Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves

[elektra513]

Sephora used to carry bobbi brown a looooong time ago (back when Iman had the I-iman collection--which was also there) but then they phased it (well both lines) out. My guess is that maybe bobbi wanted to re-establish her brand...who knows.

During the past year or so, I've tried dozens of liquid foundations. My search for "the one" has ended. I love Bobbi Brown Oil Free liquid foundation (GOLDEN and WARM ALMOND). Also, a tip on Spectra led me to the sheer powder in GOLDEN ORANGE. I would have never tried it because it looks too light. But applied very lightly to set my foundation, it's perfect. The powder looks translucent on my brown skin. I also have BB Sheer powder in BASIC BROWN. I rarely use it since discovering GOLDEN ORANGE.

Will you be using the creamy concealer with your new foundation? If so, what shades do you think are good? I am matched to the warm almond foundation stick. I want to try golden in the winter time, but I'm a little unsure (SAs are always trying to match me to 7 or 7.5) so I haven't tried it yet.

I've never been a huge BB person, but the Earth Metal eye/lip holiday palette is GORGEOUS! I literally squealed over here when I saw the picture online!

I saw the new metallic long wear eyeshadows last night and they are gorgeous in the pot, but they are not for me. They may appeal to some, but Bobbi should have named them sparkle long wear eyeshadows as there really isn't anything metallic about them. They are very sheer and the color payoff is very subtle and the sparkle is high. The formula is no where near what the long-wear shadows that she has now, so they really are to be worn alone - I wouldn't call them greasy, but they are "soft" whereas the current long wear shadow really set and you know that they aren't going any where. I like color. That's just me. They will appeal to some, just not me. Just thought I'd let you ladies know. :-)

I'm tempted to order this as most concealers are too yellow for me and make my undereye circles look some horrid shade of greenish-gray.

ELEKTRA ... No, I don't use a concealer so I can't provide any advice. In the liquid, the Warm Almond is a couple shades darker than Golden. I thought it was my shade so I purchased it. It didn't work. So I use a little of it on my chin to blend into the Golden. The Golden looked too light and too yellow until I apply it then it's perfect. You can get a sample at Nordstroms to try at home.

Lauren Bush partnered with Bobbi Brown for the latest installment of her successful Feed bag line. The result of their collaboration, an organic makeup bag, will be filled with three of Brown’s best-selling lip glosses in Petal, Rose Sugar, and Aubergine when it goes on sale in October. It also does double duty as a clutch, and proceeds from its $50 price tag go to the United Nations World Food Program’s Food for Work initiative.

Their gel liner is amazing, their foundations are among the best (and Bobbi Brown herself formulated them with yellow tones as it's her belief that yellow tones are most natural, vs say pink tones) ... cream blushes are awesome, lipsticks (Brown lipstick, the 1st one Bobbi created, is suitable for almost anyone) ... her concealer is a favorite, (a pink corrector/yellow concealor, powder finish) and her books are must haves !!

[noahlowryfan]

I might have to try her foundation. All of MAC foundations that I have tried always turn orange on me and I don't like that.

[LoveStoned]

a definitely bobby brown must have for me is shimmer brick in apricot i use it for my eyes, cheeks, and on all other spots of my face that need to be highlighted. a trully great product! :top:

I love BB's shimmerbrick (I have Gold and Apricot). I also have one eyeshadow called Pink Bronze which is shimmery and pigmented. I really want to try her gel liners and also the Pewter Chrome Metallic e/s from her Holiday collection.

[Sass]

I went to Nieman Marcus looking to get that chrome mettalic lip color and they didn't have any of this collection. The MA who worked at that counter didn't know, if when, that stuff would be coming. Is it just online?

[Jupiter19]

I've seen it in Lord and Taylor, and in Nordstrom (where I bought it)

[jackiel718]

I own the pink, platinum pink, and nude shimmerbricks. I loove the nude one to sweep on all over. It adds a glow and warmth all at the same time, also love using it for sweeps of color on my eyes. How do you apply your bricks ?

Same here. I've never tried BB, but that holiday palette is calling my name. It's expensive though.

[meemsoes]

where's the cheapest place to buy BB - would i be right in assuming ebay stuff is likely to be counterfeits?

[Sabrunka]

Hi guys! I just saw the new chrome collection and wow, thats all I can say. Would anyone here possibly do a cp for me?! This line is no where in Canada where I can get to easily, and no sites online will ship the products to Canada!! I don't know why, saks, nm, nordies AND bb's website all wont allow shipping to canada or in specific, shipping the palette to me!! ITS SO LAME lol.

[Disneytwinmom]

My absolute favorite is the Pink Quartz Shimmerbrick LE. I really wish she'd make that a permanent one. I also recommend the Pink and Nude Shimmerbricks, and e/s in Naked, Bronzed Pink, Nude Beach, Pewter, Rock, and Stone. The "Must have" set is also a good value, was Nordstrom Exclusive but is now on BB Website ($10 more than Nordstrom's price was though).
