Bobbi Brown Downtown Beauty Collection Disappoints

I got the Bobbi Brown Downtown Beauty Collection purchased from QVC at the beginning of the month and was so excited to try it. It was a complete set of eye shadow, lip color, lip gloss, blush and gel liner. And well, I am sadly disappointed.

The first let down was the lip color. They just didn't moisten or glide on my lips. The lip color only satisfied me when topped with the gloss. The gloss by itself also didn't wow me at all.

Several days into using the collection, I am still trying to get a handle on the eye gel. I know this is Bobbi's best product but it's just not working for me. Applying it is not as easy as I thought. I get better results using Urban Decay 24/7. I also noticed that the gel liner tends to transfer to my upper lid. (I don't have deep set eyes.)

The eye shadow colors are nice and universal enough in my opinion as is the blush but after having to wash my make-up off this morning because of the mess I made with the liner, I switched back to Benefit's Sugarbomb and was totally happy with the result. That one box can be used on my eyes and cheeks and the result would be approved by Bobbi, I think. (This reminds me of her Shimmerbrick.) To line my eyes, I took out my Uraban Decay 27/4 Crash, put mascara on my eye lashes and put on Benefit Liar Lips lipstick and was set to face the day with a little sparkle and glow.
