Pop Beauty Smokey Rose Wallet.

Pop Beauty’s Smokey Rose Wallet was one of my picks for Mother's Day as this beauty is definitely a multi-taker. But as I have been going to it more and more, I thought I would write more about it.

The classy crock wallet is really a full face kit with all you need to create a soft smokey rose look. The cheek and lip colors are coordinated to work flawlessly with the 12 select eye shades, making anything you pick work. And if you might have a hard time, the back of the wallet contains detailed instructions on how to create a foolproof smokey rose look.

The kit contains 12 eye shades, 4 cheek glows, 1 berry stain and 1 baby pink lip glow. Plus a full size pro duo eye brush for making the shades glide on beautifully.

Pop Beauty’s founder Sara Strand even gave me some application tips and tricks to make this wallet and the shades work together seamlessly.

Use any of the 4 eyeliners to line and define eye shape
Apply medium toned color onto lid and blend into crease with brush that is included
Sweep light color over brow bone, in the corner of the eye and dot in the middle of the eye to open up eye
Apply nude cheek color all over cheekbone and the pink color on the apples of the cheeks only
Finally stain lips with cranberry stain and dot pastel pink in the middle of top and bottom lip for a plumper look

Smokey Rose Wallet is exclusively sold in Sephora and online at sephora.com.

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.
