Bobbi Brown Discussion & Must-haves

[cocodivatime]

My must haves right now are:
the Shimmering nudes eye palette (missed out during f&f sale)
Stonewashed Nudes palette
A few pot rouge colors
Mauve palette
Chocolate Shimmer and Black Mauve Shimmer Inks

I wish I could have bought more during the f&f sale but I'm hoping i can find some stuff at a CCO instead. (any help is welcome. LOL)

Well, I have a used 5x-10x shimmer nudes palette I'm trying to let go for around 45$... lol.

I am in the process of hunting down Shimmerbricks. Could someone lend some opinions on which of the following would work for a NW45?

Gold
Bronze
Brownie
Peony (possibly too pink?)
Sandstone (highlight maybe, or ashy?)
Pink Quartz (" "?)
Copper Diamond
Apricot (would only swipe the darkest colors, not the light white shade)

TIA!

I just got the following in the mail today: Bronze and Rose Shimmer Bricks Espresso Gel Liner Copper Diamond Tinted Lip Balm Blushed Rose Pot Rouge Words cannot express how excited I am to play with these. Finals end tomorrow and this is such a great reward for myself. Bobbi Brown could not have timed the F&F better. What makes me sad though is that TISH mailed Brownie and Peony to me on Tuesday and it's probably not going to get here before I go home.. thankfully home is only a half an hour drive from school so I can always come back for it, but still. I want my toys!

I just got the Copper Diamond sb today and I was really disappoited

I'm darker than NW30 and not quite NW35 or my perfect match MUFE HD 150(lol) and I hate it, it looks terrible on me but I think it would really look awesome on someone with a darker skintone, so looks like I'll be exchanging this one for Apricot sb, hopefully that will work better

Same here, I'm sending mine back... I'm also sending my glitter lip balm back.

Copper Diamond is not on my Top Fav list after wearing it outside...Kinda looked chalky or ashy on my skin...Not sure how to explain it...maybe it's made for warmer tones than mine.

That's sad because I like mine so far, although I have only seen it indoors, but it gives a nice golden glow.

Shimmer Bricks and Naked Lipgloss. I tried the foundation=too red for me and the concealer seemed orange. I thought her line was yellow bases

 

[cetati]

That's weird, they are indeed supposed to be yellow bases. I think Copper Diamond might indeed look weird on cooler skin tones but it looks just lovely on me, and I've got warm olive Asian skin tone.

 

[dominichulinda]

omg! I'm in love w/ the lip crayon pencil..WOW!!! leaves your mouth feeling like you have a mint in it..such a cool feeling (almost like the bath&body chapstick from ways back)..glides on smooth!!..def. will be getting more.

and the shimmer wash ..THIS IS WHAT SHIMMER IS SUPPOSE TO BE ABOUT!! lmao ..this line is so "femme" ..bb = love

Tish, I was thinking that maybe Copper Diamond is a product formulated for lighter skin people... it happens and it totally sucks but I noticed though it's not super pigmented, it does have a very obvious coloring sheen to it and perhaps that is why it shows up ashy on you, because it has that white-candlelight-look to it. Unfortunate.

On the other hand I tried to use Bronze today--Rose I think will make a lovely light blush on my NC30 skin, but Bronze was way more pigmented than I expected... and it just ended up looking dirty on me when I applied it. I'll have to experiment using a lighter hand and/or a different brush (maybe 187) to get it to show up as a light bronze-y glow rather than a dirty mess. Exciting!

I got the Copper Diamond Shimmer Brick - I have put it up for sale- I think it needs to have a color on your cheeks first (it's also noted that way on the BB site) and used for a highlighter above that and/or for the eyes.

The colors are gorgeous ....couldn't resist!!!
