It is currently almost 1:30 am on a Tuesday morning in NYC and all I can think about it makeup and how I have not written a blog in several weeks. I promise to get better at blogging. To show you how much bettter I am becoming at blogging, I can tell you that the post after this will be about, surprise: beauty subscriptions. I feel like all I have written about on my blog are beauty subscriptions, but hey, I do love them. Anyways, let me get back to the reason I am writing this blog, which is concealer. But I am not writing about any concealer, I am writing about the Bobbi Brown concealer.
When I first started out with makeup, I did not know the difference between concealer or foundation, mineral or liquid, yellow or pink undertones, sheer to full coverage, and other beauty terminology. One day, a boss of mine at a summer internship introduced me to Bobbi Brown as he was also a makeup artist for this company on the side. The first product he gave me was the Bobbi Brown creamy concealer kit (in the old packaging).
The color he matched me in was Warm Beige, which came with the Pale Yellow powder. From the moment I used this foundation, I was hooked. LOVE does not even cover what I feel about this product. It was creamy and glided beautifully under my eye, especially after I applied the Bobbi Brown EXTRA Eye Repair Cream (amazing product, I highly recommend it). It did not cake up, crease, or settle into the fine lines under my eye (yes at 21 years old, I do have fine lines). I would just wear this concealer along with the powder as well as some mascara (which was also Bobbi Brown) and be set for the day. Also, a little goes a long way. This concealer lasted me 6 months even though I used it everyday. When I finished it, I decided to try other concealers (i.e. Benefit Erase Paste in Number 2 and MAC's Pro Longwear Concealer in NC30) but I just do not love them as much as I loved my Bobbi Brown creamy concealer.
After researching the concealer, I realized they changed the packaging, which made me bummed. I loved the old packaging. Eve though it was bulky, I though the lose powder on the bottom. I am hesitant to buy it now because I have heard negative reviews on the new packaging, especially with the powder. At $34, I want to make sure this concealer is still the one I fell in love with during my sophomore year of college (2 years ago).
Have any of you tried the Bobbi Brown concealer in the new packaging? Would you recommend it? Ugh Bobbi, why can't you make the old packaging again? :'(
If you have never tried Bobbi Brown, I HIGHLY recommend you try this line out. Every product I have tried from them, I have loved. They are amazing quality and you will not be disappointed. What Bobbi Brown products have you tried? Let me know which products you recommend to try.
