I saw the Bobbi Brown Ivy League collection in Selfridges today. It's lovely, particularly if you like greens. My favourite was the blackened emerald Bash metallic eyeshadow, and I also liked the creamy chubby lip crayon in Posey (cheery brightish pink.) I was surprised that the lip crayon cost as much as £18, but on reflection that's on a par with Lipstick Queen's Chinatown chubby lip pencils (both the Bobbi Brown and the Lipstick Queen lip pencils come with a sharpener included - essential for this kind of product.) I wasn't so keen on the Golden Leaf shimmer wash eyeshadow - it's a yellow green that would probably make my pale olive skin look jaundiced.
I didn't buy anything today, but may go back for the Bash eyeshadow.

Thanks for your thots. I'm definitely going to get the Forest Shimmer ink e/l (off to NYC next week yeah!) as it's similar to Clinique's Egyptian gel e/l but that doesn't stay on me as well as the BB.
ReplyDeleteI thot the greens were also very lovely too....great finish...
thanks for your thots. Let us know if you do get anything!
Hi Moodeve. The Forest Shimmer gel e/l looks really nice too. Lucky you to be going to NY - have a fantastic time!
ReplyDeleteI ordered the Golden Leaf e/s sight unseen because it was sold out at the counter (always want what we can't have right?) and was also quite surprised when I saw how greenish yellow it appeared in the pan. However, I have been wearing it patted heavily on my eyelid and it looks good. Not too yellow or too green, just a nice alternative to a dark brown.
