Bye bye dark circles with Bobbi Brown!

During my recent trip to Hong Kong, I hauled in a whole lot of beauty loot. Much more than food, I find beauty products harder to resist.

Bobbi Brown Bye Bye Dark CirclesI was going down the escalator of the Causeway Bay MTR station when I saw Bobbi Brown posters which said “Bye Bye Dark Circles!”. I immediately said “I NEED that!!!”. Take note it’s a NEED and not a WANT. Bwahahaha! XD

I made a beeline for Sogo Department Store’s cosmetics section right away and told the lady I wanted the Bye Bye Dark Circles set. The salesperson told me there are three products that you need to get rid of dark circles. It’s not really a set per se. I would need an eye cream (which doubles as a primer), corrector, and concealer.

Bobbi Brown Corrector in PeachI said no to the primer since I already have all sorts of eye creams at home. I just got the Corrector in Peach (US$22, pictured above). The salesperson recommended the shade for me.

I also bought Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit in Beige with Pale Yellow Powder (US$32, pictured above). The left palette contains creamy concealer, while the right one contains pale yellow powder for setting.

The finished lookI think I need to refine my application technique some more. This is the first time I’ve used the set. Not to worry, I’ll be taking a short make-up course this May at MAICA. 😀

Update: Bobbi Brown Philippines will be launching this line May 2011.
