I'm really getting into Bobbi Brown products lately. I so often veer towards other brands instead, such as Mac and I have no idea why? All of the Bobbi Brown products I've tried so far have been phenomenal and have more than exceeded my expectations.
I recently purchased Boobi Brown Peony Blush and Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Espresso Ink. I already own and love Caviar Ink but I've been craving a more softer brown eyeliner for daytime.
Bobbi Brown Peony Blush
I fell in love with this blush as soon as I swatched it at the counter. It's a beautiful bright pink that looks great against my skin tone. At first, I wasn't sure whether to go for 'Peony' or 'Pale Pink'. There isn't that much difference between them really, apart from Peony appears slightly warmer, whilst Pale pink is cooler.
After much deliberation, I finally settled on peony and I'm so pleased I did. It gives the most amazing healthy flush! It is highly pigmented though and I've found that only such a tiny amount is needed. It's very easy to apply too much so a very light hand is required. Less is more, and you can build up slowly until the desired effect is achieved. You know you're on to a winner when you get a comment from your other half, who said I looked gorgeous and glowing when I first wore this!
Also, the longevity of this blush is incredible, and lasts quite literally all day on my skin!
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner, Espresso Ink
The Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Espresso Ink is a lovely rich dark brown colour. I absolutely love Bobbi's Gel eyeliners and will buy again and again. It is the best gel eyeliner formulation I have tried as yet, and has never let me down. I usually apply this with my Sigma 109, or my Jemma Kidd eyeliner brush and it applies smoothly and evenly every time. Once applied it literally sets solid and does not move or smudge. It lasts all day on my lids. Love it!
Here I am wearing the Peony blush and Espresso ink eyeliner.......
After trying these I will definitely be buying more blushers and gel eyeliners from the range. I'm also intrigued with the Bobbi Brown skin care range, which no doubt I'll be trying out soon!
What are your favourite Bobbi Brown products? Any recommendations?
The blush looks amazing and the gel liner in Espresso is one of my favorite gel liners ever!
ReplyDeletePeony is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteOh I love Bobbi Brown, absolutely swear by the concealer, and have recently started using the Light Peach correcter under my eyes and it's actually fantastic! I don't even need to set it with powder really, it's less creamy than the concealer.
ReplyDeleteI also have chucked my Mac fluidlines and use Bobbi Brown gel eyeliners, I agree they are great.
I don't wear full foundation day to day, but when I have to I use the Skin Foundation which I love because of the colour match more than anything, I'm somewhere in between NC25-30 with neutral-yellow undertones, and Sand is a great match for me. Skin Foundation is very fluid and light, but definitely gives me enough coverage (bearing in mind I have fairly good skin and don't like full coverage make up)
So yes, I LOVE Bobbi Brown. The shimmer bricks are also lovely, I have the neutral one (in beige? or something similar) and use the individual stripes as eyeshadow, I would only use it on my cheekbones during the evening as it's quite a strong shimmer :)
I love the colour of the blush! Never tried the eyeliner but it seems really good. Anyways great review. xxx

I've been wondering about their line of blushes. I LOVE their corrector and concealer, I recently did a review on them too. They last AMAZINGLY and the coverage is great. But that's all I have from them, I don't know how everything else works.
ReplyDeleteyou look so pretty in the photo. i just purchased a few bobbi brown products and cannot wait to receive them. i've only ever used her gel liner before (just in plain black). i was impressed, but can't wait to try some of her color cosmetics. i went with the pale pink blush and if it's anything similar to your peony then it should be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove the blush very fierce!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, not at all how I expected it too look on the skin, it looks much softer and more natural than I had anticipated - very lovely! I know its incredibly boring but I have a Bobbi Brown lip pencil that is my absolute go to pencil, its in my lip shade so works just to define the shape and I can fill in with any colour, have used loads and none of the others are anywhere as good, something about the hardness of the pencil so you can do a nice controlled line I think!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI recommend you, Pot Rouge For Lips And Cheeks, I really love it. The shade that I have is Calypso Coral.
Sounds like a great product for my family and I would love to give it a try to see how we like it. Thank you.
