  • The Gift of Bobbi-Bobbi Brown’s 2019 Luxe Gems Holiday Collection

    It is no secret that I am a total Bobbi girl and nothing gets me in the Christmas spirit like Bobbi Brown’s holiday collection! Think luxury, class and lots of sparkle because this year’s Luxe Gems collection is truly unlike any of her past holiday collections. Pop the Prosecco and lets take a look at this gorgeous collection!

    Luxe Jewel Lipstick in “Ruby Slipper”

    Can we take a moment for this INSANELY gorgeous lipstick?! The name fits the product perfectly as this lipstick is beautifully reminiscent of Dorothy’s infamous ruby slippers.

    Luxe Liquid Lip Rich Lustre

    Continuing on with the lip collection, these liquid lipsticks are the perfect stocking stuffer! The doe foot applicator gives a bit of extra coverage (and extra sparkle!) I kindly received the shades “Sparkling Sand” and Crystal Ball.” Crystal Ball gives a clear, slightly iridescent sheen to the lips while Sparkling Sand is a true gorgeous bronze.

    Luxe Eyeshadow Rich Gemstone in “Opal Moonstone”

    This is my favorite Bobbi eyeshadow formula as it literally smoothes onto the eyes like silk. It is rich in pigment but what I love is the sophisticated sparkle that it gives. Not too shimmery, definitely not glittery. Just perfect.

    Luxe Illuminating Powder

    This illuminating powder is truly what the brand is all about. Understated glamour that feels extra special but can be used daily. I love that this is called an “illuminating powder” and not a highlighter because you could absolutely use this all over the face for that “lit from within” glow.

    As with the entire collection, the packaging is so festive and beautiful. This would be perfect for anyone that loves a bit of shimmer!

    Last but not least, the true star of the show!

    Luxe Gems Eyeshadow Palette

    This.eyeshadow.palette. Oh em to the G! Words cannot describe how gorgeous this palette is so I literally just took a thousand pictures of it.

    You’re welcome.

    The vibrant jewel tones are so perfect for the holidays as they give off just the right amount of color and sheen. The formula is silky, pigmented but not overly intense (which I love.) Don’t be intimidated by the rich blue and purples as they are buildable but fool proof. Use your finger to apply just a wash of color or apply foundation on the lid first then layer on the shadow using Bobbi’s eyeshadow brush to really pack a bit of punch that’s perfect for any holiday party!

    Nothing gets me in the Christmas spirit like Bobbi Brown’s holiday collection and this year’s lineup of products is truly spectacular!

    Let me know in the comments below if you decide to pick up any of these beauties for a special person in your life (or for yourself!)

    I hope that you have the most beautiful holiday season with those that you love. I am sending you so much holiday cheer!

    Love and warm Christmas wishes, Carrie xo
