Bobbi Brown Custom Palettes.

I am very curious about these palettes, even more so now that Julia from All About the Pretty raved about them so much when I saw her last week. Bobbi Brown knows palettes, and I think she has another winner on her hands with her newly designed Custom Palettes.

You select from a three pan or a four pan palette, both of which are mirrored, and you select from Eye Shadow, Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow, Blush or Shimmer Blush - or a combo of any - and fill up the palette.

First, I want to know where are the lip shades? Surely they are in development, as we need our Bobbi Brown Lip Color and Lip Gloss.

Another product I think that needs to be made in pan palette size is a bronzer - oh, and a concealer and powder too. That would be perfect.

Next, as I am looking to come up with my mix of shades, I notice my favorite Bobbi shades are not there. Agh - I cannot live without my Smoke shadow as I use it as my eye liner almost daily! But I suppose I could throw my single pan in separately - if I must;).

Really, this palette system is a fabulous idea as it brings us back to the basics of Bobbi Brown.   I would fill up a four pan palette with shadows and a three pan palette with the blush. Each empty palette costs $10, the shadows sell for $20 each and the blush for $22 each.

I cannot wait to see what more becomes available, because if I know Bobbi, she will have all of her regular shades available and add more products for the ultimate customization.

I adore Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, and love the idea of creating a custom palette!
Thanks Teri!

I just think that the palette is outrageously expensive! If you compare that she charges from $45 to $55 for her seasonal palettes vs. $90 or more for this new custom palette, it is ridiculous! specially with so many other makeup options out there. In my opinion, Bobbi Brown products are good but not necessarily the best of the best in the market to be paying almost a $100 for a palette. I rather pay that amount of money for Nars products that give you better color pay off in eyeshadows and natural looking blushes.

While that is a bit pricey for a palette you do get to choose your own shades and product. Is it worth it? I guess it depends on how much you love Bobbi Brown Cosmetics and the ability to only carry what you want in one small palette. :) I'm still a bit undecided myself but thanks for the heads up.

These palettes contain larger pans than a normal smaller palette.

If you look at the individual eye shadows, you can see how large they are and her products last and last. I think if you are a Bobbi fan, than this is definitely a must have. And it always seems that there is one color in a pre-made palette that goes unused. I think it is worth the extra $ to have exactly what you want in the palette.
