Bobbi Brown

I love this brush! Everything about it is perfect. Except the price which is quite high. But all high end brushes are expensive so might as well get a good one. This brush is the perfect size, not too big or small. It gets into all the hard to cover areas like around the nose and eyes well. The bristles are very soft and dense but not overly thick so it absorbs too much product. It feels right in your hand. It’s balanced correctly and buffs nicely. It doesn’t streak or cause any issues with makeup application. I use it to apply both liquid and cake makeup as well as concealer. I have other brushes but this one is by far the best. Might buy a second one just for concealer. My only issue is with the packaging it came in. It was so well protected in plastic packaging I had quite a time getting it out. The bristles were protected in a tight plastic collar. Had to be really careful not to damage the brush removing it. But this is a very minor complaint.

I have to say I was skeptical at first. But boy was I wrong!!
I use it as a moisturizer and a primer before makeup. My makeup actually wears well throughout the day and the face base is very hydrating. It helped a lot with my dehydrated skin!

The only con is the smell. I do really like the smell, but it’s too strong a grapefruit scent. And the hefty pricetag of course.

I'm surprised there aren't more reviews of this Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint. I love it as a moisturizing, very sheer wash of color and shine for days when I wear very little makeup and/or when my lips are feeling particularly dry. The Bare Melon provides a lovely sheer pinky-peach color, especially nice and brightening in the summer, while the Bare Raspberry provides a nice sheer rosy pink wash of color. Both of these seem to blur any lip lines and make my aging lips look plumper and more youthful.

I like this much more than the Dior Lip Glow. (I find Bobbi Brown's to have a bit more pigment and better colors for my skin/lip tones than the Dior. I also like that it doesn't seem to have any fragrance and that it feels better on my lips -- not goopy.) Compared to the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Lip Balms (which I like), the Chanel is more pigmented (I love the Deep color) but it's also less moisturizing and has fragrance.

One big drawback is that it's really expensive for a balm.

Holy grail status for me. This blush looks like a scary, bright fuschia in the pan, but comes across as a gorgeous, natural pink flush on my light/medium, cool/neutral skin (with freckles); that "just in from the cold" look (believe me, with our Canadian winters, I know that look well). You definitely know you're wearing blush with this product, so if you like a nude, monochromatic look, this one isn't for you.

It's very finely milled, and blends beautifully into my skin. It's completely matte, and doesn't emphasize fine lines or pores like some powder blushes can on mature skin. I wear it year round. Not only would I repurchase, I have - I keep a backup in case it's ever discontinued. It is expensive, but it's worth it!

Wow, this foundation far exceeded my expectations. This gives you the most perfect, light, airbrushed looking, smooth complexion. It's neither matte nor excessively dewy - the finish is more of a satin imparting a beautiful glow (but not a fake kind of glow like a lot of formulas nowadays). You can still see your skin underneath so it doesn't look cakey or overdone at all but everything is all blurred out and looks smooth.

I didn't need a primer with this as I do with many other foundations. It's also very pigmented so a little goes a long, long way.

The packaging may look like a simple glass pump bottle and it is but it's so much more luxurious than many other other foundations which I've purchased at an even higher price pump. The glass feels solidly hefty in your hand, the pump disperses just the right amount - neither too much nor too little and it doesn't leak at all. The cap goes on very solidly as well.

Foundation is worth every penny.

The one downside is that I took a chance and ordered online and the color was far too light for me. I would suggest going to a store and getting color matched first.

p.s. Bobbi Brown's foundation brush is nice too - very soft but I like the finish better with the Beauty Blender. However the foundation brush is GREAT for a light layer of loose powder.
