Hello!
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow in the shade Sand Dollar - review
Recently, I’m more and more into creamy eyeshadows because they are a good option for quick and easy eye makeup. In my collection, there aren’t many creamy eyeshadows but I love all of them: mainly from Stilla and NYX. By the way, I bought the NYX cream eyeshadow in the color #5 for the second time.
Creamy eyeshadows are great to wear as an accent as well as all over my eyelids.
A search of a good gray-brows shade led me to the Bobbi Brown makeup. I bought her shade Sand Dollar with a good discount.

Bobbi's bestselling and award-winning shadow is formulated with new polymer technology and provides superior adhesion to eyelids, so color stays true. It glides on comfortably—leaving a soft, velvety finish for up to 12 hours of water-, sweat-, humidity-, and transfer-resistant wear—and dries to a flexible, matte veil of color that won't crease, flake, or fade.
Design
The product was initially packed with the branded cardboard box that was sealed with a sticker. The jar inside is rather heavy with a screw-on plastic top.

The texture is pleasant to the touch. It’s creamy and bouncy. It’s very easy to pick up with a brush and my finger too. The blending is excellent and the color can be packed without any patches or stripes.

I opted for a natural beige shade with a gray undertone. And it was such a hit:

The maker prompts for using the fair shades as highlighters. I think that the Sand Dollar shade will be perfect for tanned skin people as a highlighter.

The shade is complicated and really pearlescent. It looks super on my eyes, even when I wear it solo.

Ingredients

Most of the time I apply this Bobbi Brown cream eyeshadow with the help of a synthetic brush. Currently, the Zoeva 223 Cream Shades is my all time go-to brush.

Surely, you can apply it with your fingertips but I don’t find this option hygienic.
Result - super nude. ♥

Overall:
Sand Dollar is the basic shade of a creamy eyeshadow by Bobbi Brows. I can wear it solo, as well as a makeup primer or as an accent all over eyes.
This shade can also play the role of the highlighter.
It doesn’t require any mumbo-jumbo. A couple of strokes with a brush or fingertips and the product is there. So, I can highly recommend it to makeup newbies.
Comfort feelings throughout the wear
It stays put till the moment I take my makeup off. No color fading during the wear
Excellent blending
The price for the full size is $30. If you’re not ready to splurge on this so much, I’m sure that it’s still possible to find a cheaper dupe, which won’t be worse quality-wise.
For me, this product is worth 5 stars. I’ve been using it for more than a year and the texture is still the same - not drier or worse in consistency.
Thanks a lot for your attention!
