Bobbi Brown Peony & Python Palette Inspired By Tibi

$50.00 by Bobbi Brown at Sephora

Leave it to Bobbi Brown to create a spring makeup collection that easily transitions from winter and is so pretty that you can't help but want to take it with you everywhere. She was inspired by the lush peonies and Tibi's signature casual chic sensibility.

There are seven main product components to the collection: the Peony & Python Palette, the Pale Peony Rich Color Gloss, the Lilac Rich Lip Color SPF 12 lipstick, the Peony & Python Beauty Case (so, so chic), the Lash Glamour Extreme Lengthening Mascara in Plum, Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Mauve Shimmer and a limited edition Beauty Kit at Neiman Marcus with five additional products.

The star of the show is clearly the Peony & Python Palette. Filled with six super versatile shades and covered in a stunning peony & python fabric, I must admit that I'm tempted to carry it in my bag simply because it's pretty. Keeping within the theme (truly, I love a good theme), the colors within the palette are spot on. From a seriously matte black and eggplant to a shimmery silver and lilac, I dare you to run out of ways to wear the colors. Double dog dare you.

The other product from this collection worth checking out is the Lilac Rich Lip Color SPF 12. It can be tricky to find the right purple hued lipstick, but with Bobbi's natural sensibilities, she's created the perfect pink-meets-purple lippie. If you're at all curious about purples as they relate to your lips, then make a stop to check out the color in person.

Want a bonus? It's time for Bobbi Brown's Friends & Family event, now through April 13th.

The backstage at Rachel Roy was....mania, to say the least. The space was small and there were many, many people in a small space, all trying to do their job. Needless to say, I got in and got out as quickly as possible.

To mach Rachel Roy's inspiration of a modern noman, Bobbi Brown developed glamour for the jetsetter, complementing the rustic colors of the clothing with earthy shades and contoured cheeks. The skin was matte, a recurring theme this season, with a contoured and bronzed cheek. For the eyes, Bobbi selected Olive Sparkle eyeshadow, with Copper Cocoa Shimmerwash eyeshadow. To complete the eyes, Extreme Lash Glamour Lengthening mascara was used.

For the lips, the girls wore Twig Rich Lip Color.

As I was watching the final scenes of last night's Pretty Little Liars (episode 1x13, Know Your Frenemies), I couldn't help thinking to myself, as I do in every episode, that I was absolutely in love with Lucy Hale's makeup. Of course the look was nothing ground breaking or revolutionary, however I was inspired to recreate the look on myself this morning. (Please excuse everything but the makeup in the photo - a freezing rain is attacking NYC.)

To recreate Lucy's look, I used the following:

Foundation: MAC Pro Longwear

Powder: Prescriptives Magic (no longer available)

Eyebrows: Revlon Colorstay Brow Enhancer

Eyeshadow: First brown shadows on the left, top and bottom, from Too Faced's Glamour To Go II palette

Top eyeliner: Napoleon Perdis' Neo Noir Liquid Liner

Bottom eyeliner: Make Up For Ever's Aqua Eyes 24L (note: for night, I'll be adding Bobbi Brown's Eye Liner Khol in Black Chocolate (no longer available) for an extra dash of sultry)

Blush: MAC's Pet Me (no longer available)

Lipstick: MAC's Rebel

Are you a fan of Pretty Little Liars? Which character is your favorite? Bonus question: on a level of 1-10, how obsessed are you with Lucy Hale's looks (I'm totally an 8!)?
