Bobbi Brown Modern Classic Lip and Eye Palette - Review and Swatches
There is something classically elegant about Bobbi Brown's line. From the universal colors to the sleek but timeless design, I always look forward to Bobbi's holiday offerings.
With Christmas already passed, it seems a little late to be reviewing Bobbi Brown's Modern Classic Lip and Eye Palette. But I think that this palette has more going for it than holiday seasonality. It's a limited edition palette of 10 eyeshadows and 4 glitter lip glosses. The eyeshadows come in a variety of matte, shimmer and metallics. The packaging is in that classic Bobbi Brown fashion, packaged in gold and black.
Gorgeous presentation isn't the only expectation that I have with BB products. The eyeshadows have a great reputation, and they always manage to find their way into staples in my rotation. So many of Bobbi Brown's past palettes have been my go-to makeup kits for travel, work and just something I like to keep in my purse.
Eyeshadows:
Top L - R: Ivory, Oyster Grey Metallic., Antique Pink Shimmer Wash, Quarry Shimmer Wash, Taffeta Metallic.
Bottom L - R: Brich, Heather Rose Shimmer Wash, Navy Charcoal, Gold Thread Metallic, Espresso.
Lips:
L-R: Grape Glitter, Pink Bouquet Glitter, Golden Topaz Glitter, Paisley Rose Shimmer.

I have to commend Bobbi Brown for not just doing all neutral beiges and taupes in this palette. I am happy to see rose, blue, soft violet all in the mix. These colors are nice in texture and are good quality. They are subtle enough for work, but with some black eyeliner or a Bobbi Brown gel liner you could definitely work a seriously glamorous look with these shades.

Personally, I am always resistant of lip/eye palette combos. I hate it when the powder from the eyeshadow gets stuck in the stickiness of the glosses. I would like to thank the GENIUS at Bobbi Brown that actually had the foresight to create this handy divider to keep my lips and eyes separate! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
