CALIFORNIA LIVING, CANADIAN MADE
Squeezing out every last bit of summer warmth, although the sun isn’t quite up yet now when I wake up at 6-6:30 each morning. Almost time to say goodbye gorgeous sunkissed glowy skin! But not yet! I still want to tell you about being sun-kissed by Bobbi Brown’s summer collection.
I’ve been posting about these pieces for the last few weeks on Instagram and YouTube (video below!) and I thought it was time to share some upclose shots of the pieces, too.
It’s my first time working with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, and by now, if you’ve been reading my blog even a week you’ll know how much I enjoy Bobbi Brown products — mainly her skincare line, especially that wonderful Extra Eye Repair cream of hers. Hoooooo-wee. If I had shares in that, I’d be worth somethin’.
Needless to say, I’m pretty stoked I get to work with them. Let’s hope I can continue a working relationship. Because not only is the skincare line A+, the makeup is pretty wicked too. I’ve been posting sneak peeks on instagram for a few weeks, but only now posting about it here on the blog. Let’s get to the products that I’ve been using every.single.day.
Bobbi Brown Tube Tints are a moisturizing lipgloss that hydrates the lips. It’s not sticky, or tacky or sticks to your hair, and all the colours below are so easy to apply without a mirror. Can you guess which shade is my favourite? Also, make sure to scroll to the bottom of this post to see the colours on my lips in a YouTube video!

One of my all time favorite high end products to use on my face is Bobbi Brown cosmetics. I blogged about their Holiday 2012 collection a few months ago, and now I’ve created a wish list for myself, of Bobbi Brown cosmetics. Hey, it’s getting close to Christmas. No harm in creating a list now is there? :)
Bobbi Brown Extra Eye Repair Cream ($68 USD/ $75 CAD). Huge fan of this thick, luxurious eye cream and I don’t mind spending the money on it. My jar of it ran out a few weeks ago and I just haven’t gone to Holt Renfrew in Toronto to pick another one up. My jar ended up lasting me seven months. A good investment I say, at just $10/month for it! They sell other Bobbi Brown cosmetics inside Sephora stores, but not the eye repair cream. I may not even wait for Christmas to get this, because it’s such a great moisturizer. I used it twice a day under and around my eyes. It’s a great base underneath under eye concealer as well since it doesn’t get my makeup crepey or flaky. Available at Holt Renfrew, or Bobbi Brown.com.
Bobbi Brown 24k Shimmer Brick. This product is limited edition, but Bobbi Brown always comes out with some great shimmer bricks. I’m always swatching them when I’m inside Holt Renfrew. It’s a lust-after product by yours truly. I’m a huge fan of skin care over makeup, but when it comes to makeup I’m all about foundations, and making your skin look the best possible. Having this shimmer brick adds a little glow to the cheeks. It’s perfect for all year round. Glowy skin doesn’t have to be just for the summer time! You can buy it on Sephora’s website for a limited time.
Bobbi Brown Extra Soothing Balm. I love diverse products and would love to give this product a try. I hadn’t heard of it until recently when I was on Bobbi Brown’s website and scoped out the Extra Skincare line. Love that you can use it on your cuticles (mine are always so gross looking, unfortunately and I literally need to put cuticle oil on them a few times per week), your heels (!!!), and even on your cheeks for a glow. Sign me up… I wonder if it’s available in Canada?
This is not a sponsored post.. psh, I wish it was. It’s just a wish list of mine!
