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.

My BB 25%+ off order below and recent BB purchases.

• The Extra Color Shine lipsticks have quickly become a mild addiction; they're a cross between a lipstick and a lip balm: (l-r) Nude Mauve (my fave), Dragonfruit, and Nude Buff;
• The Skin Enhancer Multi-Sticks in "bronzer" shades Sunset (has a red base) and Beach;
• Pot Rouge Velvet Matte Pot in Maple (from Selfridges);
• Crystal Eyes Eyeshadow Stick in Brilliant Violet;  and
• Soft Focus Foundation Brush (from Selfrdges).

I'm loving the shape on that brush @TraceyEB 😍. Their eyeshadow sticks are among my all time favorites. 

[TraceyEB]

@itsfi, I waited and waited to see if that angled brush would come to N. America and finally ordered it from the UK. It's especially well designed to use with cream products. Yes to BB eyeshadow sticks!!! Just when I said I wouldn't buy another one until I use my current stash more, Olive and Honey are on the way. 💚💛

Smart to order it when you did @TraceyEB. I've noticed that there's been a significant lag time for many beauty products becoming available in the US after they've launched in the UK, and Asia as well. Longer than usual.

Everything looks pretty, @TraceyEB

Nice haul, @TraceyEB !  Everything is so pretty! 💖💖💖

Bobbi Brown to exit US department stores, selling via BB online, at Ulta, on Amazon, and TikTok Shop. Article below discusses the state of Estee Lauder's business.

The headline took my breath away. BB is among my  favourite brands, whose products are part of my everyday routine. I discovered Bobbi Brown in a department store where there was a full counter. I became acquainted with their makeup and skincare lines and enjoyed when BB makeup artists held special events. The Boston Store closed and so went the full BB counter. I've relied on Sephora for seeing product shades in person. BB's presence in Ulta is slim. The brand has lost my previous sales volume by not have an adequate prescence where I shop, and now Estee Lauder is reducing that further. I do not support Amazon.

😲😲😲 

You scooped this news for me @TraceyEB and what a doozy of a news break it is, woah!!! 😲

[TraceyEB]

@itsfi, I know!! It stunned me! I just added an article about the state of Estee Lauder's business.

Thank you @TraceyEB, I'll take a peek at the article later tonight. I've been tracking the EL & Puig merger talks every now and again - I've been curious about EL overall ever since I learned last year that it was bundling Dr. Jart with a couple of its other brands for sale. Removing their counter at stores will reduce costs but their sale numbers could very likely also see a dip since, as you alluded to, consumers will have less resources for seeing and testing products themselves before purchasing. 

[TraceyEB]

@itsfi, interesting re: Dr. Jart. I read that EL's Too Face might be sold, so there are moving parts. And speaking of, I found MAC's move to Sephora a curious one as they have a lot of presence in department, retail, and standalone stores.

By the way @TraceyEB I bought one of the blush sticks over the holidays and it’s a nice consistency ! Did you as well? Quite long lasting!

Ahhh, I saw a beauty YT’er post the eyeshadow palette but couldn’t figure out the brand; thanks for posting this @TraceyEB. The illustration / art work on that palette cover is really fun! 🤩
