Bobbi Brown - Rich chocolate eye palette

Bobbi Brown lanserar denna sagolika skuggpalett som limited edition. Paletten går under namnet "rich chocolate eye palette" och den tilltalar mig på alla sätt. Jag älskar neutrala färger och använder sällan starka färger. Jag älskar att mixa skimmer och matta skuggor. Jag älskar när det känns så där lyxigt och härligt.

För $52 (340 kr-ish) blir den din (eller kanske min).

Såhär skriver BB själva:
Better than a box of truffles - our latest palette for eyes features a rich array of chocolate-inspired shades for a seasonal take on Bobbi's classic neutrals. Includes a mix of textures including shimmery and sparkly hues, plus Bobbi's pick-of-the-palette, Rich Chocolate Eye Shadow - a deliciously dark color that doubles as an eyeliner too. Exclusively packaged in a mirrored compact with a glossy chocolate finish, plus a dual-ended brush for expert application.

AHHHHH! Ge mig!

Bobbi Brown - lilac rose collection

Iiiihhhhh, I die! This ad is the most gorg thing evah! And the makeup is just as gorgeous and "i-must-own-it"-worthy! The whole collection is limited edition so expect it to sell out fast!

From left to right:

nailpolish - This is a limited edition polish in a greypinkish colour. Just that perfect sophisticated nude with a hint of pink that is flattering on everyone. The shade is called "roza".

Shimmer brick "lilac rose" - I must have this one. This is the real winner for me. Just the look of it makes me feel/hear/smell/taste summer. What will wearing it be like!? This shimmerbrick contains of bright pinks, golden pinks and pinky pearl and is divine! I'm a sucker for pink blush and use pink shades almost every day.

Lip gloss - this collection adds to new glosses in the name of lilac rose and pink lily. The third lipgloss is a brightening lip gloss in the name "pink lilac". I'm not much of a glossgirl so I'll pass on these.

Eye palette "lilac rose" - praise Jesus, this makes my fingers tingle! This eight-colour palette is perfect for everyday with its light, nude and dusty pinks, greys and lilac shades. Perfection with the brown shade. (I do see a brown shade right!?)

Blush - perfect pink blush in the name "pastel pink".

Sparkle eyeshadow - this sparkly doll goes under the name of "lilac".

The only negative thing I could say is that the creative team must have had a mental breakdown when creating the names. The all have (almost) the same name! That makes me a little confused.

Katjas första läppstift

I have a gorgeous friend, her name is Katja! We are the perfect match. A match made in heaven. We met and within 30 days became like sisters. Lord and behold when I found out that this woman does not use makeup. Let me say it again, this wonderful sister-from-another-mister to me does not use makeup. I died, gasped for air and died again! It almost provoked me. How can someone be sp uniterested in something so wonderful!?

But on the other hand I find it utterly refreshing with a woman secure with her looks, a woman that sees beauty when she looks in the mirror no matter what time of the day. It's quite inspiring. Because I do find it so sad when women feel like they have to "put on their face". The kind of insecurity that forces woman to spend hours in the bathroom just to have the curage to go to the grocerystore.

Makeup should be fun, it should never ever be the armour in which you hide.

But back to Katja. She has gotten a small interest. Well compared to me her interest is like non-existence. But when she said "Frida, help me pick out a lipstick" I took on the challenge. We went to a bick departmentstore in our city and swatched almost all red lipsticks in there. Loréal to YSL, Mac to Maybelline and then we finally found ourselves at the Bobbi Brown counter. And there is was. The perfect, most chic lipstick in this perfect classic womanly red colour. She bought it and we went out to eat and hopefully she will never look back.

(And hopefully this was only the first of a bizillion makeup items she will purchase because oh, what fun it was to teach, swatch, learn och feel all professional about it)
