Review: Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate Eye Palette


 
So as you may have seen in my Sephora haul post a few weeks ago, I picked up the super sleek palette from Bobbi Brown. I'm always on the lookout for a nice neutral palette as I'm the kind of gal who gets the most use out of something simple!

 
As you can see, this palette has a variety of shades ranging from an almost completely white shade to a rich brown with a few shimmers throw into the mix. The neutrals are perfect for work, but with a little bit of touch up and added shimmer you are ready for a night on the town!

 
I've always been a fan of Bobbi Brown packaging, sleek and simple. Who can resist?! And this palette offers enough variety for a bunch of different looks but is small enough to throw into your purse for whenever you may need a touch up.

 

I apologize for the lack of quality in these swatches! The days have become so gloomy that having enough time to take decent photos is rare. With that said, I do love these shades but the staying power is somewhat disappointing. I ususally add some eye primer and end up getting decent wear out of these. The white shade is nearly unrecognizable but I promise you it comes out very, very light. The matte shades are very pigmented which is great, but fair warning that if you have a heavy hand the darkest shade could become an issue (which is what happened to me)! The shimmery shades are actually very sheer, so I usually end up layering them up over one of the matte shades.

 Although I am slightly disappointed in the staying power of these shades, the shades are too pretty to pass up!
