Bobbi Brown's Holiday 2008 Night Sky Long-Wear Eye Palette Review and Pictures

Bobbi Brown’s Night Sky Long-Wear Eye Palette ($55.00) is offered as a holiday temptation! This palette includes Rockstar and Ocean long-wear cream shadow as well as Black Ink and Thunder Storm long-wear gel eyeliner. I am a big fan of Bobbi Brown’s long-wear gel eyeliner; I find it’s a bit creamier than most gel liners, but they’re still pigmented enough to give me the darkness I crave.

Rockstar is a silvery shade with a touch of blue undertones, while Ocean is a shimmery midnight blue. Black Ink is pretty much just that – a matte black. Thunder is a dark brownish-gray color. These colors go on just the way they appear, which is great, because I love it when products are true-to-color! I haven’t yet tried out the cream shadows to see how they wear, and I imagine I’ll more likely wear them as liner than as shadows 😉

I’m not convinced bout this palette. As far as cream shadows go, my money is still on mac paint pots. I use bb gel liners but honestly, they are easily duped by drugstore brands. And i hate it when that happens.

Hey, Christine, I saw on someone’s blog about this. It is said that the shadows are very streaky when applied. and it takes a lot of time to blend and layer.

So, I’ll pass. It’s sad cause BB’s palettes often disppoint me after being so hyped and then read reviews. sigh
