Bobbi Brown Sandy Nudes Collection

This is GO NUDE WEEK (makeup of course) on A Very Sweet Blog! So, today I have products from THE QUEEN of nude makeup...Bobbi Brown! Ya, hardly ever see blog reviews on Bobbi Brown products because they are SUPER DUPER EXPENSIVE! LOL I purchased these products earlier this Summer. They are from her Sandy Nudes Collection. I just tried them out! Let's see how it went!

Bobbi Brown Face & Body Bronzing Duo - Supersweet

Telluride (Illumniating Bronzing Powder) & Elvis Duran (Bronzing Powder)

I LOVE THIS! Let me tell you! When I received my order from Nordstrom, I looked at this and almost returned it. The two shades looked so DARK and DEAD! I was like, I picked this? Bobbi made this? This must be a mistake! It looked lighter on the website. So I pushed it aside and never looked at it again until now. WHY did I doubt Bobbi? This palette is so awesome! When I purchased this, it was the only palette. Now it comes in an assortment of shades (3 other palettes + this one)! I treated this like a contour! Here are the steps I took to achieve the look below.

Step 1. Prime your face. (Too Faced Primed & Poreless) 
Step 2. Foundation. (Too Faced Born This Way) 
Step 3. Concealer under eyes, dark spots, between eyebrows & up to forehead [midway] (Urban Decay Naked Skin in Medium) 
Step 4. Bobbi Brown Elvis Duran.With a flat head (or contour) brush, place around the hairline, contour the cheeks and under the chin. Your goal is for light within the inner portion of your face. 
Step 5. Apply Telluride to the apple of the cheeks. 
Step 6. I added extra glow to the bridge of my nose and my cheeks with (Too Faced Candlelight Glow) Step 7. Mascara (Too Faced Better Than Sex)

Bobbi Brown Sandy Nudes Brown Shimmer Lipstick #9 - Supersweet

Step 8. Add lipstick. Isn't this shade gorgeous! It comes across really dark in the tube, but it looked really nice once I applied it to my lips. It was creamy. Just the right amount of sparkle. And it lasts a really long time (even after eating). The color is also buildable. One swipe on my lips below. Three swipes in the pictures above. This lipstick makes a statement, but is very soft. 

Bobbi Brown Naked Nail Polish - Bittersweet

This is the dud of the collection. It's available in Naked and Nude. I think someone mixed up my order, because I wanted NUDE. NAKED is peachy pink! But I'll live. What's wrong with this? You need 2-3 coats. You also either have to give it some serious drying time or purchase some drying drops. I thought it was dry, and it dented and peeled. So Bobbi does makeup, but her nail polish...IFFY. I did have good results with one of her other nail polishes. But it was a darker color. These really light colors are always trouble. So skip the nail polish. I also didn't buy the eye shadow palette for this collection, because it was like $70!!! Ok, so tell me what you think? I'm feeling very sophisticated right now. LOL I think this makeup look would look great for Fall also.
