Bobbie Brown: mini-haul/review

I love make-up and I'm trying to slowly build up my collection but it's just so God-damn expensive. But my lovely best friend brought me to the Bobbi Brown counter in the John Lewis of Westfield, Stratford and got me some goodies as an early birthday present, yay!


We were searching for a lipstick the same or close to our natural lip colour to create that 'my lips but better' look. We succeeded with help from the amazing MUA working her magic. She only had to look at us before picking out the perfect lipstick. The Rouge á Lévres in the colour 34 Tulle.






I'm quite lucky with my lips in the sense that they're fairly big and have a quite bright colouring. BUT this lipstick just makes them look flawless: it fills in the cracks leaving a smooth, satin finish. The consistency is also very moisturising when first put on and then dries as a kinda of stain which is long lasting.

Of course, I couldn't get a lipstick without the matching lip liner and I'm so happy I did. It just, I don't know, makes them look much bigger but very subtly. I just love it!! Well, I have to love it for that price haha! I got it in the colour Pink Mauve and it's a perfect match for the lipstick.




                                            


The lipstick retails at £19 and the lip liner was £16. It is very expensive but the quality is amazing and the help and service was great too so I definitely think it's worth it!

The last product the lovely best friend got me was the corrector paste. It's a peach coloured paste that counteracts dark under eye circles. It's beauty sleep in a pot! It has a creamy consistency and applies really nicely where a little goes a long way. I got the colour Light to Medium Bisque which suits my pale-ish skin tone well. This retails at £18.50 which is also a lot but I think it will last a long time. 




I hope this gives you some advice of some good products from Bobbi Brown if you're ever near a counter and feel to splurge on some good quality make-up!

With love, Stef xxx
