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.

Did everyone get this email?  Quite a deal, especially if you can justify the purchases as Christmas presents. 🙂  For you or someone else. 🙂

I ordered the Golden Hour highlighter and was surprised to see that it has only 4g of product. The Rosy Glow highlighter in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale set (that also included a mini Face Blender brush and lip gloss) also contains 4g. Bobbi's regular highlighters are 8g and past holiday highlighters have been 7g (Moon Glow) and 6g (each highlighter in the trio). Golden Hour retails for $50; highlighters in the regular line are $46. Even though I bought it at a discount, I'm likely returning it. Here's the comparison - both contain 4g. It should retail for $23 based on amount of product.

Isn’t that odd and maddening @TraceyEB :(. 
I wouldn’t keep it either. Did you also get any of the holiday shadows ? I got Smoke and Metals and Blue Storm palettes. Both very pretty. Really enjoying Smoke and Metals so far. Happy to swatch for anyone too.

Oh these look so pretty thanks @TraceyEB ! I spy some must haves and I forgot about my Gilt coupon. Excellent reminder! 😘

@TraceyEB  love in the afternoon..yes!

BB is why I started loving makeup.  Still love.

[Ispend2much6]

@TraceyEB   Thank you!  I didn't see the new singles or eyeliner yesterday!

[TraceyEB]

@Ispend2much6, Interesting! It didn't come out in the BB e-mail either. Hot off the presses!

Bobbi Brown Luxe Shine Intense in shades (left to right, & top to bottom) Claret, Passion Flower, and Desert Sun. The lipsticks give opaque coverage in two passes, are moisturizing, and shiny. Need to assess wear time and compare to the regular Luxe lipsticks. Am pleased with this purchase.

@TraceyEB Now that you've had these lippies for a while, how do you feel about them? It looks like she released some new shades recently, and I'm planning on picking up a few unless you don't think they're worth it. 

[TraceyEB]

@tastelikewater, I quite like them, and have another shade or two on my wishlist. I reach for them as regularly and enjoy the moisturizing feeling and shine on the lips. What shades are you considering?

[tastelikewater]

@TraceyEB I'm looking at Bold Honey and one of the coral-orange shades (Wild Poppy, Desert Sun, or Supernova) just because I don't have those shades in my collection, as well as the new shade Trailblazer because "neutral pink brown" is 100% my style. 

[TraceyEB]

@tastelikewater, those are ncie shade choices! I'm curious to see Bold Honey and Wild Poppy. Yes to Trailblazer as neutral pink-brown is perfect shade for me, too!

[Sunnysmom]

Good choices @TraceyEB , all look lovely on you! They feel nice don’t they. I think sometimes it’s so nice to just put on a lip like this that feels so comfy! 

[MissPuff]

@TraceyEB  All three are gorgeous but Claret is giving me extra feels 🙂 Lovely!

[tsavorite]

@TraceyEB ,

Wow!  These are all really pretty on you!

[Ispend2much6]

@TraceyEB   Thanks!  Looks like they are pretty adaptable to each person's lip color.  Now I definitely want Claret also!  How are they compared to BB's Nourishing Lip Color?

[TraceyEB]

@Ispend2much6, the Nourishing Lip Color takes a few passes to become opaque, the finish is considerably shiny and glossy, and feels soothing on the lips. (I had a sore lip yesterday and removed the Luxe Shine Intense for a Nourishing Lip Color.) The Luxe Shine Intense is more immediately opaque and shiny (but not glossy). The Nourishing Lip might have a longer wear time as well. The biggest different is a glossy finish versus a shiny finish. I think they are more similar to the Luxe line than the Nourishing Lip line.  Claret was an accidental purchase and is quickly becoming a favourite. I've been using Bobbi's Art Sticks underneath the Luxe Shine Intense to extend wear time and, especially for Claret, to bring out either more brown or more red tone.

[Ispend2much6]

@TraceyEB   Thank you so much!  I agree; Claret looks lovely on you.  I have that one in the Nourishing formula so I was especially curious to see a swatch of that.

@TraceyEB Lovely!!
