I have been searching for this palette for months because I missed it when it was in the stores. Yes I know I'm slow. But life gets in the way of shopping sometimes. I had been away for 2 weeks, in that time I had been to Mexico, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. Amongst many highlights of the very hectic trip, I found a cosmetics shop at the Gilroy Premium Outlets, lo and behold, Bobbi Brown palettes galore! (If you could see me right now, you'd see the twinkle in my eyes)
I finally got my hands on the Limited Edition Navy and Nude palette and it was beautiful. It is a double-decker palette with subtle skin tone colours, matched with a perfect shade of navy. This gorgeous combination can bring you from day to night.
The shades in the palette are:
- Ivory: A creamy white
- Cement: A grey beige
- Blazing Star: A pale beige sparkle
- Beige Shimmer Wash: A shimmery nude
- Twilight Pink Metallic: A light golden pink
- Naked: A warm nude
- Slate: A medium grey
- Rich Navy: A deep royal blue
The Ivory works very well as a base as it helps brings out the lighter colours. As this palette has a lot of nude and light pinky tones, it's always advisable to use a base. The Rich Navy can double up as eyeliner and in my opinion, a navy eye liner does a very good job at brightening up tired eyes. This palette doesn't look like much, but neither does any other Bobbi Brown palette because all the colours look very similar and seemingly all skin toned. However, once you use it, you will notice that the colours compliment each other seamlessly and creates a very polished look. It was a real steal because this is was launched sometime last year, it only cost me US $42.
