Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves - Page 25

So I bought the corrector and the concealer/powder duo today. I gotta say I really, really like the corrector. I got it in dark peach and it does help with the bit of darkness under my eyes. I have hereditary bags, so I wasn't expecting any miracles there, but it did help with the darkness. I just have to make sure the skin under my eyes isn't dry so it won't cake up. The concealer is less impressive, but still not bad. It doesn't seem to cover the way my mufe concealers do. I'll keep playing with it, though. Perhaps it's all in the application. I'm just glad I finally woke up and realized I needed to get that corrector.

Anybody get a chance to see the new Miami collection?

 

 

Funny, I was swatching this again today and the colour payoff was better than I remembered... The colours are pretty. 

 

I'm getting tempted by some of the cream shadows, which is weird, because I normally don't like cream shadows at all. I was looking at two of the new shades- Smoked Topaz and Velvet Plum and they're both gorgeous. What are people's thoughts on them? How about the metallic finish ones? I was kind of tempted by Black Pearl as well. 

I have Black Pearl and I love it. I wear it as a base under purples alot. 

 

 

I picked up pieces from the new fall collection today @Nordstroms. Desert Twilight. It is a very pretty collection. I got the bronzer/blush duo, Twilight Ink e/l, Twilight n/p and Firefly l/g.

 

Wow, I hadn't even heard about this one yet. Although I'm envious of all the new things appearing down there, part of me is glad we don't get the autumn collections until early August. It gives my brain a chance to adjust. 

I got a few of the Twilight items as well - can't wait for them to get here! 

 

I love the Shimmer Inks....

 

Kate, I'm on the fence about the cream shadows.....I like them ok, but I think of the EL brands, EL is actually my favorite for their consistency, which is very creamy.  I don't often reach for the couple of BB ones that I have.......

 

Thanks for the advice, Shypo. I might hold off on these for a while. 

Katred!! biggest hugs!!

 

passing on the BB collex in toto

Not Katred but it sure is good to see you back!

We've missed your voice... and your pink pants...

Pink pants in attendance

 

April!!

 

still passin on BB collex.. lol

I like the look of the new brush set in the taillight collection- I wonder if Bb will revamp the existing brushes to match the new style?

I got the gel liner in a kit that comes with a little brush, and I loved it..

The brush helps a lot, it's really easy to use..

 

I also have the corrector, and I didnt love it that much.. I think the powder does nothing for me really

Bobbi Brown DESERT  TWILIGHT Collection.   Has anyone bought or tried instore the mini brush set?  Any comments great appreciated!!

I love Bobbi Brown blushes does anyone have the shimmer brick in Plum. was that any good?

FYI, anyone tried the Brightening collection for Spring? I've completely fallen in love with Porcelain Pearl. I feel like it instantly wakes my face up (even if the rest of me is still asleep) and brightens in exactly the right way. 

I just brought one yesterday. I'm going to give it a try.

Any review or opinion about Bobbi Brown skincare ? Thanks !

I've never been tempted to try it because it is way expensive.  Outside of that, I've personally not come across anyone who uses it.

 

For awhile I used the night cream and eye cream. I liked them both, but nothing over the top amazing.

Has anyone tried the new sheer lipstick line? I understand that they're actually quite pigmented for a semi-sheer formula.

 

Also curious to hear reviews of the Lilac Rose collection. Is the palette worth picking up? I have been so eager to find a mauve-toned neutral palette, but the reviews have been mixed as far as I've seen.

I haven't tried them on my lips, but I swatched them on my hand and I would agree that they are pretty pigmented. In comparison to the Chanel RCS and YSL Rouge Volupte Shines, they were less 'slick' and felt more like a lipstick than a balm (whereas I'd say the RCS and Volupte shines err more towards the balmy side of things in feel. The colours were nice, but seemed more muted than the promo shot. Typical Bobbi Brown style though - very wearable colours. I liked passion fruit in particular, might go back for that actually!
