I confess I've been drooling over the Havana Brights Illuminating Cheek Palettes, especially Guava! Perfect for spring & summer!
The other is Peach @lipstickaddict ~ my cheek twin over in the MAC ED thread :tee:
I have both in my lust list and most likely will pick up both when I find them on sale ;) ~ $50 each

For some reason I pass over BB. I guess it really is because the edgier, buzz worthy brands get my attention, and BB is a sleeper brand.

Hey my dear! Both of those palettes are beautiful in person. I got to swatch them. I prefer Guava!!! It's gorgeous. I already bought the blender brush when Nordies ran that price matching sale. The brush is wonderful.

I just got my BO of Bobbi Browns lip tint in Bare Melon which was near impossible for me to get because it kept selling out. I did the BO order with Nordies price match sale. Anyhoo - it's SO GORGEOUS on!!!! On my lips it's a beautiful almost coral shade. I LOVE it!

Winthrop - did you get Bare Melon too with the others?

I bought the Peach one a couple of weeks ago, but assumed Guava would be too dark for me. I think the bronzer in it is Bali Brown, right? I really like the peach palette; the three shades look great together and give me a natural but noticeable glow. Was the Guava not too dark for you? Maybe I'll have to try to see it in person.

I recently bought a bunch of Bobbi Brown after not buying anything from her for at least 2-3 years. I got Sunset and Afternoon Glow (really like both), Maui because I started using Antigua so much and the Peach palette. I'm loving them all so much that I just ordered the Pretty Powerful Pot Rouge, the Tawny Brightening Powder and Santa Barbara Illuminating bronzer.

Now that my skin is finally drying out (after almost 40 years of oily skin), I'm starting to prefer cream blush and glowy powders.

Nice to see you're still on the board, Elegant-One! I wasn't sure if I'd still recognize anyone here. :wavey:

Oh my gosh...HELLO my friend!!!! :flowers: The peach looks really nice & it sounds perfect on. I only swatched the Guava coral shade not the other 2 & it was so pretty. The others are probably too dark for me. I haven't swatched Sunset, Afternoon Glow or Santa Barbara. I love Maui & Antiqua, especially Antigua! What does the pot rouge look like on you? I saw where Nordies just listed 3 new bronzers. Have you seen them?

Happy you posted!

I haven't received the Pot Rouge yet; it comes tomorrow with the new Santa Barbara bronzer and the brightening brick. I'm hoping Tawny isn't a glitter fest; there weren't a lot of swatches of it online.

I love both Afternoon Glow and Sunset Glow; they can be subtle to bold, but they aren't glittery.

Ok, let me know what you think of them. I'm going to go look up the others that you mentioned. I haven't been paying too much attention to BB lately. The glows sound nice. Honestly, I don't know why they have to add glitter at all to makeup lol

I really like the Perfectly Powerful Pot Rouge, but I'm going to return Santa Barbara. I thought it would be a more coral version of Antigua or Maui (both of which I love), but it has the same gold shift that NARS Orgasm does. I've tried it for the last couple of days, on it's own, over a matte bronzer, as a blush topper, and i just don't like it. I don't mind the glow but the gold just isn't for me

I didn't get the Tawny brightening brick; apparently it sold out so they cancelled it from my order.

I like the Skin Foundation Stick, Long-wear Even Finish Compact Foundation, and Sheer Finish Pressed Powder. I want to try the corrector next.

Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color Fall 2017
The range of 20 colors will vary from a large spectrum of nudes, to impressive vivid colors and deep autumn, rich shades. It feels soft on the lips and provides a matte finish but without a drying sensation. It can be applied even on dry lips as it will feel them with moisture and the formula which has rich moisturizing ingredients will sink into the lip’s vertical lines.
