Anyone tried any of it, looks very pretty but I don't really need anything!

Isn't it Bobbi Brown's new label ?

I saw a Jones Road tinted moisturiser that was a dead ringer for an old Bobbi Brown tinted moisturiser I have in a round pot.

I have the miracle balm and love it.

runjy · 30/10/2022 15:02

yes Bobbi Brown & I love the look of the miracle balm.

The packaging is really cheap looking. I bought one of the shimmery eyeshadows in a pot it was underwhelming. Charlotte Tilbury is so much better.

I remember when it first came out in the US a few people said it was Glossier for the middle aged. I'd agree.

runjy · 30/10/2022 18:55

I use CT a lot but never tried Glossier.

It's the Bobbi Brown Miracle Balm I have that is similar to a Jones Road product.

Miracle Balm apparently has argan oil in it and I think that’s what breaks me out in certain hair products, so I’m steering clear.

I’ve taken an interest and watched BB’s little Instagram vids about the range because I’ve got some Liberty credit to spend, but so far I’m not feeling like I really need anything.

runjy · 31/10/2022 11:22

Ha, I have liberty credit to spend too which is what prompted the thread

It looks really cheap to me.

I bought the face pencil concealer which everyone was raving about but I wasn’t that impressed in terms of coverage or finish. It’s not rubbish but I’d never buy another one either and it’s made me a bit wary of trying anything else.

ElizabethBest · 31/10/2022 11:26

It was shit. Buy CT or glossier.

runjy · 31/10/2022 11:47

What's the CT version of the miracle balm?

agree the packaging isn't great but I thought the pigments looked very nice.

Same!!

Really dragging on my skin and poor coverage. You could never use to do your whole face.

It also took AGES to arrive and postage was expensive - although I think they've sorted that.

I'm tempted by the blusher.

AuntsArentGentlemen · 31/10/2022 11:48

I bought a few things.

Miracle Balm - nice, moisturising, but the one I picked is a bit too pigmented for my skin tone, so I have to be very sparing

What The Foundation - this is a weird one. I didn't like it much at all at first, as it's very moist and minimal coverage. I thought I'd just use it up and not buy again. But it's really grown on me and I think I will buy it again. It's not one for a quick make-up job, as it takes a while to sink in before you can put any other products over it, but I reach for it more and more often - it leaves my skin feeling really plumped and velvety.

Eyebrow pencil - it's fine. It does the job. Can buy something cheaper, though, same results.

Purple eyeliner pencil - poor. I love eyeliner and was very disappointed. Very weak, barely showed up on my eyes.

This is a good review of the miracle balm

NeedleWielder · 31/10/2022 12:27

I went to Liberty on Saturday to try the What The Foundation. The girl slathered it on me with a shovel and I looked oily AF. It also has a really strong scent, which put me off.

Not for me.

runjy · 31/10/2022 16:34

@Mercurial123 thanks. i'm going to go for a balm & blusher. I like the barely there look and don't wear foundation etc.

I hated the balm, sticky, shiny and strange medicinal smell

Eye pencil felt it lacked pigment

Lip gloss too minty

addictedtolipstick · 01/11/2022 00:19

It does have a particular scent alright @Mystery2345.
