Stumbled on the new Bobbi Brown Beauty From The Inside Out book – her new venture!

May 16, 2017 Paris B 4 Comments

I’d been curious about what Bobbi Brown has been up to since she left her eponymous brand last year. The news was that she was taking a break and working on something new.

Well, I’ve just come across news of what her new project is – a new book and approach to beauty in Beauty From the Inside Out.

I believe it’s just launched last month, and no, I don’t have it but unlike most beauty books, this is something I think I might want to buy and have a read, because she speaks about beauty coming from the inside – what you eat, your lifestyle choices, health etc and that’s something I can get behind 🙂

I’ve inserted below a couple of videos I came across about this book, that I found interesting, that you might too 🙂

This video was the first one I came across, where Bobbi talks about herbs you can eat for healthier skin.

What I found interesting, is that some of these herbs or roots might not be alien to us here in Asia, and we might already be ingesting it, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Turmeric, for instance a.k.a. ‘kunyit’ here in Malaysia, is widely used in Asian cooking especially chillies, sambals and curries. If it looks yellow, there’s a high chance you’ve got turmeric in there.

Personally, I’m leery about putting it on your skin, although many DIY home masks say you can, because turmeric can stain your skin something awful.

Burdock root, another example shown in the video, is also commonly used in Asian cooking. I know the Japanese eat it, braised. Chinese also use it to boil soups and I’d always been told to drink my herbal soups because “they’re good for your skin” I guess there’s truth in that isn’t there? 😀

Here’s the other video (and there are a few others if you look around online) and an article from The Observer.

Apparently, the Bobbi Brown Beauty From The Inside Out book has minimal makeup advice in there, with a focus instead of wellbeing, lifestyle, food and health.

I can see why that will be so. She has a host of other books about makeup and how to wear makeup. She grew a makeup empire for 25 years, that she sort of abruptly left last year. I can see why she might want to distance herself from Bobbi Brown – Makeup Expert, and transition herself into Bobbi Brown – Beauty Expert. There’s a subtle difference there.

As much as I don’t buy or read books about beauty, I’m intrigued enough to want to own this one and if I do get it, and feel moved enough, I might even talk about it some time 😀

Are you intrigued by this new Bobbi Brown book?

From what I’ve been given to understand by those who have met her, this book would be nothing new. She has always been practising a healthy lifestyle, and eating healthy foods. Meetings with her involve bowls of kale salad, I’m told LOL! I guess she’s just now sharing these lifestyle tips with the rest of us 🙂

    It is a trend now to eat healthy, live healthy and even showcasing healthy lifestyle.

    It is a trend also to show off your healthy skin after you have painfully follow the regimes of washing, toning and moisturising your skin day and night. Even Michelle Pan has use less foundation these days.

      Actually, you are right. I’m all for a healthy lifestyle, but I often feel like there’s a lot more form than substance these days, due to social media allowing people to show off (even if they say they aren’t showing off!) While I’m all for people being more educated about their skincare and piling on less makeup, I do think a lot of this “show-off” culture is detrimental, because it affects the self-image of others who may not be in that condition. Still, it doesn’t stop me stuffing my face with food haha! 😀

An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to stay on” look 😅 Super simple and using stuff I already own. How many do you recognise? 😅 

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪
Been ages since I’ve gone to a big pasar malam ( Been ages since I’ve gone to a big pasar malam (night market). Popped by the one in SS2. Frenetic. Crowded. Lots of food and drink. Excellent good fun! 😆 Your eyes always want more than your stomach can handle. Ate a lot and bought even more food back home. Diet? What diet? 😂

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
