Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge- Pale Pink


Sometimes it seems that my make up bag is full of Bobbi Brown products, I just find they have such great products for long lasting basics for the day!



I got this Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks to keep my pout pink on the go. It has a slightly a cream texture, lighter than a lip balm but with much more colour. It gives lips a lighter and more natural colour than a lipstick. On the cheeks it blends in really smoothly, not at all greasy and can be built up giving a really pretty pink glow.



There are five shades, all fairly neutral and wearable. I love a bright pink because it looks fresh against my paler complexion. The Pot Rouge is a really nice product, not super long wearing on the lips, but gives a nice strong colour and a great alternative to lip balm for the day time. Also looks good under gloss. For the cheeks, the colour is pretty much the same as the Pale Pink cheek powder blush (reviewed here), but this gives a much more dewy look.



Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow


Finally got a chance to blog again! Thought I do a quick post of yet another Bobbi Brown product. I love the long wear range, mostly because it really is long wearing. I hate nothing more than smudged make up at the end of a long working day.



This shade of Long Wear Cream Shadow, Bone (1), is one of the lighter shades, a really pale vanilla beige. I use it all over the eye up to the brow and also blend under the eye along the lashline. During the week it is the only shadow I wear, but it also really good as a primer to make powder shadow last a little longer.
There is a range of 15 colours in the cream shadow, mostly matte or shimmer, although Bobbi Brown also does a metallic range- another blog post coming soon!



I would really recommend this shadow, it looks perfect at the end of the day- no creasing, greasing or slipping off. It is light and comfortable to wear. The colour can be applied with a brush or fingers and can be built up.
