Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick in Sand 2

The Bobbi Brown Stick Foundation comes in 24! colors and retails for 43 Euro for 9gr. of product. I was matched at the counter to color 2 which is called sand. It matches my skin color exactly,

The stick foundation comes (as the word already says) as a stick. It is like a giant lipstick.

Color sand is a light natural beige. The texture has no detectable scent and is creamy. I apply it directly on the face and use a foundation brush to distribute it. The coverage is medium but can easily be built to full coverage if applied in layers.

Here you can see it on my arm. I applied the product heavily to show the color.

The foundation is not matte but rather satin. It creates a natural look which lasts for me the entire working day. I have dry skin and this might not be the same for people with other skin types.

I realized when using this foundation with SPF (this foundation unfortunately does not have any) it can creates some kind of sweaty feeling. I managed to prevent this when I let the SPF dry down completely for at least 10 minutes before I apply the foundation.

The foundation stick contains only 9gr. of product and I can not yet tell how long this will hold on. Overall I must say that it does not seem to me like a lot of product.

What I really like about this foundation stick is that you can easily carry it around and touch up no matter where you are. My other favorite foundation the Guerlain Lingerie de Peau comes in a glass container which I am definitely not carrying around with me in my purse. Another nice thing about the stick foundation is that you can also use it only on certain areas of the face such as a spot or dark rings under the eyes on days when you are not in the mood for a full make up.

Summing up:

Pros:

·                     Easy to apply

·                     Huge selection of colors

Cons:·                     Little amount of product

·                     Can be tricky with SPF

Guerlain Rouge G L'Extrait in Luxure and Avarice

Today I would like to share with you my favorite lipsticks. The Rouge G L'Extrait comes in seven different colors from deep red to plum. They retail for 45 Euros each.

They are package is very nice, It come in some kind of metal packaging. The packaging is really well thought through as it also contains a nice mirror.

The application is done exactly like a lip-gloss. The texture is smooth and it is easy to apply without messing around. I still recommend using them with a lip-liner as I believe it makes lipstick application more precise.

The finish is satin as it is not fully matte nor glossy. Avarice is a nice beige rose. It looks very natural. It is nice as daytime makeup as it does not draw too much attention to the lips. I love to use this color for work as it is never too much but exactly right.
Luxure is a lovely red. It is perfectly red not pinkish or plumy. It is bright but wearable for daytime or evening occasions. I love both colors and use them regularly depending on my mood.

Once the lipstick is applied and dried down (yes it actually kind of sets down) it stays put for around 4 hours. I believe it would stay even longer if you do not eat or drink anything. For me that means that I reapply the color after lunch and I am all good again till I am going back home.

Here is how it looks applied:
