Bobbi
Brown and Laura Mercier are my top two luxury department store brands which I
can rarely afford to indulge in, so when the opportunity arose for me to
purchase this much lusted after Bobbi Brown Face Base I very much went for it.
This
gorgeously thick face base is excellent as a nourishing, skin loving
moisturiser thanks to the shea butter, carrot and vitamin C and E components
and makes a fantastic pre-makeup primer, smoothing the skin and readying it for
foundation.
I
owned Bobbi Brown Face Base years ago in Australia when I was in my early twenties and a bit oilier than I am now and found it a little two heavy then for my
face (and the Queensland climate). But now that I'm knocking on the door of the
big 28 and living through moisture-sapping English winters I will take whatever extra moisture I
can get!
Vitamin
Enriched Face Base is a primer and moisturiser in one with a super thick,
melting texture and a beautiful Vitamin C like scent to match the
yellowy-orange colour of the cream.
Even
though shea butter is a main ingredient in the cream, it's an oil-free formula.
I'm not 100% how this works since I equate butter with oil but I do know
that the face base leaves my skin glowing and dewy rather than with an oily
sheen.
At
£36, this is definitely a treat product to me but there's a lot to love with
this product - the smell, the texture, the feel of it on my face, the lovely
glass jar, the Bobbi Brown logo on the lid...
If
you see this, give it a whiff and try some on your hand, if you're anything
like me you're bound to fall for it fast.
Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base is £44.50 at Look Fantastic.
