Loving Bobbi Brown

Bobbi brown is the most natural make-up I've worn in years. In high school, I remember asking mom to buy me a concealer and the first counter we went to is Bobbi Brown and I was instantly sold. I love the fact that they have a lot of colors so you're assured that you're going to have a shade to match you.

Recently, I've hit pan with both my concealer and corrector. Sometimes I just use the corrector during those days that I'm just in the office so I rarely use my concealer anymore, just during times when I have to dress up or feel like dressing up.



There's still a tiny bit of product in my concealer and I won't buy until I completely finish it. LOL. Corrector still has a lot of product though I already see the pan. I also love how sleek the packaging is. No frills, just a simple, super travel-friendly product which I can bring with me anywhere.

When I run out of the corrector, I'll definitely buy it again. As for the concealer, I might pass up this one because I like the corrector on its own.

What's your favorite Bobbi Brown product? Do share!

Bobbi Brown Corrector and Concealer

Bobbi Brown. I can say that this is one of the major brands I had when I started using make-up. I remember going to Rustan's to look for a good concealer and since Bobbi Brown is all for a natural look, my mom told me to go and check out their counter. My mom has always been okay with me wearing make-up as long as it looks natural. What I was using before was just the concealer. I swear, they have the best concealers. It's creamy, full coverage and beautiful colors. Even though my complexion changes, they will  always have a color for me.

When they came up with the corrector, I was so intrigued because it is supposed to compliment the concealer. What the SA from Bobbi Brown told me is that the corrector is supposed to take out the dark circles under your eyes while the concealer is supposed to brighten it. I asked him to try it out on my face and I did see the difference! He tried it on one eye first to show the difference and then applied the concealer on top of it. I was sold that I bought it the next weekend (because I was buying lipsticks that day, di kaya ng wallet ko LOL).

Corrector in Light to Medium Bisque

Ouch! but worth it.

My color





You might not see much difference but in person it's very obvious. I swear. I was even shocked because I didn't think it would be the same result as when the SA applied since he's a pro. Love it!


The corrector (right) is a beige pink color while the concealer (left) is very skin color - beige. I've already hit the pan with my concealer but I'll definitely use as much product as I can from this. It's so expensive! Haha!

Just for swatching:
Here's the corrector 
Blended and then applied concealer on top
Blended and ta-dah! It settles finely on my skin and is very long-lasting.

 
I only wore the concealer here and nothing else - no blush, no foundation. Totally bare. It does brighten up the face and I love that it really blends well and the color is just right.

Likes:
  • Very creamy and coverage is full.
  • Easy to use with brush or even with finger application
  • Corrector and concealer complement each other
  • Long-lasting
Dislikes:
  • Expensive and not enough product in the pan, I think
Neutral:
  • You really need to set this with powder because it's really creamy.
I've been using my YSL Long-lasting Whitening Powder Foundation to set my concealer but I think I should use a translucent powder. Any suggestions for a good translucent powder? Thanks guys!

Bobbi Brown's Concealer, Foundation and Paul & Joe's Eye Primer

Bobbi Brown Foundation

This is what I usually put on my face for a base or foundation but not all the time. Since it's too hot outside, I usually don't put on foundation. So, if you're curious why I only have sample size of this one, it's because I have a lot of it. I think I have a handful more of this one. Since I rarely use foundation, I still have a lot of stock that's why I haven't bought any yet.

Love, love this one. It's creamy enough for the face and it really covers up well especially after a few hours, you'll really see the difference! Just make sure you get the color right!

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Beige
Hands down, the best concealer I have ever tried. Before, I actually said that I want to change it and try something else. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything as good as this one. This is the first ever concealer I've ever tried and I will stick with it until the last stock! Hehe :) There's actually another packaging for this which comes with a loose powder and a small foam. I super like the loose powder but it was too bulky and plus, I have my YSL powder so I don't really need that anymore. Plus, it has a mirror as big as the concealer itself. Love!!!

Paul and Joe Eye Color Primer in 02Back label

This primer is actually as good as an eye brightener. The color is perfect on my skin and I love how it brightens my eyes and also locks in color for my eyes. Plus, it smells great which I adore!

Thoughts?
