In interviews, Bobbi has not said ...Hi Lady Jicky,<br /><br />In interviews, Bobbi has not said what she's going to do for the proverbial second act; only that it's time to move on and explore other options. I think the writing has been on the wall for awhile now. Bobbi Brown was no longer Bobbi Brown.<br /><br />First we had the departure from the campaigns feauturing regular women of all ages to the "celebrity faces" of Katie Holmes and Kate Upton. More and more products started coming out that simply weren't part of Bobbi's beauty esthetic. I remember a couple years ago Bobbi was on QVC and the hostess kept asking her how she used the new products that were being introduced. Several times Bobbi said, "I don't use that." which left the poor hostess looking very flustered. The hostess' obvious discomfort would have been funny except Bobbi was absolutely serious. And then, when the brand began courting the Asian market, Bobbi was told her line was too neutral and that she'd need more color and more shimmer to be successful. All considered, it sounds to me like Bobbi was rapidly losing creative control. Yeah, it was time to get out.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-10192552520777259262016-12-23T16:06:54.529-05:002016-12-23T16:06:54.529-05:00Oh and I looked at these in the shops but with the...Oh and I looked at these in the shops but with the people out Christmas shopping I did not return! Rats.....I must buy one or two soon.<br />I did not know about Bobbi leaving....is she going to set up her own new line I wonder -like Jo Malone did?<br />I want to wish you the compliments of the season GaiaLadyJickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949734715033673034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-331929314992159392016-12-22T13:06:01.137-05:002016-12-22T13:06:01.137-05:00Bobbi Brown seems to have strayed considerably fro...Bobbi Brown seems to have strayed considerably from her original concept of natural yet polished looking makeup for the active woman and the overall quality of many of her products has deteriorated considerably. There are simply way too many misses amongst the hits. When you add to that some misguided marketing (Does anyone really think Kate Upton is a Bobbi Brown kind of gal?), it's no wonder Bobbi Brown is no longer the go-to for natural beauty. We used to have a clear idea of who the Bobbi Brown woman was, but that image has lost focus. Too bad :-( It will be interesting to see what happnens now that Bobbi has announced her departure from her eponymous line.<br /><br />As for Pot Rouge, I used to have several of them. Calypso Coral and Pale Pink were perennial favorites, but then along came Tom Ford with his silky, luminous blushers and I haven't looked back. I have über dry skin and the common wisdom is that creams work better than powders, but several of today's powder/gel formulas are such silky, creamy perfection that they work beautifully on my well-moisturized skin (I also use an emollient foundation like La Mer). For anyone; however, who is committed to using a cream blush, Pot Rouge is good one.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-39027906911582562442016-12-22T10:55:21.542-05:002016-12-22T10:55:21.542-05:00YES- this is one of my absolute favorite products....YES- this is one of my absolute favorite products. The formula is outstanding, the colors are natural, as you say: you cannot go wrong. This is also the only formula I've found that really lives up to the dual-use promise and truly works well as both a lip product and a cheek color. <br />Also, I hope you're having a nice holiday season! I've been pretty overwhelmed at work recently but scrolling through your blog always brings a little relaxation and serenity to my day.

These pot rouges are classics, and i'm also enjoying the new Spring cream cheek palettes!silverkishttp://www.silverkis.comnoreply@blogger.com
