Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Even Finish Compact Foundation ($46) is basically an oil free liquid foundation in a solid compact form. I’ve heard amazing things about Bobbi Brown foundations so when I saw this being presented on QVC, I knew I had to at least try it. The nice thing about QVC is that you can send anything back within 30 days if you’re not completely satisfied.
This Bobbi Brown foundation comes packaged in a black plastic compact with flip top lid. Inside the lid you’ll find a mirror, while hidden underneath the foundation is an application sponge. I’ve had good luck with compact foundations before, especially when applied with my Sigma F80 flat top kabuki, so I have not used the sponge at all.

For a while now I’ve been dying to try the Bobbi Brown creamy concealer. I’ve read so many great things about it but kept delaying purchasing it to try. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, the Bobbi Brown Instant Pretty Collection ($76.98) debuted on QVC and I knew I had to finally try it.
One thing that held me back from trying anything Bobbi Brown is the price of their products. So this 7 piece collection is a great value which prompted me to take the plunge.

Here’s what you get:
- Face Touch-Up Palette in Sand (QVC exclusive until 6/1/2013)
- Hydrating Eye Cream
- Sheer Color Cheek Tint in Sheer Pink (QVC exclusive until 12/22/2012)
- Lash Glamour Extreme Lengthening Mascara
- Long Wear Cream Shadow in Pink Bellini (QVC exclusive until 12/22/2012)
- Shimmer Lip Gloss in Pink Lemonade (QVC exclusive until 12/22/2012)
- Sheer Lip Gloss in Pretty In Pink (QVC exclusive until 12/22/2012)
As you can see, the majority of the items are exclusive to QVC for the time being. The face palette comes in a choice of 6 shades; Porcelain, Sand, Beige, Natural, Honey and Warm Almond. In the face palette you get creamy concealer, corrector, foundation stick and sheer finish pressed powder.
