The first time I bought a Bobbi Brown product was months ago. I ordered the Hydrating Face Toner online after reading good reviews. The price was acceptable and I love hydrating toners...OMG, That was bad, really bad. It smells horribly. I couldn't use it (I tried for about 3-4 times): the smell stayed on my face too long. I wondered if all her products had a strong scent as the toner. I didn't have the time to go to my nearest Macy's cosmetics counter to check on that, so I put buying other BBrown products 'on hold'.
When the F&F sale was up last week, I thought it was a good opp. to try the other products I've been interested in for a long time. I ordered a few things on the 11th and it arrived on the 15th (last Friday). That was fast! I wanted to share some pics and swatches. The back of my arm is NC30-32 -ish skin. Click twice on all pics for bigger versions.
I ordered:
1. Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick in 4.5 Warm Natural (Reg. $40 USD for 0.31oz) -- I've been wanting to try a BBrown foundation for too long, but right now I wanted something different from all the different foundations that I have - mostly liquid . My first impression is...Wow! This shade is a great match for my NC 37-40 skin and it does looks like skin, very natural. Gotta see how it performs, though I know (at least on me) cream foundations don't last more than 4hrs on my combination skin. To me, foundation sticks are for makeup that I will not have on for a long time and/or a quick makeup fix.
2. Bobbi Brown Corrector in Dark Peach (Reg. $22 USD for 0.06oz) -- This just feels amazing. Very emollient but not too creamy, with just the right consistency. I got this to deal with the dark spots/areas in my face, due to my Melasma...and it works just great. Love how hydrated skin feels with this on. I will compare how it performs vs my Eve Pearl Salmon Concealer soon and share it with you.
Dent courtesy of yours truly and my camera...don't ask.
3. Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks in Cabo Coral (Reg. $24 for 0.38 fl.oz) -- I've read b4 that the Pot Rouges put other cream blushes to shame and my first thought is...yes. It feel and looks so good. This particular shade is described as a "pink nectar" in the website. To me it is just a nice coral.
Bonus: Since I already had free shipping, I used a code to get for free the...
4. Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Eyeliner in Mahogany Ink (Reg. $21 USD for 0.1 oz) -- I think BBrown don't have this shade anymore or changed its name? Anyway it is very similar to MAC's Dip Down Fluidline E/L. It's cool.
MAC Dipdown E/L on the right
I also got a sample of her Luminizing Foundation but I it's too light for me.
So that's all for now. Hope you are having a fantastic Sunday. ¡Hasta luego!
¡Vivan, amen y rían!
Nice haul, i love the bb corrector! Id love to try the foundation, sounds dreamy. My skin doesnt work well with the pot rouges, they tend to break me out.. hope they work well for you though! Xx
ReplyDeleteNice haul, shiseido's foundation stick is brilliant too, I have combination skin and it lasts for hours on me. :)
ReplyDelete@Livia: Ooooh I hope it doesn't break me out, because I really love the texture. Hope to use it tomorrow. This was a makeup free weekend ^_^
ReplyDelete@makeupattitude: Thanks for telling me about the Shisheido one! ++writing it down++
