In the fast-paced world of beauty, Bobbi Brown stands out with its luxurious and professional makeup brand. Expanding its iconic Vitamin Enriched moisturizer line, Bobbi Brown introduces a miraculous serum, hydrating powder, and transparent makeup base. We've tried them and we're impressed.
Ever wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and feel like you've got a weighty gorilla hanging around your neck? It's that situation where you don't exactly look "bad," because you haven't sprouted any pimples, haven't suffered any extraordinary swelling, or haven't particularly wrinkled, but still - something in the texture, something in the tone, something in the weary gaze - something looks off, and it's the kind of "off" you can't just cover up with makeup because it comes from within. These days, as time progresses and collagen supply disruptions in the skin increase, the ability of the skin to carry copious amounts of concealers is diminishing.
Now listen, and listen well - Bobbi Brown's new and nearly transparent makeup, the Vitamin Enriched Smoothing Serum, is the ultimate magic product for what I call "Gorilla Neck Syndrome." I don't know what's in there - herbs, oils, hyaluronic acid, and polymers imported from Narnia, but I fell in love with this product from the first moment I applied a drop of it on myself, even in the wrong shade.
And the best part? It's a makeup product that's all about skincare, from the beloved Vitamin Enriched series by Bobbi Brown. But let's start from the beginning because the first new product in the series is the serum, which, alongside the eye cream and the bestselling Face Base Primer, a product that was introduced back in 2001 and now sells a jar of Vitamin Enriched Face Base every 12 seconds worldwide.
THE VITAMIN ENRICHED COLLECTION
The Vitamin Enriched Face Base, the first product in the series, which every makeup artist has in their kit (and they rave about it - mainly for use in exceptional cases), is both a moisturizer and a rich moisturizing primer that smoothes the skin and serves as an excellent makeup base. The new product - Vitamin Enriched Smoothing Serum is based on the same ingredients, penetrating the skin better, making it the first and essential step in the Bobbi Brown skincare routine.
This serum, providing immediate radiant skin, is enriched with 10 effective skin care ingredients.
Vitamin Enriched Smoothing Serum
This product contains 10 effective skin care ingredients and a radiance-enhancing essence creating the perfect canvas for fresh and long-lasting makeup - HydroGlow fruit complex containing watermelon and apple extracts, along with cactus flowers, provides long-lasting moisture for a healthy, radiant look, Niacinamide and Vitamin B3 provide long-lasting hydration and significantly improve skin texture and tone, while Vitamin C fights dullness and brightens the skin over time.
It also contains acetyl-glucosamine that smoothens and balances the skin texture over time through gentle exfoliation. Hyaluronic acid provides moisture to the skin and fills fine lines, shea butter softens and nourishes the skin. Phospholipid, rich in omega fatty acids, nourishes, fills, and softens the skin, while panthenol and caffeine help soothe the skin and reduce redness over time.
Use morning and evening as the first step after cleansing, suitable for all skin types, stunning. Price: NIS 360. Ouch. But wow.
Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Hydrating Skin Tint
Now we've come to this magical product that won my heart forever. It's a moisturizer with a tint, the lightest coverage with a natural finish and sweat and humidity resistance. It nourishes the skin, blurs minor imperfections, does not emphasize wrinkles, and protects against sun damage. SPF 15.
The ingredients are similar to the series' products and are tailored to the product, but I want to talk about its versatility. I woke up this morning with the syndrome I talked about earlier, and I went to meet a friend. I didn't feel like putting on makeup for it because I went to training, and on the other hand, I didn't want to look like that.
I took the shade I use for contouring (along with the matching shade - I have 2, and honestly, I need two shades, and there are 18, although it's light coverage and transparent), and I put it - not even all over the face, but only under the cheekbone, on the sides of the face, a bit on the forehead area, and on the eye fold with a large brush, and I blended it towards the middle of the face. The slightly darker shade placed in these strategic areas also gave shape and contouring, and also blurred wonderfully the redness I have in the center of my face, but not entirely - remnants of redness remained, which is an advantage - I didn't look covered, and where the redness would protrude too much and bother me, it served as a light blush.
And most importantly - the texture was smooth. The magical substance from which this tint is made improved the texture, finish, and tone of the skin as if I had applied a selfie filter myself, so I didn't look made-up. Just glowing and a little more collected, perfect for training. I say, a magical product. Get two shades. Price: NIS 230. Not terrible.
Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Pressed Finishing Powder
As if that's not enough, one of the best powders I've tried in my life has also been launched, mainly in terms of moisture - the powder is not dry, does not settle into wrinkles, does not emphasize textures, and it's also transparent. The powder absorbs excess fat during the day, enriched with vitamin B5 in a soft powder technology, and the claim is that the powder locks in moisture in the skin and increases it over time while providing the benefits of blurring and fat absorption throughout the day with a soft silk finish. I don't know about all that, but a powder that doesn't dry out and cause the skin to shrink into itself already exceeds my expectations.
The new Vitamin Enriched Pressed Finishing Powder comes in four shades - Yellow - soft warm yellow, Neutral - soft neutral peach, Peach - warm soft peach, and Golden Brown - warm golden brown. Price: NIS 235.
If you're not familiar with the series, it's time to get acquainted because it's fantastic - and if you're reading and asking me which two products I would buy first - then the skin tint is the first, and the serum comes in second. In the next paycheck, complete with the Face Base and eye cream, and ask for the powder as a gift for the holiday.
Available at brand stores and online, at the Terminal X, Glam 42, Super-Pharm, and the Consumer Goods Shelf.
