Third Time’s a charm - Bobbi Brown
After being unimpressed by Stonewashed Nudes and the Metallics collections, a new palette is launched under the chocolate theme. I know what you’re thinking “Didn’t she release a chocolate palette last year?”, yes she did, but this year’s seems a lot more appealing.
The palette consists of 4 lip glosses and 4 eyeshadows and although I love the finishes and color selection (I’m a sucker for neutrals), I do think that the palette could be a lot more versatile than it is.
First, if you’re not into lip gloss, then half of the palette is completely useless for you. What possessed them to put 4 shades of the exact same type of lip product in this palette? Talk about putting all your eggs in one side of the palette. Definitely a way to make this palette a lot more versatile would be to put one lipstick on one pot and a pot rouge on another pan and keep the two lip glosses to enhance your lipstick or to top the pot rouge if you apply it on your lips.
Again this is one of those items that you buy if you don’t have anything like it in your makeup collection. A palette is one of those “to-have” items because it’s great to put in your bag and go on a business trip and not having to take 7 different eyeshadow pots because the palette has it all neatly put away.
This collection if for neutral fans, if you like ‘em great, if you don’t, go look for something else.
For the more attentive boyfriends this can be a great present for the coming holidays. I don’t think this is something to give to your mother as sometimes mature women frown at gloss. So, allow yourself to indulge on some chocolate.
