I absolutely love Bobbi Brown gel eyeliners but not so much the shimmer bricks. I got the Gold Shimmer Brick and when applied, I look like a giant disco ball since there was so much shimmer

I've never given Bobbi Brown a second look. Even though I'm a neutrals h00r, the brand has always seemed kind of boring to me.
...And then I finally got ahold of BB Chrome eyeshadow in Pewter last week, and I have been wearing it every day. What a versatile and complex color! It looks so different depending on what I pair it with.
Now I'm craving even more Bobbi Brown though. Uh oh.

I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to when I run out of the Oil-Free that I have currently. My guess is that this is a new and improved version of the Oil-Free which has been dc'd.

The UK seems to have gotten an interesting Antigua palette.
"Designed to give you that well-rested, seaside glow, this Caribbean-inspired palette has a pinky peach illuminating bronzer that gives pale skin subtle, sun-kissed colour and works as a beachy blush on darker skin tones. Also includes three neutral Eye Shadows and three pink Lip Colors that let you take your look from subtle to bold. Like a week on the islands!
Shades included:
Navajo Eye Shadow, Oat Eye Shadow, Caviar Eye Shadow
Antigua Illuminating Bronzer
Kitten Creamy Lip Color, Pink Ballet Creamy Lip Color, Azalea Metallic Lip Color"
Looks interesting.

anyone here tried the new BB foundation? I'm always on the hunt for the next best foundation and this one sounded promising.

I liked it okay but I returned it because the color match just wasn't right. I think I'm too cool toned for Bobbi and her yellows. I liked that the finish wasn't too matte or too shiny -- a truly satin finish. Only used it a couple times though.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but the new lip treatments are SO nice. All the colors are gorgeous and amazing pigmented. I try to settle on one, but I can't and I end up walking away empty-handed. All of them could work on any complexion really. A+

I LOVE Pewter e/s! I just picked it up at my CCO (almost died when I saw they had it!) and I'm seriously contemplating going back for another.
I also picked up Slate cream e/s and Slate powder e/s. Very different products but I am really liking them both. The cream is lighter and slightly more brown, and goes on quite sheer but builds nicely. The powder is a pretty matte gray/brown and blends well. I was really impressed with the variety of neutral tones (I'm a neutral hoor too) so I'm paying much more attention to her line — or at least whatever shows up at my CCO.
I haven't tried the Skin foundation (no BB counter where I live), but I did buy Natural Finish when I was on vacation last month. 3.25 Cool Beige is a PERFECT match for me 8O and now that my skin is improved, the sheer coverage works for me. It really is long-lasting, too.

can anyone compare the shimmer bricks to MSF's. I want a shimmer brick but don't want one that is similar to my many MSF's

I've only tried one MSF (By candlelight) and I prefer shimmerbricks SOOO much more. The MSF seemed to sit on my skin and accentuate my pores while the shimmerbricks blend right in and give subtle shimmer. They have so many uses with the many shimmerstrips in each one. I've been using my pink quartz and nude shimmerbricks as eyeshadows lately and am lemming the Beach one.

Do you mean compare the shades against each other as in Apricot Shimmerbrick is a dupe for XYZ MSF? Because in that case I can't think of any. I have 6 SB so far and I like them. Not all MSF's are as shimmery as a SB but I will say that I think the shimmer in SB's is more finely milled, and less loud than the shimmer in many MSF's (New Vegas, Global Glow, etc.). HTH.

yup...I just got Beach shimmerbrick and really like it but couldn't find a dupe in my MSF stash and before I start collecting the shimmerbricks I want to know if they are similar to any other MSF's
The other one that caught my eye was Nectar...and i'm wondering how close it is to Ripe Peach or Refined....
My friend was able to snag me Platinum Pink at the CCO and i bought that sight unseen...only heard good reviews about it...now I wonder if it's close to Petticoat or some other pink MSF

I've never got anything by Bobbi brown, but the shimmerbricks look really tempting. I love shimmer so I just have a couple questions. One, what do you do with them? Are they multi-use or should be used for a specific purpose? Then, are nectar and the new one, beach, good ones to start out with? Are there any that are must have before these two?
