someday last year during a trip to the Philippines my parents trekked deep into the heart of the jungle on a trip to see a huge python (their concept of a great time), however when they lastly found the legendary beast, it [turned out to be] so desensitized to tourists that it virtually posed for the cameras.
When they returned house to California as well as showed me the pictures, I still couldn’t bear to look at them without shivering. You see, I’m one of those women averse to weird crawly things…even tame ones that work in the tourism industry.

Needless to say, I was on the proverbial python fence about the style of Bobbi Brown’s newest makeup collection, Peony & Python. A partnership with garments line Tibi, the spring collection slithers onto counters next month (but it’s already offered online).
Snakes as well as flowers? — the pairing seemed a bit available to me, so I did some digging. turns out that new York-based Tibi frequently integrates contrasting aspects into their garments styles — masculine as well as feminine, strong as well as muted, younger as well as sophisticated/mature.
After costs a long time with Peony & Python, I believe I see what Bobbi as well as Tibi were shooting for since the products are both wonderful as well as sinister, ranging from sheer to opaque in pigmentation, with delicate colors dancing together with harder-edged shades.

The seven-piece restricted edition collection’s color combination blooms with purple, gray, plum, pink, taupe as well as mauve. It includes a printed makeup situation (see the snake skin pattern?), an eyeshadow palette, a lip gloss, two mascaras, one lipstick as well as a set for face, eyes as well as cheeks (exclusive to Neiman Marcus).
A few much more notes on the collection…
Peony & Python combination ($50) — While I like the print as well as the look of the case, the zipper’s challenging to open as well as close. The darker shadows — Plum Orchid (a matte plum) as well as Eclipse (a matte black) — apply opaque, while the rest of the shadows are sheer. I occur to like that about them since I believe it makes them simple to blend in a hurry. however to accomplish a bolder eye look, it likewise implies having to spend the time to layer. A adorable as well as helpful palette, however it’s rather spendy, too. makeup as well as charm blog RATING: B
Peony & Python Collection solely at Neiman Marcus ($95) — This six-piece sub-set includes the Ultra fine eyeliner Brush, small deal with Blender clean brushes, Pink Peony Illuminating Bronzer, Black Mauve Shimmer Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner, Pink Lilac Brightening Lip Gloss as well as a matching zip-up bring pouch. The standouts to me are the Bronzer (such a delicate pink flush!) as well as Long-Wear Gel eyeliner (an unusual purplish black). The cost provides me stomach trouble, however die-hard Bobbi and/or Tibi fans may still want to splurge. makeup as well as charm blog RATING: B
Pale Peony rich color Gloss ($22) — This unscented, unflavored purplish pink gloss gently lusters on the lips. I can see myself using this thick as well as sticky lippie with purple as well as taupe eye looks all the time, however I sure desire Bobs had thrown in a bit much more product for the price. makeup as well as charm blog RATING: B+
Lilac rich Lip color SPF 12 ($22) — A full-coverage creamy purple lipstick that feels deliciously light on my lips. like the pale Peony rich color Gloss, it’s likewise unscented as well as unflavored. makeup as well as charm blog RATING: B+
Lash beauty extreme Lenthening Mascara in Plum ($24) — You understand me as well as my obsession with drag queen lashes. This mascara lengthens as well as thickens well, however it still has some space to grow (turn up that drama, Bobs! method up). I do like the plummy color, though, as well as that it really shows up on my lashes. makeup as well as charm blog RATING: B

S. Hvordan går det i dag? Jeg håper du spiste en god lunsj. Jeg er på vei til San Francisco i ettermiddag for å bryte brød med leser/gjesteforfatter Audrey. Prognosen krever suppe så vel som salat.
