Bobbi Brown Haul

Bobbi Brown recently had a Friends&Family sale last month, and I had to order! I've been waiting for the sale since the summer so I could stock up on my favorites. They had free gift wrapping too, and although it was a purchase for myself, I got it anyways because I love pretty packaging. Isn't the box just gorgeous? I'm not sure what to do with the box yet but I'm sure it will come in handy for storage in the future.

For those of you guys that have been following me for awhile, you guys will know that I absolutely love Bobbi Brown's Long-wear Gel Eyeliners because they don't smudge on me and I've tried a handful of liners. I use to use MAC's but it's been left in the dust since I purchased my first pot of Bobbi Brown at the IMATS this past June. So I got two more to add to my collection, but wait! They had a promo code for a free full size 'Indigo' eyeliner with a purchase of $65. Therefore, I got 3 pots of my favorite eyeliner for the price of two! I was a happy camper :)

Originally, I wanted to get a pot of the plain black, but having used my 'Chocolate Shimmer Ink' for so long every single day, I realized I much prefer to have some subtle shimmer in my eyeliner. I think 'Graphite Shimmer Ink' is a much better alternative to the boring old black. :) As for the 'Violet Ink', I did some research before I purchased and found out that even though it didn't have "shimmer" in the name, it indeed had some shimmer in it. I've been wanting a purple shimmery liner and it is perfect match! 'Indigo' is a just matte dark blue that almost shows up black when applied. Although, I like my shimmer, it wasn't a bad color at all. I actually quite like it. It's a great option for me when I want a bit of a darker liner but not a true black.

In addition to my eyeliners, I finally decided to splurge and get myself a shimmer brick! I've wanted once ever since I got into makeup 2 years ago, but I just never picked one up. I think it's because Bobbi Brown isn't sold at Sephora so I never see it enough for me to really just pick it up. The one I got is in 'Pink' and I am in love with it. I think I will be doing a separate post reviewing it soon so I can tell you guys the beauty of it in detail.

  1. I would love to hear more about the shimmer brick! I'll get one of those one day. Right now, I'm using one from the CVS minerals line. It's like 24.7 brand or something. It's really nice too!

    anyway, thanks for following both my blogs!
