Bobbi Brown Pink Quartz collection and brush sets

October 19, 2007 Paris B 9 Comments

I’d been following the on-going discussion between S-Kay and Jessie below with great interest, regarding the new Bobbi Brown collection. Coincidentally, yesterday, I happened to chance upon a reference to a Pink Quartz Shimmerbrick. I did a review of the Bobbi Brown shimmerbricks once on my old site, and I thought I’d imported it here but apparently I did not! So, look out for a revamped review of the Bobbi Brown Shimmerbricks soon.

Anyway, what with Jessie and S-Kay’s comments and reading about a new shimmerbrick, I knew I had to do some research on this. And here is the information I’ve obtained (All Malaysian Ringgit prices courtesy of Jessie). Picture heavy so pictures and info are after the jump (click on the “Read the rest” link)

Bobbi Brown Metallics Trio eyeshadows – what I think

September 18, 2007 Paris B 2 Comments

bbmetallic

Acting on a tipoff from Cass (who has given her own take on what she thinks) I went to check out the Bobbi Brown Metallics eyeshadow trios today. I went to the standalone Bobbi Brown store at Midvalley Megamall. I was quite excited for this collection to come out so it was great to finally be able to see it in person.

First of all, I’d say that the trios are a good size this time. They are quite large and a nice size in nice packaging. The metal edge surrounding the eyeshadows correspond to the colours in the trio just as you see in the picture above. Its a slim compact and very useful. However, unlike previous Bobbi Brown collections, this one has no brush included. I found it strange because Bobbi Brown usually tries to make things as user-friendly as possible.

In pan, the eyeshadows look soft and shimmery and well, metallic. However, the texture of the eyeshadows were not as soft as they look. The middle colour of the green trio in particular must have been touched a lot because a hard surface had formed which made it hard to get colour on the fingers. It made me wonder if it would get like that after a few uses.

As Cass has said, the colours don’t show up nearly as true to the pan. If they did, it would have been awesome. But what you get is a slightly more muted version of the colour in the pan.

Midnight Metallics
My favourite of the lot. The dark blue is dark enough while the silver and white makes a good contrast. The middle silver is “Rockstar” but quite different from the original Diamond Dust Rockstar which I love.

Forest Metallics
I love green shadow but this was a mess. It was dark and on small lids, if you try to get the middle vibrant green to show, you won’t be able to. Its a very dark trio. I smudged the middle green on my hand and got mud. You really need to dig in to get it to show up the vibrant green in pan.

Burnt Sugar Metallics
Blah. I don’t know anyone who’d bother. Its just 3 light shades with not much definition in between. If you like neutral tones yes, maybe it works for you but if you already have a ton of neutral tones, skip it.

Velvet Plum Metallics
Don’t let the picture fool you. This is no plum. It was a taupe trio. I rather liked this one because the dark shade was sufficiently dark to be a contrast shade and the light shades worked together. If I did not already own a whole host of taupe shades, I would get this one.

The Sales Assistant told me something strange though. She said that the colours were designed to work individually. I gave her a strange look and said “But that defeats the purpose of having a trio right?” She did not reply. Don’t you agree though?

To be fair, each colour is very pigmented which is good. But if you aren’t very good with doing eye makeup, you may find it too easy to make mistakes because the dark colours are very dark while light colours are light. If you are looking for high shimmer or a metallic tone, then you will be disappointed because there is a rather matt look about them once applied.

However, if you are looking for a smokey eye look, I’d recommend the Forest Metallics. I think it will be awesome for a smokey eye. The Midnight Metallics too will work very nicely for anyone who wants a lovely silvery-blue eye. If you prefer something for everyday, then look at the Velvet Plum Metallics or Burnt Sugar Metallics.

Each trio retails at RM150 and are limited edition so its while stocks last. These are gorgeous quality eyeshadows but I’d recommend you take a look at them first before buying, to see which suits you and your needs best.

I’m sorry Bobbi – I really wanted to love this one.

Bobbi Brown Metallics eyeshadow trio

August 29, 2007 Paris B 2 Comments

bbmetallic

Bobbi Brown collections are usually blah to me. But this new Fall 2007 collection of Metallics eyeshadow trios have my heart getting all a-flutter. Shimmer isn’t usually advocated by Bobbi Brown so I was very surprised to see this collection.

I’d love to check these out at the counter when they get here… eventually. I’ll report back when I do.

Bobbi Brown Stonewashed Nudes collection

July 13, 2007 Paris B 3 Comments

stonewashed look

Bobbi Brown’s Stonewashed Collection is sending ripples of excitement through fans of neutral and natural shades. This collection is reminiscent of Bobbi Brown’s signature neutral colours.

If you missed out on the Chocolate collection last year, you might want to check this one out as it too is a Limited Edition collection.

I’m looking forward to seeing the Stonewashed Nudes eyeshadow palette. Like the Chocolate palette from last year, there are 7 colours in this eyeshadow palette, which is housed in a slim narrow case.

The case is shiny black sturdy plastic with the name Bobbi Brown in white which is the signature Bobbi Brown packaging. It comes with a double ended eyeshadow brush with one fluffy end and one flat end to line.

stonewashednudes

The eyeshadow palette will have 6 limited edition colours that are only available in this palette. Only Espresso, the darkest colour for lining is a regular colour. There are 3 eyeshadows and 4 shimmer wash eyeshadows in light and dark shades.

The colours are: Espresso, Rock Shimmer Wash, Mica Shimmer Wash, Stonewashed shimmer wash, Ash Shimmer Wash, Hot Stone and Navajo.

I’ve been watching this palette online for a long time and I’m really glad its coming here. Reviews on this one are quite mixed. Some say that its one of the best palettes they have ever come across. Others say it doesn’t work for them.

The consensus however, is that this is a cool toned palette that will suit people will cooler skin tones. If you naturally look good in silvers or blues or cool taupes, then this palette might suit you. If however, you prefer something warmer and if you look better in golds or bronze then this palette might not be for you. The best way to know is to check it out for yourself.

This eyeshadow palette will retail for RM190 and will premiere exclusively in Malaysia at Isetan KLCC from 20 July 2007. There are only 60 palettes up for grabs as this is a limited edition item. The other counters might start getting it after the 20th.

Other items in this collection are a pot rouge, lipsticks, shimmer lip gloss, mascara and gel eyeliner. I may pop by to check this eye palette out but the rest of the collection looks a tad too brown and dark for me. I usually prefer something brighter. That said, if you are tanned, I think this collection will look stunning on you! Just take a look at the model above.

#mykiehls wraps their popular products in special packaging designed by Janine Rewell for the Holiday season. I love the scent of the lavender soap! It’s so strong! I’d keep it in my clothes drawer or cupboard to scent it though. It smells amazing!!
.
.
Also, Kiehl’s is taking a step towards being a sustainable brand by using fair trade and sustainable ingredients and packaging. Bring back 4 Kiehl’s product packaging to their stores and you’ll get a deluxe sample in return! Perfect for all #kiehls fans! .
. 
What’s your fave Kiehl’s product? I’m a bit out of touch with the brand to be honest. Didn’t realise quite a few new things have been released. In the past, I liked the Midnight Recovery Oil & the Powerful Line Recovery Concentrate serum. Good stuff! What’s yours? 😉
