Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves

[Twinkle_Twinkle]

I am all about Bobbi Brown lately and keep checking this thread for new posts. I also recently picked up Velvet Plum eye shadow, Coral and Bahama Brown blushes (and one sales lady initially thought Coral would be too light, but it is gorgeous, and this is why I don't listen to SA half of the time, but she was nice..I digress) and my Brownie Shimmerbrick arrived today (thanks again TISH1127!). I'm in love with all of my new products.

I recently got my Shimmerbrick love back and used the beige one as a highlight with Blooming, Petticoat and So Ceylon.

Black Plum is the only e/s I have from Bobbi Brown but I haven't used it for a while though.

I wore Tawny yesterday for the first time in months to church and I must say it has moved to the top of my Shimmer Brick list...I'm gonna paste a fotd this week wearing it

And the Nude Lip and Eye Palette ----HEAVEN!!!

Woohoo! Church make up! I always love seeing what other girls wear to their religious services. Can't wait to see it, Tish.

It gives just a light soft brown gold highlighted shimmer....I wore it on top of Sweet as Cocoa

I'm wearing Bahama Brown with Sweet As Cocoa, not quite as much color as I would have liked, but nice. And now and I am off to my Employee Holiday Party!

I like Spice too. It's a little darker than Tawny with a bit more color. Works well for deeper skin tones.

Dangit, I got my Peony recently and tried to use it but it's way too bright on my NC30 skin.. I'll give it a few more gos with a lighter hand but I'm sad.

Try it on top of your darker blushes....I always thought it appeared to be very pink for lighter skin...But what do I know.....

Re: Bobbi Brights Collection

It is now available on the BB website & Neiman's and in store at Nordstrom's & Bloomingdale's (at least here in NYC).

Has anyone checked this palette? Bobbi Brown Cosmetics :: Bobbi Brights Eye Palette

Oh if only we had USA prices

 

[sexychefva804]

I saw it at Nordstrom. The MA said it can be used for a wash of color over the eye. I am curious about it however I have full size colors of dupes by MAC. Also I have never been able to place one bright color on my lid without adding something else for depth.
Cute concept and a bit out of the box for BB, I took a double take when I saw it on display. OMG BB the queen of neutrals doing palettes of color! I am going to swatch it today to see if those colors have good pigmentation.
While I'm thinking bout it, has Runway beauty predicted that we only need a splash of color on our eyes for spring? That could be the motivation behind this palette. Anywhoo I'm rambling.....

Here is a real photo of it; the e/s are smaller than a dime, but I couldn’t help myself, it’s too cute.

 

[mustardgirl]

I just saw the brights eye palette online but I am curious about the pigmentation? If anybody can put up swatches I'd be so grateful =) Ms. Z thanks so much for the photo - I can't believe how tiny the eyeshadows are for $70 but it looks beautiful - have you used it/swatch it yet?

 

[caramel_geek]

they are a bit small for $70. Anyhow, I'm still tempted, coz there are so many colors!

Can't wait for reviews on its pigmentation

 

[redecouverte]

I vote no. I love Bobbi, but $70 for those itty-bitty shadows. I just don't know...

 

[redecouverte]

thank you for your honest opinion...(please disregard my email then..lol..)
i also have to admit that i have dupes...i was thinking $2 per e/s...

 

[caramel_geek]

Someone did a video showing the palette on YouTube. Just do a search for "Bobbi Brown 2009 palette".
It does look uber tiny. But i'm still tempted cause of the colors. Ugh... I'm so messed up.
