Looking for something?

Bobbi Brown Neon Pink

I don’t even know why I’m bothering to blog about this lipstick. Yes, I fell into a state of complete lust when I clapped my eyes on it and immediately had to have it BUT… how many times have I worn it since then? Twice, and both times as a stain. Why? Not really sure.

The pigmentation is nice, it’s a little bit dry in texture and it smell’s a little funny. At first, I thought it was expired so I brought it to my local Bobbi Brown store who informed me that a) they ‘couldn’t help me as it wasn’t available here yet’ and b) that it wasn’t gone off. Interesting and helpful (?), I know. I’ve half convinced myself it has expired so maybe that’s not why I’m loving it ‘big-time’, as I used to say when I was about 15.

Here’s a picture and a swatch below. For some reason it looked like a dark red when I photographed it against white, so I had to stick it amongst a pile of stuff on my makeup table to get it to look somewhat true to life.

And there we are. Anyone think it’s a bit meh? Maybe I’m losing my lipstick mojo again. I go through phases of being obsessed with wearing statement lippy and then phases of pretty much a slick of lipbalm. If any of you lovely people bought this, tell me if your’s smells funny.

I made a deal with myself to read more in the coming months as it’s something I’ve always loved, but haven’t made much time for of late. 
To try and keep track of what I’ve read and what I’d like to read I set up a @goodreads account (and I signed up for their reading challenge, too) so feel free to join me ❤️

This is the new approach I’m taking with my conc This is the new approach I’m taking with my concealer at the moment. I’m tired of creasing and I don’t really like using powder as I prefer a dewy under eye, so here’s what I’m doing 👇🏻 

I focus only the inner corner and side of the nose as this is where many of us have blue-toned shadows and darkness. I use a tiny amount of corrector first to balance the blue tones, and then a tiny amount of concealer on top of this. 

They key is tiny amounts, thin layers and really working it in to the skin. It brightens and smooths just enough, but so little product is used that there’s no issues with creasing. 

Try it yourself and let me know what you think?
