Desert Twilight eye palette, Bobbi Brown, $60
I hardly ever go in for eyeshadow palettes, because inevitably, I use one or two shades, and the rest languish in their case for eons. I refuse to throw them out (can’t just waste them!) and they grow into a collection that could rival some hoarders.
But the one exception I make to my no-palettes rule is for Bobbi Brown. Because every single time I buy one of her palettes, I use that thing until it’s completely gone. Every color is so unbelievably wearable, versatile and flattering that I even end up – gasp – branching out on occasion, and not just reaching for the same boring pale pink shadow day in and day out.
Her latest, Desert Twilight, might just be my favorite yet. I am having way too much fun playing makeup counter with this one – every time I take it out, I come up with a new combination of colors that I love. And because there are a couple of shimmers and a liner shade thrown in for good measure, it’s the ultimate travel palette. Day, night, casual, formal, whatever you’ve got going, Bobbi’s got your back, and I love her for it.
I love this almost as much as I love your new living room. 🙂
I’ve been debating about this palette for awhile! The only thing that’s stopping me is the two sparkle shadows. The last time I bought one of Bobbi’s sparkle eyeshadows it was REALLY sparkly – as in fit for only a teenager. You don’t find that to be the case with these sparkle shadows?
K – I really don’t. I think it’s all about application. I start with the more neutral shadows, and just put a light dusting of the shimmer over the top, right near my lash line, so it’s barely peeking out over my liner. It also helps to blow on the brush before applying. Give it a try!
