Have you seen Bobbi Brown’s customizable makeup palettes yet?

Of course I like the idea of tailoring makeup to my own preference but what I like more about Bobbi’s palettes was the fact that I could possibly carry everything I needed to complete a makeup look in one.

And that means more than just eye, cheek and lip colors.  Bobbi Brown takes it one step further and put her Foundation Stick formula into a compact to give us the choice to make a more complete palette.  It’s nice to have foundation and color in one so that I pack less when I travel.  Or at least try 

I’m going to Orange County this weekend and couldn’t wait to try a solid compact since liquids often get tossed out at the airport.  After trying this, I had mixed feelings on the foundation compact; it’s definitely something I need to get used to.

I am such a lover of Bobbi Brown makeup, especially her gel liners and creamy lip colors.  So I can’t for the life of me figure out how I’m not in love with Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadows.

As a part of Bobbi’s new Platinum Collection she released four new shades of Long-Wear Cream Shadows ($22 US), including Steel, a color I’ve been trying to get work on me for the past few days.

Described as a deep, cool brown, I played around with Steel (my first BB cream shadow) and tried to apply it in a couple of different ways.

Experiment #1: Apply with fingertips.  What I like about cream shadows is the fact that they’re so easy to apply with your fingers (because it’s always more fun to play with your makeup, right? ).   So I dipped my ring finger into my pot of Steel.  The consistency was silky and soft but when I went to apply it onto my lids, the formula didn’t apply smoothly – it was almost like it had dried on my finger before I could work with it.

I picked up a bit more color to see if I just needed to pile on the product, but again, it didn’t smooth onto my lids, or even deposit that much color when I used a dab technique.  I continued to layer and found that I could build the color, albeit slowly.  Most of it appeared to just stay on my finger.

It’s Friday night and I’m just at home chillin’.  I don’t feel much like watching television so I thought I’d play a game of “What’s In My Makeup Bag?” and started snapping pictures in my bedroom.

Here’s what’s in my new MAC Hello Kitty makeup bag:

- Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Eyeshadow Palettes in Storm and Earth

Okay, now it’s your turn – what’s currently in your makeup bag?  Anything fun?  Anything that’s in there that you actually don’t use but it’s just there?

Happy Thursday, everyone!

I was feeling a little blue this morning (literally) so I decided to do a fun blue and gold FOTD.

I didn’t do a full on blue eye since I tend to get a little messy if I don’t have enough time to spend on my makeup.  So I reached for my shu uemura Secret Luscious Rose palette and opted for an olive green all over my lid, then applied a little bit of the navy blue in the outer corners and into my crease.

Then for the Pièce de Résistance of my look, a bold electric blue liner using L’Oreal HiP Color Truth Cream Liner.  I got these at the drugstore during a BOGO event – the best times to shop for makeup!
