I love Bobbi Brown. The makeup and skincare ranges work great with my skin and never cause me any issues. So I know that whatever I purchase I am likely to be happy with it, so much so that I will use it until the very end.
Bobbi Brown is one of the only makeup brands that I find myself using daily and replacing staple products time and time again.
I think that's a sure sign of quality and consistency. Which is good.
I would say that mostly I use skincare products. However they do a cracking concealer and their foundation was the first foundation I ever tried and used (my Mums) and whenever I have had makeovers with them I come away with a big list of things that I want because I look so much better than usual.
One of the things I had wanted to try for some time was the shimmer bricks. The bronze and nectar version had been used on me as bronzer and blush but I purchased the rose version to use as a highlighter.
The shimmer bricks can be used as a highlighter and also a shimmery eyeshadow. I tend to just highlight with mine.

I do really like the shimmer tone of this shimmer brick. It's perfect on my skin and makes it look luminous. Be warned though you can end up looking very shiny if you are not careful and end up applying too much. A little bit certainly goes a long way.
The powder goes on really fine so it dosn't have that glittery effect that some shimmery powders do. And it's also worth mentioning that it doesn't highlight your flaws like some do.
I love this and use it all the time at the weekend when I want my makeup to look fresher. I want all the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks but given they retail at £30.50 each it's unlikely. I mean I do really like them and I've had this one for months now and barely made any impact on it, but I can buy an outfit for that if I go bargain hunting and I do like to get a bit more for my money. So for now I'll stick to this one!

Gosh I seriously have an infatuation with Bobbi Brown Products. I mean, I love lots of brands but nothing quite has the same effect on me as BB's colours. I've said it before and I will say it again - they are just the perfect colours for making the most of your features - rich without being too OTT. Perfect for any day or evening look.
So naturally I was excited to see this beautiful array of lippies.
The video on YouTube introducing these rightly states that Lipstick is a way to change any woman's look. So have a look here to see what colour will suit you and your personality!!
I will be going for some light and deep shades I think! P.S - they retail for £16.00

Amazing.
I got the MUA to use this on me on my recent Bobbi Brown trip. Love it. Can't buy any more makeup this month though!!
However for those of you that wonder what it's like here you go:-
I really struggled to find any reviews of this online!!! But it is really fab - great if you have dry skin. Definitely a future purchase.

Given my love for Bobbi Brown's Hydrating eye cream it was only natural that I would feel the same about their Hydrating face cream!
I purchased this at the same time as the eyecream as part of a set (it included mascara and makeup remover also) for £32.00.
The face cream normally retails at £33.00 for the full sized version. Mine is 15ml sized. As with the eyecream - a little bit goes a long way though so the set is worth having a look at if you want to give it a try.
Sooooo what's so special about this product? Well you know how it usually takes aaages in the morning with the serum, moisturizer, primer etc. Not any more - MUA at Bobbi Brown says this product has primers built in so it does the same job.
Goody!!
Whether it does have primer in or not all I can say is it does the job. I don't need primer anymore as my makeup glides on and stays on. And I really mean stays on. Which for me is a miracle because with other products, unless we are talking double wear by Estee Lauder, I end up with patchy skin by around midday where it is all coming off.
What more can a girl need.
So is it really that Hydrating? Yes, but for someone like me who can get dry patches you may still need to use a more intensive moisturiser at night. It is perfect for the day time though!
Again I am going to say try this and you will like it - and what could be better than cutting out all that time in the morning with your serum and primer!!

I have been wanting to try Bobbi Brown products for a while now. Especially after receiving the Makeup Manual book off the boyf last Xmas.
So I trotted off to Selfridges after payday and decided that was the day I was going to take the plunge!
The lovely MUA did my concealer, foundation and blush so I am now colour matched. I have a sneaky list to leave lying around as a hint for Xmas hehe. I mean, needless to say I loved everything I tried.
One of the things I just couldn't leave without, however, was their Hydrating eye cream. The MUA used this prior to the concealer and I was hooked! It is literally really hydrating!!
Background:-
Some of you may recall that I have previously mentioned issues with dark dark circles under my eyes and extreme dryness if I use the wrong products.
Most recently I had been using Cellnique's Contour C Complex. I did find this to be lightly moisturising. It is very light in texture. I've also used eye creams from garnier, soap and glory and boots plus many other drugstore brands in the past.
Thoughts:-
I was shocked at the consistency as it is so much thicker than other eye creams I have used. Yet it doesn't feel greasy or heavy.
It absorbes into the skin beautifully and creates a fantastic base for my concealer. It is much better than any of the previous eye creams/gels I have used. It doesn't sit in any fine lines and ensures my makeup sits nicely too.
Info:-
It retails at £27.00. It worth every penny. My makeup looks smoother, the skin around my eyes feel softer and a little amount really goes a long way.
This product has made me rethink eye cream entirely. I believed most eye creams were pretty much the same. WRONG. It just goes to show that paying extra is really worth it with some products.
I will definitely be repurchasing this in future and all I would say is try it and you will love it!
