wearing The rich Caramel Eye Palette, the Blushes from the Deluxe Cheek & Eye Palette, Pink Shimmer brick and Art Stick in electric Pink from Bobbi brown holiday 2015
I prepared a video for this review of the new Bobbi brown holiday 2015 collection, including some of my favorite highlights from the launch, but then a gremlin attacked my ankles and forced me to unwittingly erase the memory card. In other words, technical difficulties struck, so now we’re ad libbing video-free, whee!
Yup, just as a friendly tip from me to you — don’t forget to back up your work early and often.

Jeg siger bare ‘.
With that out of the way, check it out…
The new Bobbi brown holiday 2015 collection is divided into two parts — one comprised of gift sets, palettes and brush kits, and and the other a limited edition color collection called Sterling Nights.

We’ll be taking a look at some of the pieces that struck my fancy from both parts of the launch.
First up, Sterling Nights, the color collection. It’s been on counters now for about a month, and Bobbi says that she was inspired to create the collection after a recent trip she took to South Africa.
The look is all about shimmery, jewel-toned smoky eyes, luminous skin and your choice of bright or nude lips.

I was struck by how intense the $36 sequin Eye shadows are, considering that they’re from Bobbi. Baked shadows with a domed shape, they can be worn wet or dry, and they’re pretty shiny. They also exhibit very little fallout.
For a quick smoky eye, I like to layer them atop a darker base, then buff out the edges.
Also, if you end up grabbing one, be careful. As you can see from the shattered pan of Moon Rock, they’re delicate.
The collection also includes three $35 face Highlighters in Pink, Seashell and sunlight Bronze. They’re created to be able to be worn by people of all skin tones.
I’ve mostly been wearing Pink and Seashell…

Liquid face highlighters with a pearlescent finish, you can either dab them directly on your skin before foundation or tinted moisturize, or after. Or, you can actually mix them directly with your foundation or tinted moisturizer, and then apply that concoction with your base makeup.
I’ve tried them a bunch of different ways, and I don’t have a fave. They’re absolutely subtle, and they have a fresh, natural sheen just shy of shiny. I like the results.
The way they look reminds me of the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfectors, but with less pearl. I really like them a lot, although I wish you got a lot more product for the price.
The glass bottle also makes me nervous! I entirely expect to drop one on the floor eventually.
And then there are the $27 Lip Colors.

One of my favorite things about Bobbi is how she just goes for it when she does bright lip colors, so I’m loving these. They’re just shy of opaque and have a great sheen to them. despite having good coverage, they still don’t look heavy on the lips or clear up into lip lines, so yay! When it pertains to lipsticks for mature lip lovers, Bobbi knows what’s up.
As for the 10 gift sets in the collection, my favorites are the four below, starting with the rich Caramel Eye palette ($49).
Mmm… rich caramel…
Bobbi brown holiday 2015 rich Caramel Eye palette ($49)
One of two limited edition eyeshadow palettes in the release (the other, Greystone, has cooler tones of gray and brown), rich Caramel is the warmer option. It houses two new shades, rich Caramel Shimmer wash Eye shadow and Toasted Cinnamon Sparkle, and three re-promoted colors from the permanent line called Cream, Bellini and rich Caviar.
I think of rich Caramel as a weekend, “I gotta get out the door” eye palette because the shades aren’t very high contrast, which indicates that they don’t require a lot of time to blend. They’re also moderately pigmented, which is another thing that makes them easy to blend.
On top of a primer, the shadows last all day on me and don’t clear up into my fine lines.
Perfect for subtle, natural makeup looks.

I know that Bobbi’s propensity for low levels of pigment in her shadows frustrates some makeup lovers who like intense eyeshadows, but ya know…there’s a time and a place for less intense looks, like when I’m chillin’ with my family or going to a meeting for work.
When time is of the essence and/or I’m feeling lazy, these are great.
Just keep that in mindNår du tjekker disse ud, og du bemærker det lave pigmentniveau.
På den note, siger Howdy til $ 85 Deluxe-kinden & Palette.
Bobbi Brown Deluxe Cheek & Eye Palette ($ 85)
Ligesom Rich Caramel, det er begrænset udgave, men den består af otte pulver øjenskygger og to pulver rødmer, som alle er skabt til alle hudtoner, men jeg tænker på, at nogle af de køligere tonede nuancer i den to-tiered palæ kan Vær lidt meget mere smigrende på kølige tonede gals.
De fleste pulvere i paletten er omfremmende forresten. Begge rødme, ørkenrose og lyse pink, er genopfremmende, ligesom seks af de otte øjenskygger (elfenben, cement gnistre, glimmer gnistre, gylden bronze metallisk, bleg rose og kaviar). De eneste nye nuancer er lilla haze og stålgrå.

Som den rige karameløjepalette er disse ikke pigmenterede krafthuse. De er absolut mindre pigmenteret end et gennemsnitligt produkt over på Mac eller Nars. Når det er sagt, kan du forbedre dem ved at anvende dem oven på en creme skygge eller vædde din børste først, så du har muligheder.
Med hensyn til den nye $ 47 shimmer mursten i pink, er det en varm, pearly pink, og du kender Shimmer Brick Drill – du kan bruge de enkelte farver som øjenskygge eller hvirvle dem alle sammen og bruge dem som en highlighter, hvilket er, hvordan jeg bruger dem meget af tiden.

Med en finish meget som BECCAs skinnende hudperfector presset, er den kombinerede highlighter markant skinnende og borderline frosty, men du kan gøre skinden op eller ned. Helt op gør du. Jeg kan godt lide det på grund af, hvor vidunderligt godt det er for mine porer og fine linjer.
Jeg tror også, at den kombinerede pinkish highlighter farve er utroligt smuk. Det har et strejf af varm bronze, som virkelig komplementerer rosa, fersken og bronze rødmer.

Sidst, men ikke mindst, $ 61 The Art Stick Trio, som omfatter tre af Bobbis fulde størrelse, fulddækningskunstpinde læbestifter med en mat finish og en cremet formel.

Hvis du har fået hver af kunstpinde separat, ville de være $ 28 hver ($ 84 for tre), så du får en prisbrud-ish, slags, for tre af dem med trioen.
Jeg elsker Bobbis kunstpinde. De er totale usungte helte i hendes lip line – intens, lang iført og nem at anvende, selvom jeg tror, at det hjælper, hvis du har tørre læber som jeg gør, for at forberede dine læber på forhånd med en læbe balsam.
