Good grief I've had this blusher for ages ... it was a belated Christmas present (the Christmas before last) from my brother which I got to choose myself! I knew that if I didn't buy myself something special I'd just fritter the money away on bits and bobs - anyone else guilty of this? I therefore set out with the intention of obtaining one of the iconic Bobbi Brown Pot Rouges and came back with a powder blush (as you do!) - the Bobbi Brown Blush in Tawny ...
I think it was the swatch (as you can see above) that did it for me - I've got a thing about pinky brown, fleshy type blushers - you know the sort that you reach for when you want a bit of something that's not too obvious. bright or shimmery. I must admit, I was a bit disappointed at first that once applied and blended it seems to take on more of a paler pink tone than I'd expected, so although it's sits fine over a full foundation, I tend to use for a wash of natural colour on BB or CC days and for this purpose it's perfect - plus it can always be added over the top of a bronzer for a deeper flush. Once on it seems to stay put for hours and has a refined, silky texture and a soft, matte finish - you only need the tiniest amount as it's pretty well pigmented (this is not one to swirl around with your brush as you'll pick up far too much product, just a light tap is all that's required). Although it's definitely a luxury buy at £19/3.7g, I can see it going on for ages and ages!
Over a BB'd kite ... no idea why I have such a starstruck look on my face ... !
So that's my first blush from Bobbi Brown - looking at the range of gorgeous colours I'm hoping it won't be my last! Have you tried the Bobbi Brown Powder Blush? Which is your favourite?

ReplyDeleteLove this colour on you Jenny . Haven't been around much as you know, but am slowly getting back into the swing of daily life and catching up on my favourite blogs. Life can be a roller coaster thats for sure:( xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Claire. It's lovely to have you back - take care of yourself xx
DeleteThat color looks so good on you....I haven't tried BB's powder blushes, but have a cream one which is excellent, so pigmented that I only need a dot! Love most Bob B products, but recently had a reaction to one of their foundations...... Turns out it was the lavender in it? They were brilliant and gave me a full refund and a replacement product....So thumbs up for great customer service! Helen xx
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you got a replacement Helen! I have to try the cream blusher - it has to be done! xx
DeleteIts a gorgeous colour on you Jen! I recently bought a Bourjois cream blush on your recommendation! x
