The limited edition palette contains ten shimmering eye shades including champagnes,copper,bronzes and browns.
The shades range from a soft wash to medium tones which allows versatility in the looks you can create.
The shades have the same level of smoothness as the shimmer bricks, they blend well and wear all day used over a primer.
There are four limited edition Tinted Lip Balms in the collection and I picked the lightest, Pink Popsicle (£15).
Its a sheer pinky/rose which looks extremely natural. A compact twist up product that is great to throw in your handbag, the balm offers a soft wash of colour and has a smooth, moisturising feel that does not feel heavy.
Its a great fuss free product and the only thing I am not keen on is the scent which has that crayon smell to it.
I really like this collection and might go back for a few more pieces, the Raw Sugar nail polish in particular is calling to me.
I bought these from John Lewis
Ooo I like the lip balm! No fuss colors, I love those and that light pink is lovely! The palette has too many warm colors for me but it surely looks stunning/summery. :)
ReplyDeleteIts such an easy to wear lip shade. I thought the palette would be too warm but looks fine on, seems that the first five colours are warmer and the other five more neutral
DeleteThanks for the review, Clare! I haven't seen much about this collection in the blogosphere, but I had to Google some promo images, and I like how the tinted lip balms look! Will definitely have to look into them :)
ReplyDeleteI'd not read much either but just noticed it pop up at the counter and before I knew I was making a purchase :) Its worth checking out, I am tempted by one of the other lip balm shades, think it was called brown.
DeleteHi dear Clare, the eyeshadow palette in my opinion contains too many similar colours..
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review,

I know what you mean Marghe, some of the lighter shades are quite close in colour, though I do think there is just enough difference, especially with the more obvious bronze, brown or champagne shades to allow different looks :)
DeleteThe palette looks pretty Clare but to be honest I've not been excited about Bobbi Brown is a long time.
ReplyDeleteYes I know what you mean, BB isn't really a brand that screams out at me but now and then I'll get interested, their Art lip stick things are meant to be really good, don't think they have launched here just yet but will give them a peruse when they do:)
DeleteHi Clare! I've been curious about the palette but specially about the tinted lip balms, they look awesome! I thought they would have minty scent like other BB products, was the 'crayon' scent to strong? does it fade? Thank you Clare xxx
ReplyDeleteI think I would have preferred a minty scent :) I would say it seems quite strong at first, it does fade so it literally it just as I am applying it I notice it, but its one of those things I could have done without xxx
DeleteI do like the shades but I've too many shimmer bricks with similar colors from Body Shop and Physicans Formula.
ReplyDeleteYes I think the shades are not necessarily unique, I do like having them in all together in one palette though :)
