Brand Focus | Bobbi Brown.

*This post contains PR Samples




About a year 
ago I didn't own anything from Bobbi Brown. However, my obsession all started with their Luxe Lip Color in "Pale Mauve". I picked it up on a random shopping spree and have worn it every day since. The formula is lightweight and moisturizing and the colour is seriously to die for, the perfect pinky nude! Since then I am hooked on Bobbi Brown products, so I thought I would share with you my fave products so far. 

The Base

I have to admit I normally skip the base step of my makeup. It's just something you can easily forget or see as unimportant. And to be fair, I also mostly agree that bases don't always hold what they promise. The Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base is so different though! It's a rich, yet lightweight base that really nourishes your skin and gives it the best prep to make your makeup look flawless. I cannot go without it anymore!

The Foundation

I like very glowy, lightweight foundations which still pack quite a bit of coverage, but don't make me look cakey. The Bobbi Brown Skin-Longwear foundation is perfect for me. The best part: it also has SPF 15, so extra protection for your skin. And did you see the shade range? I am sure everybody can find their perfect shade here! I use the shade Porcelain. 

The Corrector

I never really understand why I would need a corrector. However, I started seeing multiple beauty bloggers talk about the Bobbi Brown corrector I wanted to give it a shot. And omg! I will never be without it. I use it under my eyes, but also on some red spots, I have around my face. It neutralizes the redness and my dark circles perfectly without looking too much or unnatural like some concealers can do. I use it every single day. Even on makeup-less days and I just look fresh and well-rested. If you only get one of these products, make it this one!

The Concealer

However, when I wear a full face of makeup or have very bad spots I still need a more heavy-duty concealer. But I still don't like to use too thick concealers which just look unnatural and crease so easily. My concealer of choice is the Bobbi Brow Full Cover Concealer. Such beautiful coverage, yet very easy to blend. I love it!

The Powder

Because I was running out of my Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish Powder I decided to pick up the Bobbi Brown Nude Finish Illuminating Powder. I always need a bit of powder to set my makeup but I still want it to look glowy and natural. This powder is basically invisible but still gives you a gorgeous glow and adds some longevity to your makeup. A new staple in my makeup bag!

The Highlighter

And of course, no look is complete without a highlighter. When I first saw the Bobbi Brown Highlighting Powder in "Afternoon Glow" I thought it's to die for, but probably too much for me. However, this is just the right amount of glow for me. It doesn't look glittery or chunky on the skin but still gives you a goddess-like glow. This is my new highlighter of choice and I don't see myself switching it out any time soon. I love it. 

The Eyebrow Pencil

What is a good winged liner without the perfect eyebrows framing them? Exactly. The Bobbi Brown Perfectly Defined Long-Wear Brow Pencil is a godsend. The shade 'Blonde' works perfectly for my cool-toned brown hair. I also love that the pencil is not too sheer but also not too opaque at the same time. Love it!

What's In My Spring Makeup Bag.

*This post contains PR Samples 

Spring Makeup Products

When I got out my makeup early in the morning a few days back, I realized that I have changed up my products quite a bit recently. I think I started craving natural, rosy and glowy products just when it started to become a bit warmer and the first signs of spring slowly but surely came out. So I thought it's the perfect opportunity to share with you what is in my spring makeup bag this year.

The Base

When I think about spring makeup, I think of light and glowy products, especially when it comes to the base. So the makeup base is something that I take very seriously, especially in the springtime. On days where I actually wear foundation, I will use my Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. On days where I want to go without foundation, I will choose the By Terry Cellularose CC Serum

The Foundation

In spring and summer, I normally like to go foundation-less and only apply concealer wherever I need it. But sometimes I just want a more perfected look, but with a weightless formula. That's when I will use the Bobbi Brown Skin-Longwear Weightless Foundation. Such a lightweight formula with medium coverage and great lasting power. 

The Concealer

As I often only wear concealer as my base product, I need one that really covers my imperfections and also lasts the whole day. The Bobbi Brown Instant Full Coverage Concealer is perfect for that! I use the shade "Porcelain" under my eyes to brighten up my dark undereye area and the shade "Sand" as this matches my complexion better.  

The Highlighter

Highlighter is a must for me all year, but especially in spring/summertime. My recent fave is the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Highlighter in "Heat Wave". Such a gorgeous shade and really makes you glow like a goddess!

The Eyeliner

I have experimented with my standard liner recently, as I switched from black to brown liner. For that I chose my go-to Clinique Pretty Easy Liner in "Brown". I love the subtle, yet defined look it gives. I am obsessed!

The Mascara 

I have been using the same mascara for years now and I do not think I will change it any time soon. The Max Factor False Lash Effect holds the curl in my lashes so well and gives me volume and length at the same time. I cannot ask for a better mascara. If you haven't tried it yet I highly recommend you give it a go. 

The Lipstick

The Yves Saint Laurent Tatouage Couture liquid lipstick is something I just cannot live without. In the springtime, my fave shade is Rose Illicit, a gorgeous light pink shade. Perfect for a spring look on the lips! It lasts forever and doesn't feel drying like most lipsticks do. 

What are your spring makeup products you can't live without?
