Random Acts of Swatching: Bobbi Brown Brights Palette

Not too long ago, I highlighted a lovely little palette that happens to feature brilliant hues from all across the spectrum, in miniature! Bobbi Brown’s Brights is the perfect palette for introducing bright pops of playful color into your beauty repertoire. Much like your feisty grandmother, Brights has a vivid personality in a teeny tiny package. Don’t be fooled by the seemingly ordinary plain exterior, for the interior is anything but.

The Cools

The Warms:

As you can see, Brights brings an abundance of color, and packs some phenomenal cosmic color in an itty bitty little space. If you can still get your hands on Bobbi Brown’s Brights, please do!

Beauty Obsession- Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick

We already know that I am given to flights of fancy when it comes to brands and products, oftentimes frittering and fussing between a million different things of the cosmetic variety. Conversely, we also know that I am prone to bouts of fanatical obsession with products, clutching them to my bosom while darting my eyes from side to side for fear of someone stealing said product from me. It's a tough life, I know.

My latest obsession is flawless skin and subtle shimmer by way of skin highlighters. With sunshine being a more common thing around these parts, I have searched far and wide for the perfect highlighting product to compliment the season and give me that shining, luminescent, faux sun-kissed shimmer. Cue our resident makeup superhero, Bobbi Brown to give me what I crave in the form of the mini Shimmer Brick in Sandstone..

One Concealer to Rule Them All, Bobbi Brown's Brightening Spot Treatment Corrector with SPF 25

Three girls walk into a department store and approach the makeup counter. They walk purposefully towards a nearby makeup artist, and present their scenarios.

Girl A loves to look flawless, but doesn't want to be bothered with a face covered in foundation
Girl B has a big deadline coming up, and has sprouted a couple of spots overnight that she needs to make disappear
and Girl C had a fun night out, with her undereye area is showing it the next morning like a purple beacon of shame

The makeup artist thinks to herself, and then declares that what all three girls need is a great concealer. One that conceals and brightens simultaneously, while offering up the benefits of sun protection and skin refining ingredients that lighten discolorations over time. All three girls left with huge smiles, and their matching shade of Bobbi Brown's Brightening Spot Treatment Corrector with SPF 25.

Cloudy Skies FOTD

As promised, here is a face of the day using Bobbi Brown's spring collection. This one was inspired by the grey and cloudy skies I saw upon looking out my window on a particularly dreary Saturday morning.

The look:

Bobbi Brown Color Strips, Boxes of All-In-One Goodness

I am not one to go the moderate route in anything I do. In addition to a clothing and shoe shopping addiction, I also possess a certain predisposition to snatch up each and every makeup palette I can find. I cannot even begin to describe how much joy I feel when I come across a wonderful little box of all in one goodness, easy to use and ready at my fingertips whenever I need it.

My weekday existence is an unfortunate conflict of interests, as I am an eight to five corporate girl who loves her sleep, but also loves her elaborate makeup looks. I also adore color, but cannot go overboard for fear of giving my corporate coworkers a mild heart attack. In the dichotomy that is my life, colorful face palettes have become essential for their ability to bring the quick and easy with a little something extra (color!). Corporate Adina and makeup artist Adina must both be appeased, and on this particular spring they have been with the  Bobbi Brown Color Strips Collection. Song and dance numbers have ensued,  as I cannot stop heaping the praise on these little wonders.Waking up in the morning and throwing on a subtly colorful five minute face has never been easier.
