Re: Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves
the creamy concealer kit is my HG, in the past I've also tried the Vitamin enriched cream which was really good. But for some reason I've never tried anything else. How are the blushes vs Nars or MAC? And the lipglosses look really nice too!

The blushes are really good, I have 1 blush and 1 Shimmerbrick from BB and like them a lot. I'd say they are comparable to Nars for sure, they are very pigmented and good quality, and have such nice colours. I like Nars & BB blushes over MAC, I haven't bought a MAC blush in years!

Re: Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves
I've fallen for Bobbi Brown in a biiiig way, especially with the latest marketing strategy of "personalized" palettes and the square packaging - so awesome! My mom has been using her products for years and I find them to be the of superior quality to all the brands I've tried (MAC, NARS, Stila, BeneFit, etc. etc.) Nothing beats BB for quality.
Her blushes are AMAZING! Desert Rose is the most perfect blush I've ever found for me. She has a huge selection of natural, elegant and understated colours which I just love. I also really like the creamy lip colour, I have it in Blue Raspberry which is such a pretty colour and the formula is great! It's great every day makeup...it's nice and grown up and wearable, unlike some of the other brands that make everything with too much glitter and colour for me. I think I'm kind of sold on Bobbi Brown for life now...

Re: Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves
Has anyone tried new BB lipliners - Beige, Blush or Blondie Pink? Are any similar to the color of MAC Hue l/s?

Re: Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves
I didn't think I'd like Bobbi Brown stuff much, it all seemed a bit too neutral to me.
But I was bought a neutral eye palette for my birthday. It's got one dark matte brown and four shimmery(with a texture like a MAC veluxe pearl e/s) off white/beige/pinkish shades, as well as a double ended brush with the eyeliner brush on one side and the eyeshadow brush on the other.
I love it! I can get a neutral but smokyish eye look in around 5 minutes with it, the brushes are fantastic and it's great for throwing in my bag if I'm staying over at someones house.
I'll def be buying more Bobbi Brown stuff!

Re: Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves
I just bought the last 2 pots of BB Pink Raspberry creme blush from Nordies today - one for my daughter in law & one for me. That blush is so gorgeous on!

Re: Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves
Oh I know! I kept mine despite the castor oil. I'll just use it very sparingly and hope for the best. You didn't happen to check out her new light pink liners by any chance did you?

I love that one, it looks sooo pretty and fresh! The Pot Rouges are def better that the MAC Blushcremes, imo.
I think this shade is going permenent though?

Re: Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves
I've never had much luck w/BB products (with the exception of the bronzer). These eyeshadows especially never seem to show up on me no matter what primer or base I use. I picked up that really popular e/s palette, Stonwashed Shimmer Nudes, last fall ~ the colors are gorgeous but I really have to pack them on to get them to show up. I never have that problem with Nars or Mac.

My daughter in law wanted it really bad, but it was sold out everywhere. Then the morning I was going to go to Nordies, I saw your FOTD/Video using the Pink Raspberry blush...I was sold & had to get one for myself  I was lucky they still had some left.
Your video was awesome...you're so pretty

Re: Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves
These are just some items of Bobbi Brown which I love.
I do have the Blush lip liner and lipstick. Love the color on me its perfect. I can't compare to MAC sorry. I just don't know which color MAC would compare. But I'm glad I purchased Blush. The reason I bought the new Blush color was because I liked BB's old SPF Lipshine in Blush. However this new Blush lipstick gives more color than the lipshine. The lipshine was very sheer.
Pot Rouge: Love Pale Pine & Powder Pink, Summer Pink (great for on the go)
Blushes: Powder Pink, Desert Rose, Tawny & Blush
Lip Crayon: Pink Raspberry (great for on the go)
Lip Glosses: too many to list. (I do prefer MAC LipGlass)
Tawny Shimmer Brick and Lip Kit
Nude Lip & Eye Palette
Raspberry Palette
Jet Setter Palette
Bridal Palette
Lip Gloss Palette
Ski Slopes Color Palette for Face
Sheer Finish Pressed Powder (also love MAC Blot Powder)
Creamy Concealer and Corrector
Gel Eye Liners they never smear and last all day.
Cream Shadows never crease and last all day. (also like some of her regular shadows and shimmerwash shadows)
Brow Gel: in Mahogany is great. (also love MAC in ShowOff)
I love Palettes they are so great for travel and on the go.
I also like Laura Mercier's Face Palette and Eye shadow Quads.

I agree. I just got a Pot Rouge in Milk Chocolate. I love it, and the texture is so much better than that of Blushcremes.
