BobbiBrown72dpiframed

herstory_img Bobbi’s love affair with makeup started at an early age when she discovered her mother’s collection of cosmetics. This passion for beauty continued into Bobbi’s teens and led her to Emerson College in Boston, where she earned a degree in theatrical makeup.  After graduating, Bobbi headed for New York City to fulfil her dream of working as a professional makeup artist. It was the 80’s and the look of the moment was loud, garish, and overdone. Bobbi soon became frustrated by the lack of flattering makeup on the market.

She started Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in 1991 and today at 51, she is a makeup legend, not only for the changing the colours we wear but also how we wear them.  And she recently launched the Bobbi Brights Collection which is quite removed from her signature style.

I have mentioned about La Praire’s trio fragrances on my previous posts.

This weekend I had a chance to try some fragrances,

I tried 3 from La Prarie , 2 from other brands

I knew that at least one of those ( La Prarie ones) won’t let my head down, and I loved the ones in Gold and Platinium

This fall, La Prairie will treat us with a new collection named Life Threads, containing three perfumes Silver, Gold and Platinum, inspired and created in the honor of countless options in women’s lives. Every woman in her lifetime plays many roles and has many opportunities to choose, so, regarding all that, La Prairie launches these three fragrances for different moods and feelings.

Platinium comes as a chypre – floral fragrance that opens with plum, violet leaf and galbanum. Jasmine, Persian rose, leather, Kerala cardamom and elegant iris form the heart, while the base consists of Indonesian patchouli, vetiver, golden amber, oakmoss and labdanum.

 

Gold

is formed as a complex oriental – spicy fragrance, with the top notes of tangerine, plum and clove. The heart consists of pepper, cinnamon peel, coriander, Kyoto rose, lily-of-the-valley and ylang-ylang, while the base is made of cedar, patchouli, golden myrrh, vanilla and incense.

 

it is very hard for me to find a fragrance that we can click

but this time i find 3 :))

it means i am a floral person, humm though not can get on well with every floral fragrance..

 

Maybe depending on the mood, weather..  or what i do not know, maybe even age is effecting

We all have questions about face Primers,

What is a Primer have you ever used, and WHY?
Does it make our complexion flawless?
Will it fill and hide enlarged pores and fine lines at the corners of mouth, etc?

 

well i use a powder primer, Laura Mercier, but if i say oh yes it fills the lines, it shows my skin completely perfect, no lines, no pores etc, it would completely a lie, it only helps make up to look better on face, other than this it does not have the effect of Botox or any kind of silicone injections on the face, your fine lines still there, unless you cover it with a porcelain make up,

 

I did not use a gel based primer, but i am thinking to buy MAC’s and one from ELF just to try i am not sure, if it’s gonna worth to try ELF one,

 

yesterday i had a photo shoot for my visa and i used my ELF HD Powder it is good it made my skin to look better, but the silicon substance gave me a strange feeling, on my hands

now i need to stop talking and return back to our face primers

 

Benefits of using makeup primers: that is WHAT MAKE UP ARTISTS CLAIM…

WELL THOSE ARE JUST CLAIMS, IT IS NEVER %100 TRUE YOU NOW, THOSE ARE JUST PINK LIES THAT WE WOMEN BELIVE AND BUY,

Doll Face Cosmetics Make Up Brush Reviews

 DSC-2703 DSC-2710 DSC-2711 DSC-2713

DSC-2715  as you see suddenly those brushes become so small, you can even carry it in your hand bag, not in a small hand bag of course…

I see that dearest P, has listened to my words and she has changed her brush styles and brush bags, when i first saw her new ad on her website i thought this girl starts to do better than ever,

in the pictures you will see her brushes, unfortunately i never had change to try her products as she is based in Philippines and i am not.

But those red brushes are so similar to Smashbox Brushes that think why pay more to a brand name brush while there is another company selling the same brush much cheaper.

 

but she is doing great, hoping that she will have some nicer upcoming products to make reviews about,

 

She is also attending to an early XMAS fair, maybe her fans in Philippines would like to attend.
