Good Morning Beauites!
It's all been extremely busy in my life at the moment and weeks keep on flashing by. One thing which I'm absolutely loving is the Bobbi Brown Long Wear cream shadow stick in Golden Pink.
I've been a fan of eyeshadow sticks for quite some while because they are so easy to apply and I always find that they give a nice even finish. However there are so many to choose from.
One which caught my eye was this Bobbi Brown one because even though it's pink, it has a lovely golden undertone. It's described as a shimmering pink peach and is just so gorgeous! Therefore when applied it delivers such a beautiful shade which I've never seen before. This shade is so gorgeous to mix other eyeshadows with too. I love mixing it with a few shades from the bareMinerals The Posh Neutrals palette. All the shades combined deliver the ultimate spring perfection!
Have you tried this shade or do you have another favourite eyeshadow stick?

Happy Friday Beauties!
It has definitely seemed like a never ending week however it's finally Friday!
This week I've been in one of those makeup moods where my foundation just hasn't behaved like it usually does. I have no idea why this happens, but it always ends the same and yes that's with me buying more makeup. This week was has been no different, this time I headed back to Bobbi Brown and started to relive my Long-Wear Even Finish Compact foundation obsession from around 2010! I used to love this foundation compact, but as a normal makeup lover I got lured away by other brands and new releases, so this little Bobbi was put away.
However Bobbi is well and truly championing my makeup stash right now. I honestly forgot how much I loved this foundation. Some foundations have a habit of turning me a bit yellow, NARS especially I find runs a bit yellow. On the other hand some foundations if not yellow can turn a bit orange. I bought this foundation in warm beige and although it looks more orange in the compact, when it oxidises with the skin it blends so perfectly on my skin that it is such a perfect shade. No yellow, no orange just perfection.
The foundation itself offers a medium coverage without any cakeyness at all, it stays put for absolute hours and it's so natural that it doesn't feel like you have any makeup on.
I definitely think that this compact is a little hidden gem, it doesn't appear to be spoken about enough, if you're after a really natural and healthy looking finish then I urge that you test this out. I shall never forget about this Bobbi Brown gem again, it's staying out on the shelf right where I can see it!
Have you tried this foundation or rediscovered an old favourite?

Good Morning Lovelies!
I hope you are all having a lovely week and it's a wonderful wednesday for you!
I'm a bit like an impatient child at the moment, staring at my letterbox in the hope that some of my beauty deliveries will arrive. Oh dear!
Anyway today I want to fill your Wednesday with Aruba! Not the actual Aruba I'm afraid but that would be quite lovely! I may just go on a mind vacation!
Mind you this Aruba is very exciting. It's an Illuminating Bronzing Powder from Bobbi Brown, and as you can see it's quite well loved!
I've had this quite a while, and whilst I do own other bronzing powders, I find this landing back in my hand like magic! The product itself lasts a long long time and it delivers every time. Before I purchased Aruba I used to buy Bali Brown from the range but I found that this was a bit too dark for my complexion and left me with more of a red/pink finish. I'm more of a golden girl, so Aruba is perfect. I find it's amazing for pale skin as it's a bronzing powder which is described as a light golden bronze. It's so gorgeous as it leaves you with a beautiful glow, lightens your complexion and due to it being so subtle it leaves a flawless finish. Quite the illuminator!
I do use other bronzing products too, but as I mentioned it's one of those products which you don't use for a while and then when you find it, you instantly fall in love again!
Have you used Aruba? or any other Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzing Powders?

Well hello there Shimmer Brick Saturday! Gone are the days of Saturday night disco, now it's time for some real sophisticated shimmer. That's where my magic beauty steps in.
Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick compact in Wild Rose. This little compact of shimmering goodness adds a lovely glow to your cheeks and eyelids. As we open it in all it's glory, there are 5 lovely pink shades to reveal. They vary from rosy light pinks to dark peachy pink tones. They're so beautiful and soft with just the right amount of glitter to give that natural shine when the light catches them. Definitely a product which ticks the highlight, shimmer and glow boxes. This little box is great because these shimmers can also be used as eye shadows. I just love wearing pink eye shadows at the moment and these ones especially add some warmth through their tones but still enable you to have a really fresh natural make up look because they definitely don't look overdone. You can build with these shades by finding your perfect depth.
For an all over glow just use a big brush to add a soft all over shimmer or pop some of the lighter rosy shade on the tops of your cheeks for a healthy blush.
I'm not just in love with the inside of this box but the gold writing on the front just gives it that classy elegant feel. So even if you do end up in a cheesy Saturday night disco, having this little beaut in your bag will make you feel a million miles away!
Have you tried any of these shimmer bricks in other shades or have a favourite shimmer brick? Do share!
