Okay, so... I work at a CCO and we sell Bobbi Brown but I never buy anything of hers (makeup wise). We have some compacts that come with the Shimmer Bricks (but not SB's on it's own). So apparently I have been missing out on these things! The next time I go to work I'll be sure to try these things out when we have no customers in the store. And the gel liners as well.

Her eyeshadow's always look so... boring to me so I skip over them.

There's this makeup bag I have of hers that I LOVE! It's really cute.

And her BRUSH CLEANER is the best!! Usually I use soap and water, or brush cleaners I buy at Walgreens, Target... but I bought hers and it did WONDERS. Make's you really rethink the whole, "soap and water does it just as good" thing LOL. I had one brush that could never go back to all white like it originally was, and this did the trick!

Sorry I couldn't make any input on makeup suggestions, but like I said... I always skip over her makeup.

The Bobbi Brown Look For Tory Burch

Bobbi Brown's Latest Beauty Guide
by Michelle Edgar

Posted Wednesday October 15, 2008
From WWD Issue 10/15/2008

MAKEUP ARTIST BOBBI BROWN has unveiled a new book that’s meant
as a guide for everyone from beauty beginners to professionals dedicated to makeup artistry.

The volume, titled “Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual” (Springboard Press) was spotlighted at a press event at 33 Bond Gallery in New York Tuesday morning. It will be launched at Bobbi Brown counters in January and carry a retail price of $32.

The book, which is Brown’s fifth, has 12 chapters comprising two parts, a nine-chapter section called “The Basics” and a three-chapter section called “What the Professionals Know.” The first section includes everyday tips like how to apply makeup in 10 minutes or less, while the last few chapters ad-dress doing makeup for fashion shows and putting together a makeup portfolio. Included are step-by-step application in-structions and visuals.

“I realized that all women wanted was to learn about the technical things,” said Brown. “It wasn’t just about wearing the right blush or lipstick, but showing them how to apply it, making it easier for them to understand.” Brown dedicated the book to photographer Bruce Weber, with whom she’s worked closely over the years.

Also during the event, Brown introduced five new make-up items, the Bobbi Brights Palette of 35 eye shadows ($70), Creamy Lip Color in four shades ($22 each), Lip Gloss in six shades ($20 each), Skin Foundation SPF 15 in 17
hues ($45 each) and Face Touch Up Stick ($22).

I think most of the eyeshadows are kind of boring too, but I really like the gel liners, the blushes are gorgeous, shimmer bricks, and some of the metallic shadows are great. Her products are highly pigmented and very luxurious quality, if you can find some things at the CCO I'd def have a closer look! The blushes are comparable in quality to Nars, imo!!

I was considering BB's Nudes eye palette. Is it worth getting?? Would anyone be able to tell me what MAC shades match to it (I hate getting something I already own

)

Hawaii02, I'd say skip it. All the Bobbi Brown neutral palettes are so repetitive and even though I give mine a lot of use on lazy days when I have tests/projects or whatever and just no time to do my make up, it's not something I reach for when I'm actually thinking about my make up... the 6 lighter shades even dupe each other for most people. I mean, seriously, who's going to look that closely at your make up and be able to tell the difference from one day to the next and be able to tell what shades you used?

I wish I spent my money on more MAC shadows to fill up my Pro palette.

In other happier Bobbi Brown news, I still adore the Copper Diamond shimmer brick, and I ordered Pink Raspberry pot rouge today. EXCITE!

The Friends and Family sale cost me quite a penny.

What I owned before:
- Shimmering Nudes 7 shadow palette
- Copper Diamond Shimmer Brick
- Pot Rouge in Pink Raspberry was on its way already.

And of course before my cream blush even gets here I make another order thanks to the F&F sale...

- Pot Rouge in Blushed Rose (I figure I need a brownish pink blush for more natural days.. I haven't swatched this so I hope it works).
- Gel Liner in Espresso
- Glitter Lip Balm in Copper Diamond

I can't wait for my goodies to arrive!

I have two BB Shimmer Bricks: Gold and Apricot. I use them mainly as cheek highlighter and they're both great.

I want to try the creme liners next. How are they different from Stila Smudge Pots or MAC Fluidlines? They are very expensive here in Canada so I want to know if the extra $$ is worth it...

Shadowy Lady, I haven't tried them yet but everyone seems to think it goes on smoother and lasts longer.

I ordered the glitter lip balm during the F&F so I can let you know how it is next week when it gets here (OMG, why is it taking so long).

I like the gel liners better than MAC fluidlines. They're just.. richer. Fluidlines seem cheap in comparison. I need to dip my brush into my fluidline pot twice as many times as I do with the BB gel liners. They also last longer, IMO.
