Bobbi Brown Tortoise Shell Eye Palette Review
Bobbi Brown Bronze Tortoise Shell Eye Palette Review
NOTE: I did not buy this palette but swatched it and chatted with the Bobbi Brown lady for some time - so this is my thoughts on the product:
This palette looks a feel expensive. The editorial is beauty and makes you want to BUY BUY BUY because its soooooo pretty. But how does that translate into the product. Lets see…
You get 8 different eyeshadows in different finishes. At first glance i noticed it need more matte shades - but i always think that! The shadows are obviously smaller than the standard bobbi brown eyeshadows but thats understandable.
The matte eyeshadows swathed very smoothly as normal for bobbi brown. The sparkle eyeshadows went on glittery but VERY sheer which is a NO NO in my book. The metallic eyeshadows were highly pigmented which was nice. Lastly the shimmer eyeshadows went on sheerly - which for the price i wasn't overly impressed with.
For me this product has a killer editorial but lacks something in reality. For the price you pay i expected more pigment. But this is a personal preference - sheer eyeshadows do make for a more mistake proof makeup - so depending on your skill - this might be a good thing.
Overall this isn't a product i would spend my money on but i know a lot of people will love it.
Something of note - in Bobbi Browns first makeup books she talks about her love of everything MATTE. She talks about matte eyeshadows and her not liking shimmer on the cheeks... How times change eh.

LOVE MAKEUP? I DO ...
LOVE MAKEUP? I DO…
I don't always find it that easy to make friends. I have a very sick sense of humour and it gets me into trouble sometimes … often!
In makeup shopping - ie - makeup shops i find it even harder to not only make friends but get good service.
If i can order a product from America and have it delivered in 3 days then i bloody well don't expect to wait a week for products that are only 2 hours away by car! I also expect not only good service but friendly polite service.
I came across http://www.love-makeup.co.uk in the beginning of this year when i was looking for OCC cosmetics in the UK. Since then i've not only shopped with this company i've made friends with the lady that owns it - Sue.
Sue makes me laugh. She is funny, honest, understanding and the service is amazing (did i mention funny!).
I now use love-makeup for most of my makeup orders (apart from KETT). Why am i telling you this? well …
Because i want you to know that i'm not affiliated with love-makeup. I do not make any money or profit from anything i recommend to you. I'm saying this so you KNOW that i'm not pushing a brand or shop because i'm making a profit - i'm pushing it because i love Sue and she's my friend. And she's funny!
