Bobbi Brown Lip Color- Red

                  Bobbi Brown makes some amazing reds, need to put that out there; they are underrated in my opinion. 

 I love not only how rich, striking, and elegant Red (yes, that's the name) is, but also the finish: It's a cross between matte and creamy, not totally matte but not a full-blown cream either; just the perfect balance of both. Sephora describes it as a "fire engine red", I must say I do agree. This is an easy to wear no-fuss red that I think would look great on any skin tone. Sigh, I love.

Bobbi Brown Sand Tortoiseshell Eye Palette

San Tortoiseshell ($60) is a neutral palette with eight mattes and metallics. While the packaging is simply stunning, I'm actually torn with the shadows. I'm not sure if they fully convince me. A couple of the shadows, Ivory and Black Chocolate, aren't very pigmented and feel quite dry. For something that cost $60, two bad shadows won't cut the mustard. I wish Sephora carried this in stores so I could have swatched it first, I probably wouldn't have gotten it. The metallics are beautiful though, very beautiful. 

Description from Sephora.com

Ivory (matte creamy white), Hot Stone (matte taupe), Terracotta (matte peachy beige), Antique Rose (matte soft dusty rose), and Black Chocolate (matte dark brown) Metallic Eye Shadow in Desert Sand (ivory beige shimmer) and Sandy Rose (silver taupe shimmer) Sparkle Eye Shadow in Gold Bar (sparkling pale gold)

I had to really scrub Ivory and Black Chocolate to pick up anything and they're still sheer

3 out of 5 stars for me. Thanks for reading!

Love,

Sonia
