Bobbi Brown Peony & Python Palette

I know I have a few backlog posts to work on but I’m in the mood to write a review on this newest Bobbi Brown Palette:

The peony is Bobbi’s favorite flower. This is a collaboration between her and the clothing brand Tibi.

The zipper is quite hard to open as it gets stuck on the edges but inside you will see this:

There are 6 eyeshadows that you can use for day or night looks. This palette also comes with mini brushes. I have yet to use these brushes. Even when I was on vacation, I still used my full size brushes.  They’re hard to hold and I already have small hands!

A closer look at the shadows:

They are Opal, Lavender, Cool Ivory (top, left to right), Cobra, Plum Orchid and Eclipse (bottom, left to right).

In my opinion, this palette is more of a smokey eye palette although I was able to get away with one day look that my MUA friends loved. I got a lot of compliments on that look. If I’m not mistaken, this is a photo of that look:

The colors are a bit washed out because I used 3 of the light colors in the palette then added Plum Orchid on the outer V for depth.

Here is an example of a smokey eye look using this palette:

You need to build and blend the shadows to create intensity. That’s another reason this palette belongs to the smokey eye family. You can’t just apply the e/s once. You won’t be able to see the colors much. I was hesitant to buy this product but when Ms. Bea (Senior MUA for Bobbi Brown) said that it’s great for smokey eyes and the shadows are matte (I am building up my matte collection for my traincase), I was sold. Mom immediately got me one.

I would recommend this palette if you love creating smokey eyes or into dramatic eyes. This palette costs Php3,000 and in my opinion, is a good investment. It has 6 eyeshadows, 2 brushes and a mirror all encased in a chic pouch. Plus it’s a limited edition Bobbi Brown special. If you want to buy one but don’t know how you’ll use it, look for Owell or Ms. Bea at Rustan’s Makati and they will teach you how to maximize the use of this palette.

    The shades are so dramatic! I like the way you did the smokey-eye look! I don't know how to work dark eyeshadows. :\

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...
