Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eyeshadow

Did you see my blog post about my trip to Florida in April? 

Yes? Good, 10 brownie points to you. 

No? (this should not be an option) Well I suggest you go and read it right now...please ;) - http://karakillington.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/florida-disney-trip-2014.html

How is that related you might ask. Good Question. 
We went to a variety of malls and outlets while we there and I picked up a few bits and bobs.

While trekking around one of the outlets we came across a shop called 'The Company Store' which was filled with make up.Of course we went in no doubt about it. I struggled with choosing because it wasn't very big inside and hey didn't have as much as I thought they would but I settled on 2 things, one being this Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow.

I was in a bit of a rush so just picked this up because I liked the colour, once I got back to the hotel and looked at it I saw it was a shimmer wash eyeshadow which instead of being a block colour you can put all over your lid it just added a bit of gold shimmer which I didn't like at all and I was very disappointed.  

A few weeks later after I was home and had recovered from the holiday blues I pulled this out and decided to give it another go and I am so glad I did, you can apply this over the top of any eyeshadow to add a nice shimmer and it works for day and night, there a many different ways you can apply this and it is a simple step to add just the tiniest bit of definition.

(Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eyeshadow in Beige 17)

What a simple but sleek little case. Plain black trim featuring a little window with Bobbi Brown written across. This looks gorgeous in my makeup drawer/bag and adds just a touch of professionality. Also I may be weird but I love the sound it make when you open and shut it, there is something about it that is just truly satisfying.

Champagne. Bubbles. Confetti. That's what the colour reminds me of. I suppose that seems fancy and elegant but it is such a nice champagne/ gold shade that just makes your eyes stand and and glow, only it's a subtle glow which I much prefer. The colour of this eyeshadow is called Beige 17. 

This is a very pigmented eyeshadow. I lightly brushed my finger across the product to swatch and it came out very well, this will last a long time because you do not need to use very much at all. 

Overall this grew on me and I will hopefully be able to try out some other Bobbi Brown eyeshadow soon.
