Bobbi Brown Thread

[meganlisa]

The Bobbi Brown thread.  Bobbi Brown was the first brand that got me excited about makeup.  So I'll always have a soft spot for BB.  And now Sephora has the amazing 25 year year palette.

Note, the holiday lip shade is sold out on Nordstrom.  I'm going to be watching for it on Sephora's site.

Here are comparison photos for the official BB Union Jack eyeliner and the real life one.

Thanks for posting this image! I've been curious about what that color truly looks like. It looks lovely, but definitely more purple than the sales image.

Gorgeous color!  I think I need to get a second job so I can get all the Bobbi Brown products I want!

[Ispend2much6]

I understand the feeling! 

[meganlisa]

Beautiful!

I'm happy to see a Bobbi Brown thread! I've also got something of a soft spot for BB. I was obsessed with Kate Winslet's look in Titanic and read an article about how to achieve the look. It listed a tonne of BB products, and that's how I fell in love the the brand.

I bought the highlight powder in "afternoon glow" and it arrived in the mail just yesterday. 🙂 It's absolutely stunning. I can't wait to use it.

I also loved Kate Winslet's look in Titanic.  I like new eyeshadow library and think I'll pick it up during the sale.  I saw Tati review it on her Youtube channel and it looks like something I'd use everyday.  To me, Bobbi Brown's line is classy and showcases natural beauty.

Ah, Kate Winslet in Titanic was amazing.  I didn't know that was BB but totally can see her makeup being used for that look.

How would you describe afternoon glow?  I don't have it?  Glad to hear it's lovely!

I have swatches of Telluride and Afternoon Glow. I think I deleted the pics off my iPad but the swatches are  on my instagram. They are both so gorgeous. The formula is more of that gelee powder I guess like the Mac in extra dimension highlights. @meganlisa

I would recommend Afternoon Glow if you like that formula. I find it's not the most forgiving formula if one has enlarged pores or texture issues ..sorry for rudely interrupting this conversation 😂 

I will I'll try posting pics here when I can...

[meganlisa]

@jesscheems You aren't interrupting!  Thanks for the input.  I love the in extra dimension formula so will check these out.  I'm lucky I don't have pore issues but do avoid super metallic textures (no flashing light look needed thanks!).  I was out most of the day so will be going back to BB in a minute...with my discount code!

[jesscheems]

@meganlisa No problem! I tried the both together the first time and liked how they looked. I was going to say with your flawless skin you might just like this formula! 😃 I bought them from The Bay in Canada and was so happy to get them..I think Afternoon Glow is OOS on Sephora in Canada.I might be getting Bronze Glow later this year =D

[meganlisa]

@jesscheems I'm heading to Gilt (to get another coupon code) then to BB.  I almost bought these before...then got distracted by something else...

You know how that goes!

[jesscheems]

All too well 😄

I'm trying to find that article, it's driving me crazy. Tina Earnshaw was the makeup artist, but I distinctly remember this magazine listing a bunch of BB products used to get her look. Hopefully I can find it. Now that I've thought of it I really want to know exactly what products were mentioned.

Afternoon Glow is kind of a rose/copper colour with quite a bit of shimmer in it. I picked it over Telluride and Sunset Glow because the online consensus was that it was the best shade for fair skin. I haven't tried it out on my face yet, but my first impression is that it will be a fantastic summer highlight. I think it'll look great, especially alongside some bronzer. 🙂

[meganlisa]

@Asche Sounds lovely! 

The BB look is so perfect for any of those natural ones....like KW in the movie.  If you find the article I'd be curious.  I so remember learning about how to look like you have no makeup but still have makeup from the BB counter, way back when.

I'm going to check out the highlight!

[Samtian]

I don't own anything Bobbi Brown, but that palette on the main post is gorgeous ❤️

[NotCrocker]

I also don't yet own any Bobbi, but man it is all really gorgeous. My hesitation for the shadows is all the shimmers. I think my first delve will be the lipsticks

[meganlisa]

@Samtian The palette is stunning.  BB was the first brand that got me excited about makeup.  Try something?

[Samtian]

I'm thinking about trying one of the single eyeshadows.

[meganlisa]

Which?  First I ever bought was taupe, and it's so perfect.

@meganlisa I like the look of Banana.
