(*affiliate links) This Bobbi Brown Holiday Wish List Deluxe Collection set has caught my eyes for a while but I didn’t plan to get this until recently! The item that I am most interested in is The Essential Warm Cranberry palette!
I’ve only seen this Bobbi Brown Warm Cranberry palette* available from her website but not other retailers that I commonly shop. Together with the beautiful emerald green makeup bag, I think this Bobbi Brown Holiday Wish List Deluxe Collection is a great set for makeup lovers! This kit retails for $99 USD and it has recently come down to $69 USD.

Items in this Bobbi Brown Holiday Wish List Deluxe Collection
The makeup bag
First of all, I love the color of this makeup or travel bag! The color of this pretty bag is emerald green that is hard to find! It is made of synthetic materials but very well-made and feels luxurious.
There is a handle for holding the bag so that when it is fully loaded, it’ll be much easier to carry. Both the Bobbi Brown logo at the front and the tag of the zipper make the bag looks expensive. The zipper is so smooth and no choking. The dimension of the bag measures approx. 8.5″ x 5.5″ x 2″.
The interior of the bag has 3 zip pockets that makes the bag very organized. I always have problem of keeping uncapped brushes clean and protected whenever I throw one or two into a makeup bag for travel. I don’t need to worry about it now using this bag! Besides that, the bag itself is quite spacious.

Illuminating Bronzing Powder
The next item in this Bobbi Brown Holiday Wish List Deluxe Collection is the Illuminating Bronzing Powder* in Aruba. Bobbi Brown’s Illuminating Bronzing Powder retails for $44 individually for 0.31 oz or 9 g of product.
The first ingredient of this bronzer is talc. There is no detectable fragrance to it.
I have never used Bobbi Brown’s bronzer before, let alone using bronzer in my makeup routines.
However, I do think this is a nice bronzer. It is relatively light on my skin tone. The powder is not matte and has some sheen in it. Although I think it won’t show up shimmery or something when it is applied on the face.

The Essential Multicolor Warm Cranberry palette
The eye shadow palette in this Bobbi Brown Holiday Wish List Deluxe Collection is the Warm Cranberry palette. Each of Bobbi Brown’s The Essential Multicolor eye shadow palette* retails for $45 USD, containing 0.03 oz or 1.13 g for each of the 4 square pan eye shadows, and 0.08 oz or 2.55 g for the larger shade at the bottom.
The first ingredient for all the shades in this palette is talc. There is also no fragrance.
There are 3 Bobbi Brown eye shadow formulae in this palette, the metallic, shimmer wash and matte.
Unlike the Holiday 2020 eye shadow palettes released recently by Bobbi Brown, the Golden Slipper* (reviewed here), Modern Symphony* (reviewed here), High Barre* (reviewed here), Ember Lights* (reviewed here) and Luxe Encore* (reviewed here), this Warm Cranberry palette has a different feel to the touch, it is much softer and every shade are pigmented and smooth.

Perfectly Defined Gel Eyeliner in Chocolate Truffle
The next item is the Perfectly Defined Gel Eyeliner* in Chocolate Truffle. It retails for $28 USD individually, containing 0.01 oz or 0.35 g of product. According to their ingredient list, there is no talc in this eyeliner. No fragrance was detected either.
Chocolate Truffle is a deep brown color, just like the shade Expresso for the Bobbi Brown gel liner in a pot.
It runs very smooth and no skipping at all. Very creamy. However, I have no experience on how fast will their gel eyeliner dry up.
Smokey Eye Mascara
This Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara* retails for $32 USD individually with 0.2 oz or 5.9 ml of product. This one in this Holiday Wish List Deluxe Collection is a full size.
I do like this Smokey Eye Mascara for giving volume to my lashes, however, like many other mascaras in the market, it starts to smudge on me after wearing it for about 2 hours.
Angle Eye Shadow Brush
The handle of this angle eye shadow brush is black, which is different from the light yellow of the regular Bobbi Brown brushes. But the shape of this angle brush in the Bobbi Brown Holiday Wish List Deluxe Collection looks very similar to the regular Angle eye shadow brush*, which retails individually for $37 USD. My guess is that the one in this set is a mini version of the original.
There is nowhere mentioning whether this brush is synthetic or natural hair.
Crushed Oil-infused gloss in In the Buff
The next item in this Bobbi Brown Holiday Wish List Deluxe Collection is the Crushed Oil-infused gloss* in In the Buff. This lip gloss retails for $29 USD individually with 0.2 oz or 6 ml of product. This one in this set is a full size.
I have reviewed these Crushed Oil-infused lip gloss before (here). You can check that out for more pictures and a detailed review if interested. In brief, they are very nice and hydrating on the lip. This is my favorite lip gloss formula.
Vitamin Enriched Face Base
The final product in this Bobbi Brown Holiday Wish List Deluxe Collection is a trial size sample for the Vitamin Enriched Face Base*. This is a sample containing 0.05 fl. oz. or 1.5 ml of product. A full size of 1.7 fl. oz. or 50 ml jar retails for $62 USD.
It is free of Parabens, Phthalates, Sulfates, Animal Derived Ingredients, Gluten, Sulfites, Mineral Oil, Tricolsan and Formaldehyde.
I have tried this Vitamin Enriched Face Base before. It was very hydrating and creamy. It also quickly absorbed into the skin and felt great. Although I did not notice a big change in the wear of my makeup.
Swatches and eye looks for the products in this Bobbi Brown Holiday Wish List Deluxe Collection
All of these products swatched and perform nicely. I think the eye shadow palette in Warm Cranberry is my favorite. The shades are very smooth and pigmented. They also blended easily with an eyeshadow brush.
In this eye look 1, I used all the shades in the Warm Cranberry palette. All the shades perform well on the lid. I also added a coat of the Smokey Eye Mascara to create this look.
In eye look 2, I used all the shades except the matte terracotta. I wanted to created a look that is more subtle and lighter. The eyeliner used was Chocolate Truffle from this kit. As in the first look, I coated the lashes with the Smokey Eye Mascara.
I like the looks created. The Warm Cranberry palette is a stand-alone palette for me.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I really like the products in this Bobbi Brown Holiday Wish List Deluxe Collection kit. My favorite products are the Warm Cranberry palette and the makeup bag.
This set is also a great value and a good deal, especially for Bobbi Brown, which is a relatively pricey brand.
I would definitely recommend it if you don’t have most of these products. I think it can be a very nice and all-rounded gift to people who like makeups.
