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.

Oh yay @Titian06 , I’m so glad you are liking this too! I agree with @TraceyEB , it’s become a desert island must for me! I like this formula better as well , (same with the concealer). It does not crease yet it gives just enough coverage . Terrific product. I bet you’ll like the concealer too! 💞

[TraceyEB]

@Titian06, great to hear about your positive experience with BB's corrector. It's one of my desert island products. I've used them in liquid and cream formulations and this new whipped formula is the best one yet. I've long used BB concealers as well and they don't disappoint.

[Titian06]

@TraceyEB - I've used a yellow color corrector for eons.  I couldn't believe this actually worked better than that.  My favorite concealer (Cover FX) was DC'd a year or two ago, so I'm thrilled to find something that I like so well--and before I ran out.  (Actually my favorite was a Dior that was DC'd; the Cover FX replaced that.  Hopefully I'm not a jinx! 🤞🍀🐎<--the whole horse, not just one horse shoe! 😄)

@Titian06, so glad to hear it is working better than your usual go-to concealer! I once had a BB MUA tell me not to buy too many of a favourite foundation that was being discontinued because I might like the new formulation even more. She was right. I've yet to find a colour corrector that works better for me than BB (I used a bisque shade). I've used concealer in other brands, like CT, PMG, and Tarte but BB remains my go-to.

Now available at retail partners like Sephora, Macy's, Ultra, and Nordstrom.

Swatches by BB Pro Artist Michele Shakeshaft. She has lots of good content about these cream shadow sticks on her IG page. (See her March 22 video post for making red eyeshadow wearable, featuring Rusted Pink/Cinnamon.)

I thought there were no new matte shades but it looks like Antique Rose is a new one. Antique Rose is one of my most reached for powder eyeshadows. Also, Golden Pink/Taupe is a repromote of their best selling shades.

[TraceyEB]

Launching: Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick Duos. The matte shade in each stick is from the regular line and paired with a new shimmer shade. Available now at BB direct, use code SARA15 for 15% off; available at Ulta April 1.

Learned today that the Blushed Peach Brightening Blush shade might not be available in US and Canada, which explains why we are seeing only 4 of the 5 shades for sale. BB direct recommends Blushed Coral applied with a very fluffy brush to achieve a similar shade. I'm not sure about that as Blushed Coral has a pink tone in it that Blushes Peach doesn't. Blushed Peach is available at Selfridges.

Also, in the photo, Maria from Night Star Beauty compares Chanel's Fantaisie de Chanel illuminating blush (left swatch) to BB's Blushed Pink Brightening Blush (right swatch). Maria is wearing the Chanel blush in the photo and her video on the Spring quad and blush are on her YT channel.

[Sunnysmom]

Great to know @TraceyEB , thank you! 🥰

[TraceyEB]

LE Brightening Blush available NOW on Bobbi direct (4 of the 5 shades). Use code Sara15 for a 15% discount. Should see at retailers soon. Soft launch on BB's IG account.

Tagging @Sunnysmom.

[Sunnysmom]

This is all your fault @TraceyEB ! 🥰 Said with love 😘. Since I could use that rascal code twice, I did! (Well I was getting the pink anyway but bonus! Lol) The pink is very springlike bright. I also really love the bronze as a bit of pink seems to come out of it. It’s a wonderful subtle bronzer all over plus when using it underneath the pink blush. I would prob not have gotten that shade had I not seen yours Tracey! Thank you! 💞 

Pink and Bronze

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, I take all the blame and the love! I was wondering if you received your Blushed Pink and then saw that your swatches for that AND the Blushed Bronze. The swatches look soooo lovely and yes, the Pink is very Spring-like! 💮 Layering them would look beautiful; as would wearing the Bronze as a bronzer, too. YOUR swatches convinced me to place an order last night for the Blushed Pink! 😘 Can't wait to get it. Blush is having its moment this year and I am here for it!

[Sunnysmom]

Ha it’s what we do @TraceyEB ! 🤗🥰 I first placed the pink and then thought hmm let’s try that code again as you mentioned and sure enough! 😂 Bronze is a great bronzer! I know you’ll love the pink too! I don’t think I’ve ever bought so many blushes as in the past 3 years probably! Good grief. Yet they truly can be so different. ( just like lippies! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤓!) XX 😚 

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, Yes, our blush collections have grown considerably over the past few years! As you said, they can look so different! I won't be going on a blush low buy, either. 🤣 I do love that the sara15 discount code always works. Thanks, BB!

[Sunnysmom]

Bless sara @TraceyEB ! 🙏🏻😂🥰

[Sunnysmom]

You’re the best, thank you sweet @TraceyEB ! 🤗 Plus a deal! Woohoo! 💃🏻

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, you wished it into existence, my friend! I chuckle every time I try the code Sara15 and it still works. Can't wait to see your picks!

[Sunnysmom]

😂🥰 Wow @TraceyEB ! I am trying the pink tho your bronze is also giving me pause now! 😆

[TraceyEB]

I picked up the Brightening Blush in Blushed Bronzed when they launched at Selfridges. This type of shade needs to be built up to show up on my complexion, which I did using a synthetic brush. The blush is beautiful - swirling all shades together or applying the blush and the highlight bars separately, or swirling all shades together and adding in additional highlight (pictured below). I have Blushed Coral and Pink in my sights when I can try them on at a counter.

@TraceyEB the color looks lovely on you!

[TraceyEB]

@CookieGirl1, thank you so much! The Brightening Blush and Brightening Bricks are some of my absolute favourite items from BB.
