Anyone have the ingredients to bobby brown bronzer? Especially the deep, I couldn't seem to get that info out of them. I have sensitive skin, So I wanted to know the ingredients before buying. Thanks ladies in advance.

I don't have them but I did try them at a counter. The new blush color seems to have been the best match for Hue.
 
While everything from BB is a must-have for me - lol

I am really adoring the new tinted lip balms. "Brown" is a perfect match and a daily go-to

I love BB gel liners. I plan to get the black mauve gel liner and when I get it I'll comment and see how different it is from her other gel liners. As soon as my broke self can finally get a camera (my old one is kaput) then I'll take pics. Maybe if I didn't spend so much money on make-up I could afford the little luxuries in life. I am sooo one-track minded.

I checked out the black mauve gel liner today and I was disappointed. It's a soft black with slight golden sparkles(but not enough to notice). So I didn't purchase it since I prefer a richer black.
However I went all out ballistic on the other products. OMG the Black Pearl lipgloss is awesome!!! It's a greyish lavendar color- sounds weird but it is so cool and chic. The mauve lipgloss is pretty and the mauve pallete is such a must. The lip colors of the pallette are pretty pigmented and the mauve blush is a gorgeous cool toned blush with no shimmer (it appears to have less brown than the Bobbi Brown Tawny blush). I love that look especially for the Fall.
The eyeshadows of the quad are on the taupe/grey side so they are awesome for a smokey eye IMO.
For reference I'm now NC30 thanks to the sun.
Yeah, so now I'm broke again.

Aw, I'm soo eyeing that new Mauve Palette. I just don't want the blush to be a boring brown mauve - although it doesn't look that way on the model. I think the eyeshadows will work with the MAC Cult of Cherry smudged violet look.

That Black Pearl sounds gorgeous...I just don't care for her lg as they seem really sticky. There's no curse with that Black Pearl is there

Argghhh, Pirates of the Caribbean...Curse of the Black Pearl....sorry, I couldn't resist

I totally agree with you elegant-one that her glosses are really sticky. But I liked the colors so much I was willing to overlook the stickiness factor.
Oh this pallette and cult of cherry stuff must look hot together!!

I bought the Black Mauve liner based on pictures on Specktra/♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I was so excited to find something not as harsh as black, but not brown (I'm very fair and blonde). I hadn't tried a BB gel liner before; seems similar to most others in texture and performance, I'd say. However, I'm trying to decide if it's a keeper or not. I already have Lithograph (a dark grey) from MAC's Fluidlines and liner pencils galore. The color isn't as outstanding as I originally thought, I'm afraid. Unlike others, I can't see the plum in this once it's on my eye.

I glanced at the shimmering nudes...but forgot to swatch. She is going to be on QVC July 22. That may be a great way to see the colors.

I just got the new Black Mauve eyeliner. I like it. It could have had a bit more color to it but its a nice dark grey with a lil mauve & shimmer. Its pretty different from any other color I have. And, it does look very pretty with the eye shadows in the mauve palette

If you mean the nude on nudes palette - my friend has it and said it's really sheer and that three of the colors almost look the same. But I guess you may expect that from a nude palette.

But I read somewhere that BB is suppose to come out with more metallic eyeshadows and with metallic lip colors and that they may become permanent! Oh I hope so cause I loved her metallic eyeshadows from last year.

Yes, I have it too. I like it, am thinking it'll look pretty with Circa Plum pigment but haven't actually tried the combo yet.

Ohh so I just got back from Bloomingdales in NYC where they have the metallic eyeshadows out already and they are gorgeous!! They look pearlized but they are pretty pigmented colors. I was almost broke so I could only buy two- pink pearl and mint.
What's impressive is that the colors were pigmented enough that I didn't have to use a base color for the colors to show up on my eyelids (which is amazing since my eyelids are pretty oily). But obviously some of the colors were more pigmented than others. I'd still wear it with a base only cause that's the only way eyeshadows last on me.

There's also a pale blue color I want to get but I'll get it next time. I highly recommend checking these eyeshadows out. I really love em (can't you tell?)

I cant wait for the metallic lipsticks to come out!

I loooove the gel eyeliner in Chocolate Shimmer and Bronze. I also like using the Beige Shimmerbrick for highlighting (also used to use it for eyeshadow before I discovered ACTUAL eyeshadow).

I usually wear bronze shimmer as eyeliner, how is chocolate shimmer compared to it?
I love bronze but sometimes I think it's too warm for my complexion (and black eyeliner looks harsh on me as I'm very fair). Do you think I should try chocolate?

I wear the chocolate when I want a darker eyeliner. I can't use black (esp because I have a brown mascara I love to use), and chocolate matches my coloring well. Compared to the bronze, the chocolate is a richer, deeper brown with some shimmer/sparkle to it -- it's soo beautiful. I highly recommend it.
