One of my best friend’s works at a magazine that featured the new Bobbi Brown lilac palettes. As a token of appreciation, the lovely people at BB let them keep the samples. So my friend, knowing my obsession with beauty, grabbed me the lilac shimmer brick and the lilac rose lip gloss. I was thrilled. I love Bobbi Brown. I use their powder foundation, which in my opinion, is a miracle worker.

As for the lilac-love:

I used the lipgloss today, and although it looks very purple, it comes out practically sheer. (Read “pinky”)

I haven’t tried the shimmer brick yet, but I feel like it’s a cult favorite. I have a few friends that swear by it as a blush/bronze/highlighter trifecta for the summer. Confession: I actually want to buy a proper brush for this product. I have a blush brush but I swear it permanently paints NARS “Orgasm” on everything.
