When the word "rose" is in the title of a collection... You all know that I am going to go crazy over it. I was very excited when I first heard about this collection but my excitement dimmed a bit when I saw the "denim" colored portion of the main palette in this collection. If I had brown eyes, I would have been all over that palette, but the navy blue shades in it just kill it for me. The Bobbi Brown website gives the following description of this collection, "Feeling Rock & Roll? Give us 5 minutes. We'll make you a star".Time to unleash the roses...
Denim & Rose Face Palette - Packed with deep, shimmering blues and icy grays and pinks for eyes and fresh rose shades for lips and cheeks, this palette is the beauty equivalent of dressed-up denim. Whether you're in the mood for flushed cheeks or a sparkling, smoky eye, you'll have plenty of options for day or night. For eyes: Navajo Eye Shadow (creamy pinkish white), Gray Denim Eye Shadow (medium cool gray), Pink Granite Sparkle Eye Shadow (marble gray-pink), Dark Rinse Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow (deep bright blue). For cheeks: Pink Rose Blush (medium pink rose). For lips: Cool Rose Creamy Lip Color (medium bright pink shimmer), Hot Rose Lip Gloss (bright pink), Iced Lilac Glitter Lip Gloss (silver pink marble), Indie Rose Creamy Lip Color (medium neutral rose).
Denim & Rose Mini Brush Set - Small enough to fit into your purse or office drawer, Denim & Rose Mini Brush Set is ideal when space is at a premium. Features four mini brushes in a cool denim case: Mini Blush Brush, Mini Lip Brush with Cap, Mini Angle Eye Shadow Brush, Mini Eye Liner Brush.
Extreme Party Mascara - Extreme Build. Endless Volume. Exceptional Separation. The formula stays flexible, so each coat goes on as fresh as the first - immediately or hours later - without clumping, smudging, or flaking. Think of it as the world's first touch-up mascara. Now available in limited edition Denim.
- Denim - navy
Long-Wear Gel Eye Liner - This award-winning liner gives you the look of liquid liner with the ease & feel of a gel formula. Long-wearing, water-resistant color glides on and lets you get it just right before it dries - then stays without a smear or crease.
- Denim Ink - navy blue
Shimmer Lip Gloss - Shimmer Lip Gloss offers beautiful, non-sticky shine with a touch of iridescence and is perfect on its own or over your favorite lipstick. Formulated with Aloe extract to soothe and soften lips; Vitamins C & E for anti-oxidant protection; and Jojoba and Avocado Oils to keep lips moisturized.
- Raspberry - rosy pink
Highlighter Pen - For gleaming cheekbones with extra pop. Lightweight and luminescent, the liquid formula creates a dewy, all-day glow and won't settle in your pores. Available in three shades.
- Bronze - golden bronze
- Opal - soft opal pink
- Rose - rose pink
Sparkle Eye Shadow - Bobbi's grown-up take on glitter. This lightweight formula lights up your eyes with a combination of shimmering pearls and fine glitter. Thanks to its creamy, translucent base, it glides on smoothly and won't crease or fall onto your cheeks.
- Denim - blue sparkle
Ultra Fine Eye Liner Brush - Easy to hold and control, this slim, tapered Ultra Fine Eye Liner Brush creates a flawless line. The brush hairs are finely pointed and tightly packed for precise application.
This is one of those collections that I like a lot of the shades in theory but would never wear them. I don't like the overwhelming amount of blue eye products in this collection, I find it very polarizing for those of us who don't like to wear blue eye makeup. That being said, I only want two items from this new collection. I want the new Shimmer Lip Gloss shade, a rose shade that will become a staple of mine. I am also curious about the Highlighter Brush and would like to see how the Opal shade would work out for my skintone.
