Yesterday my mum and I went to the Bobbi Brown counter in Browns and had 'Pretty Powerful' makeup lessons, their signature 10-step lesson. "We'll teach you Bobbi's tricks of the trade and create a beauty routine that's right for you" is the description on the flyer and it was a brilliantly thorough lesson that covered every step of a full look. The woman doing mine was lovely and we were chatting about products the whole time, she asked me about every step of my normal routine and then we discussed what products she would like to show me and why she thought they would suit me. Then, with each new product, she told me all of the aspects of it and various ways it could be used and how. She wrote down everything she used for my look on a sheet and they kept a copy for if I ever came back and wanted to know what to get! Sadly I was in a rush in the morning and forgot my camera so there are no pictures of the process or the products. Afterwards, my mum bought a few of the products used on her and offered to get me something too! I had read a lot about their gel liner and was considering trying something similar (I've mostly been using the pen-like eyeliners and my latest one has run out) so I asked specifically for that to be used in the lesson so I could see what it's like, the woman chose 'Graphite' which was a beautiful smoky, slightly shimmery, dark grey. It looked great, but I'm much more of a classic black liner kinda gal, so I chose the 'Black Ink' gel liner to buy. My mum also got me the Ultra Fine Eye Liner brush!
It's a long-wearing, water-resistant gel that is really easy to apply, goes on so smoothly and dries quick enough that you won't smudge it mid-application. I LOVE IT!
