Intro to Bobbi Brown & My Starter Kit Review

Recent Bobbi Brown Event was pure heaven for my soul. After indepth reading of Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual (that I got for Christmas upon my wish), I was feeling pretty excited to finally met Eduardo Ferreira, global makeup artist for Bobbi Brown. It was like....meeting a close Jesus' relative after intensely reading the Bible. Yes, Eduardo Ferreira is that cousin. With his master skills and charismatic appearance, I was once more falling in love with makeup. My love glance had no limit and I was absorbing every single word he said. He re-created Bobbi Brown's philosophy perfectly, as almost she was on the event herself. Bobbi Brown philosophy charms with enhancing natural beauty. Forget contouring, strobing is several years long philosophy from Bobbi Brown. Glowy skin, big lashes and innocent looking cheeks are the way to go. To read more about Bobbi Brown Event itself, go to my fellow blogger Lippie Hippie.

Bobbi Brown dogodek je bil zame skoraj nadnaraven. Kot bi po zavzetem prebiranju Biblije srečali bližnjega sorodnika samega Jezusa, ne pretiravam. Tako jaz dojemam Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual, lepotno knjižno biblijo za vse ženske. Po intenzivnem prebiranju, vse odkar sem jo dobila v dar za Božič (spet sveta prispodoba, kakšno naključje), sem v začetku novega leta prav vzhičeno pričakovala Bobbi Brown dogodek. Eduardo Ferreira, umetniški direktor in vodja izobraževanj pri Bobbi Brown, ni razočaral s svojo karizmo in neverjetnimi lepotnimi napotki. Da, to je ta sorodnik Jezusa. Enostavno je očaral s svojmi tehnikami ličenja in poustvaril samo filozofijo Bobbi Brown, kot bi bila le-ta tudi na našem majhnem, a slovensko velikem dogodku. Bobbi Brown filozofija očara s poudarkom naravne lepote, kar privlači ženske in poenostavi marsikatero ličenje zgodaj zjutraj. Bodimo iskreni, vse ženske imamo prenatrpane urnike in premalo časa. Tisti čar, sijaj in iskrivost pa lahko poenostavimo v majhen ritual, ki bo poudaril naše dobre poteze in skril nepravilnosti. Več o samem dogodku si lahko preberete na blogu Lippie Hippie.

Bobbi Brown makeup is masterpiece. Textures are perfectly balanced and the simplicity of packaging is making the products stand out. They are proffessional yet easy to use without unnecessary colour spectrum. The most famous product along Bobbi Brown Corrector is Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks. It's a multi-purpose breath of fresh colour for your lips and cheeks in a cream form. Cream blush looks instantly natural on your cheeks, while it gives perfect pigmentation to your lips. Who doesn't like matching lipstick and blush anyway? Formula joins with the skin as one and gives a lift to your face. They are highly pigmented yet enough blendable for beginners. Pot Rouge comes in several different tones, all carefully selected for every skintone. Pale Pink 11 shade is perfect for fair, light and medium skintones as it gives freshness and a pop of colour.

Bobbi Brown izdelki so mojstrski, popolnost tekstur in ličnost izdelkov tvori nepozabno profesionalno ličenje. Med najbolj odmevnimi je vsekakor večnamenski Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks, primeren za dodajanje živahnosti na lička in ustnice. Kremna formula se naravno spoji s teksturo kože in doda videz svežine. Ob stiku s kožo tvori kremno teksturo, ki je obenem zelo pigmentirana in obstojna. Kljub dobri pigmentaciji, ga lahko enostavno zabrišejo tudi začetnice v ličenju. Bobbi Brown odtenki so naravni in ustvarjeni za vsak ten kože. Pale Pink 11 odtenek je kot nalašč ustvarjen za svetlopolte, saj odtenek deluje naravno, hkrati pa poživi obraz. Vsestranskost z lahkoto upraviči malce višjo ceno.

Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara is a pitch black mascara to emphasize your natural lashes. It truly has one of the most darkest formulas on the market, perfectly fitting the concept of smokey eyes. With each stroke of mascara, you'll be left with perfect volume and bushy lashes. It's not the best at lengthening but tops other mascaras just fine. For those visible lashes you've always wanted. Texture is just enough wet, while the brush will appeal to majority. Also, note that the formula stays fresh for several months. It's the perfect black weapon for every woman, that's why, Smokey Eye Mascara got a lot of attention beforehand. Do I sense a newly released Bobbi Brown mascara?

Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara je ena izmed najtemnejših maskar, primernih za vsakršni ''smokey look''. Z vsakim nanosom bo maskara podarila še večji volumen, večjo dramatičnost in hkrati definicijo. Trepalnice lepo loči, hkrati pa naredi dovolj opazne, da ni potrebe po dodatni definiciji oči. Sama bi še želela malce več podaljšanja, sem pa kljub temu zadovoljna s poudarjenimi in košatimi trepalnicami. Najraje jo kombiniram z ostalimi maskarami za podaljšanje, saj poda na koncu še bolj črn poudarek in definicijo. Tekstura je ravno dovolj gosta, hkrati pa lepo ohranja svežino same formule. Trepalnice so po Bobbi Brown pomembno orožje vsake ženske, zato je kultna Smokey Eye Mascara nepogrešljiva v vsaki kozmetični torbici.

My first Bobbi Brown splurge was Long-Wear Cream Shadow in Galaxy 9. I've heard many praises of their stick and cream eyeshadows so I blindly bought my first Bobbi Brown product. In terms of colour, it's a multi-dimensional khaki-silver with brown tones and golden pink shimmer. Pretty unique and spectacular as the name suggests. However, pigmentation is not my friend. Galaxy is semi-sheer so you need at least 2-3 coats to make it fully opaque. It's probably Bobbi Brown's intention as other nude shades look perfectly pigmented. Still, I love to layer it under my normal everyday shadows to make them more dimensional. In terms of longevity, it's pretty budge-proof on my eyelids. It's not a must have but you surely won't miss it out on Bobbi Brown counter.

Moj prvi Bobbi Brown nakup je zajemal Long-Wear Cream Shadow, kremno senčilo v odtenku Galaxy 9. Senčilo me je na prvi pogled očaralo z dimenzionalnostjo in prelivajočim odtenkom, medtem ko sem slišala veliko pohval na njihov račun. Galaxy je zatorej težko opredeljiv, kombinacija zamolkle sive in ''kaki'' ter rustikalno zlate kar kliče po odsevu. Na moje razočaranje je kremno senčilo malce prozorno, kar sicer ni značilno za ostala kremna senčila v tej liniji. Verjetno je namerno malce prosojno, da se lažje sloji. Senčilo se obdrži na veki tudi brez baze, obenem pa lepo poudari vsakodnevna senčila. Tekstura in formula sta mi všeč, vendar bi si želela popolno prekrivnost. Nevtralni odtenki v barvi kože so sicer čudovito pigmentirani. Galaxy ima upravičeno ime, saj je poln reflektivnih delcev, ki na svetlobi odsevajo zlato ali nežno roza barvo. 

BOBBI BROWN FACE

Bobbi Brown face is fresh, glowy and youthful. There are no signs of heavy textures or powders but rather, there's a thin layer of lightweight foundation and their cult Correctors. Bobbi Brown is a queen when it comes to colour-correcting and covering up dark circles. It's a must for making your face looking fresh and youthful. Eyes are only defined and highlighted with earthy tones, while you can express yourself with bold mascara application and soft eyeliner. I used Smokey Eye Mascara for that pitch black effect. Brows are only corrected. Lips and cheeks shine as rose petals with Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks in colour Pale Pink. Bobbi Brown believes that all women naturally blush pink so please, no peaches or browns.

BOBBI BROWN OBRAZ

Bobbi Brown obraz je svež, naraven in iskriv. Ni znakov težkega pudra, obenem pa poudarja najboljše poteze obraza. Lahkotne teksture pudrov prekrijejo ravno dovolj, medtem ko korektorji v odtenkih breskve poskrbijo za tako nadležne temne kolobarje. Korektorji (Correctors) so srce in duša Bobbi Brown. Tudi oči se le nežno poudarijo, sicer najlažje s kakšno nevtralno šampanjec barvo in drobcem reflektivne senčke na sredini veke. Obrvi se samo poudari, maskaro pa lahko radodarno slojite na vaše trepalnice. Temnejše so trepalnice, lepši je pogled. Smokey Eye Mascara sem zato nanesla na spodnje in zgornje trepalnice. Ustnice in lička naj ostanejo čimbolj naravna, svežino pa se lahko doda z nežnim dotikom Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks. Sama sem uporabila odtenek Pale Pink na ustnicah in ličkih, saj Bobbi Brown verjame, da je roza najbolj naraven odtenek za lica. Nobena ženska na svetu ne zardi marelično ali rjavo.

Along with all fantastic products, I warmly suggest to at least browse through Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual book. It's a fantastic example of techniques, makeup looks, makeup tips and professional makeup applications. It's a staple for anyone, who loves venturing into makeup world. Bobbi Brown is available worldwide and don't forget to check out Bobbi Brown online site for updates. 

Prav tako priporočam vpogled v Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual knjigo, ki je odlična za začetnice kot tudi mojstrice ličenja. V njej so čudovito predstavljene tehnike za ličenje, različni videzi, potrebni izdelki za mojstrsko ličenje in njene male skrivnosti za lepšo kožo. Je čudovita osnova za vsakogar, ki se spogleduje z ličenjem. Knjigo lahko prelistate tudi v edinem Bobbi Brown kotičku v Sloveniji - Müller drogerija na Čopovi ulici. Poleg listanja knjige si lahko podrobno ogledate vse izdelke Bobbi Brown, vključno z omejenimi kolekcijami. Upam, da ste tudi vi občutili moje občudovanje do te znamke, hkrati pa bi se zahvalila ekipi Orbico in Müller Slovenija za tako enkraten in nepozaben dogodek.
