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. :\

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
