“Chrome is cool and icy- it’s a very modern, but still pretty way to illuminate the skin.” - Bobbi Brown
I flew home last night to a mound of mail and packages (24 days worth of mail and blogger packages is a sight to see!) I opened each and every one of the (10) boxes from cosmetic companies and when I saw what was inside the Bobbi Brown package I got a bit miffed. Not to be ungrateful and all but hello– I so could have used this CHROME palette during my trip to Asia! It’s a tri-fold compact that has 10 eyeshadow shades, 4 lip shades, plus mini brushes to boot. It would have saved me a lot of room in my luggage!
I played with the shadows after the hubby and boy went to bed and was surprised how subtle the shadows are on the lids (considering how dark they look in the palette). I used the “Iron” matte shadow as a base and highlighted the brow bone with “White” matte shadow. I then put “Charcoal Haze” along the lash line to smoke my liner (may be used as a liner itself) which made for a really pretty daytime look. To test out an evening look, I lightly dusted “Cyber Grey” and “Storm Cloud” sparkle shadow over the entire the lid– smokin’ hot! I love playing with make up and can do this all night long!
Bobbi Brown Chrome Palette ($75) here.
The collection also has three new limited edition lipsticks: Port Lip Color, Chrome Metallic Lip Color and Plum Pearl Metallic Lip Color. I did not get any samples of these so will stop by Neiman Marcus later this week to test out.
The collection also includes Bobbi’s holiday Chrome Mini Brush Set- the perfect present for the beauty-junkie in your life (wait, that would be moi!). The set, which comes in a chrome zip-around cases features a Mini Face Blender, Bobbi’s new Mini Angle Eye Shadow Brush and a Mini Eye Liner brush.
Also available at Nordstrom. Bobbi Brown Chrome Palette $75, Bobbi Brown Metallic Lip Color $22, Bobbi Brown Chrome Mini Brush Set $55.
I love this. I am going to have to get one. It will be perfect for the holidays!
this looks fabulous but unfortunately i can’t pull off silvery colors. if you want the shadows to look more true-to-pan, you can try applying them wet!
