Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves

[ChosenOne]

Unless Surf is plagued with poor pigmentation and fallout, I will almost certainly buy it. I don't have anything like the blue/green shades and I'm always seduced by beach glass like colours.

Please let me know what you think of it (assuming I don't just order it the day it launches).

I can't speak to the fallout issue since I didn't try them on my eyes, but I actually swatched both of the e/s palettes in this collection already. Sorry to say that the blue and green shades in the Surf palette are not very pigmented. You get more of a sheer wash of color with a lot of shimmer. They can be built up and definitely work better over a base, but if you want to use them alone, you won't get a lot of color. They kind of remind me of MAC's lustre e/s formula. Strangely, the Sand palette is much more pigmented, even though it also includes some shimmery shades.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. So many of her e/s palettes are plagued with those kind of issues; I don't want the palette if I can't get true to pan colour on the blue and green shades. I tend to sheer shades out, but I want the potential to make them pop if I want to. Too sheer plus a lot of shimmer will mean...

Thank you for the review it is useful, but I will purchase both even if they are quite sheer, I love those palettes Surf and Sand, they look so pretty.

You can get true-to-pan color out of them, but it takes a lot of building to do it.

Oh they're definitely beautiful! It's funny because Surf is a palette that draws the attention of those who like a lot of color, but then they don't get a lot of pigmentation out of it unless they work to build it up. It would be an amazing palette for those who are just dipping their toes into the colorful end of the e/s pool, but because they are blue and green, those people will tend to shy away from it when really it would be a great palette for that kind of person! And Sand is just beautiful all around, so nothing more I can say about that.

Thank you so much I love intense and pastel shades in fact, a soft or light pigmentation will be ok, if I need intense es I have my Nars ones or UD Electric palette I know I will love Bobbi Brown ones .

By an odd coincidence, yesterday I bought Bobbi Brown's Forest shadowstick and I love it, much more than NARS' Snake Eyes.

I also have Iced Blue, Sunlight Gold and Shadow and I use them regularly.
Shadow is great for a fast fast smoky eye.

Its confusing cause she came out with a palette with the same name years ago. I like the look of the surf palette with the green colour in it

I love Forest shadow stick! I like most of the shadow sticks, actually, but my favorites are Forest, Golden Pink, Vanilla, and Sunlight Gold. I also love the look of the 24 Karat one that just came out (I think it's a repromote?). Totally agree that the darker shades are amazing for lightning speed smoky eyes!

I also have Golden Pink, though I like Sunlight Gold more.
24 Karat is oneI'll look for, as well as a gorgeous bronze (called Bronze) and Tuxedo.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the swatches.

Thank you for posting I ordered the Surf Palette today but I am a huge fan of pastels ( and intense shades as well ^^), so I think it will be what I need. I might order Sand, I still don't know as I have many palettes here and many I want to purchase next Fall !
