Bobbi Brown site has been running a 30% off discount. What a perfect time for me to stock up (mostly backups) and try a new foundation. I purchased the serum foundation and have only worn it a few days and love it. I do mix it w/ a drop of my tinted moisturizer to sheer it out a bit.

 

This is the sweet spot for me with BB. Once you find your shade, it's the same across the board: other foundations, tinted moisturizers, concealers, correctors, etc. Everything matches for a co-ordinated and blended look. 

 

Also purchased the BB Face Oil...spendy w/o the discount. It has patchouli in it, which I love. I tap into my face at night...a dry oil, and also on my wrists...just love that fragrance. What's left on my fingertips, I run through my hair for extra moisture....and that fragrance...OMG!!!

@Shanus    I thought once you receive your number shade it's good across the board with BB's foundations --- NOT TRUE.  I wear the fluid powder foundation and the shades are a lot lighter than the normal shades.  Funny, but it works for me.  Maybe because it is a fluid powder.  The same no. in another foundation is no where near what I am wearing.

@Katcat1   Sorry to hear that. I know I am, and have been, Porcelain (a fair neutral) for many years.

@Shanus    I also thought that once you have your number shade it is good across the board but I found out that is not true for the shade I was interested in.
