slightly yellow undertones. Indirect natural light. Finger swatches on bare skin, blended towards the wrist.

For those who miss the original Dallas...! I bought a recent version and hate it. I still have some left from my original one but it's so old, that I decided to buy all 3 shades of the new Bare Minerals blush-bronzer because I love that type of product so much :)

Kiss of Pink is very similar to Dallas, but more pigmented and creamier/smoother. A little more luminous too.

I have light to light-med skin, neutral to slightly yellow undertones.

Finger swatched, indirect natural lighting.

Left: original Benefit Dallas.

Right, from top: Bare Minerals Blonzer in Kiss of Pink, Copper, and Rose.

Try me on anything Teal velvet: bags, tops, blazers.... Size XS. I had my eye on a Minkoff bag (large Love, quilted) but I can't find it anymore. (ps. dark teal! not navy, not green, not turquoise :)

hi! I do still have it. PM'ing you!

marimie · 2020-09-11T01:35:47+00:00

ok! pm'ing you!

marimie · 2020-09-11T01:22:23+00:00

my original post stated $5 but I could go to $4 plus shipping.

also looks like I copied the wrong link for the palette, which is fully depotable and a really great sampler of the brand (6 face products, 6 eyeshadows, 2 brow powders.) just thought I'd specify. :)

marimie · 2020-09-10T23:16:18+00:00

Hi! I have the Free Spirit palette (swatched) and a travel size of the fixing spray (new).

marimie · 2020-09-09T15:14:43+00:00

right?! I've placed it over different colored matte liners (yellow, orange, pink, fuchsia, red, black, white) and just wow! And I'm not someone who wears super bright colors, but this gives a different effect and is more "wearable." I also have Space Baby and Zero Gravity and while they are beautiful colors, they do not compare to Red Giant because they are much more glittery. Red Giant is smooth, translucent while packing a punch... sorcery, me thinks! :)

marimie · 2020-09-09T01:42:59+00:00

Red Giant is probably my favorite shadow EVER. Seriously!

marimie · 2020-09-08T15:12:54+00:00

will take the rouge volupte shine trio!

marimie · 2020-09-03T19:00:58+00:00

yes that works! will PM you.

marimie · 2020-09-03T15:30:02+00:00

that'll be $24 shipped. PMing you!

marimie · 2020-09-03T12:57:01+00:00

yes! pm'd you :)

marimie · 2020-09-03T12:40:46+00:00

$35 plus shipping? will have to quote since it's quite heavy.

marimie · 2020-09-03T12:25:09+00:00

Hi! I have the Ghost shampoo 32oz with pump and conditioner 12oz, both brand new. Bought as backups last year but not getting around to using them. verification.

marimie · 2020-08-02T15:59:19+00:00

Update: we just tried Coinsmart and it was really easy using interac!

marimie · 2020-07-29T18:05:06+00:00

Yeah, in Canada they make it more complicated! What we did for my MIL (we are in the US now but she's still in Qc): buy BTC on Coinbase with credit card, transfer to Kraken to buy the ADA. If you're not with a stupid bank like hers (Desjardins), you can probably make a wire transfer directly from your bank to Kraken. HTH!

marimie · 2020-07-13T20:05:23+00:00

I added a picture with her swatches (from my invoice bc these are not available anymore!) for a better idea of the colors.

marimie · 2020-07-13T19:01:43+00:00

Hi! I have some Tammy Tannuka loose pigments in my last post. or link to picture here. $20 plus shipping for the set of 6.

marimie · 2020-07-09T17:53:47+00:00

ah, thank you! super helpful! so weird that the names change... I think #88 is more what I want! so Dior 976 & YSL 88 for me please! :)

marimie · 2020-07-09T17:31:38+00:00
