I am commenting here for the first time to let you know that I truly enjoy your newsletter so much. Your energy just jumps out and the mildly crazed writing style (I mean this as a compliment) is so fresh, I cackle with amusement every time I open something new from you. Thank you for serving great style on every level!

Brown (in cotton/without any shine from silk at least) is HARD to get right imo and this one nails ittt

sad about the BR reformulations too!! they’re trying to grow more sloppily than they should (imo) and some of the reformulations are a victim of that, like going vegan and expanding into bergdorf isn’t actually what the true heads want!

if anyone tells you to try MBR (medical beauty research) instead, runnnnn. they just entered violet grey but have absolutely insane prices and NO clinicals.

oh YIKES that's so good to know --- I must say that MBR has an eye cream that my EIHG bff in LA used to use & on my last night of the trip I ran out of face cream so i used 2 pumps of her MBR and slathered on my face and it was the most incredible stuff... however, no idea on long term or even if it works well for eyes, can just say it's luxurious all over the face LOL.

As for BR -- YES it's so wild and so sad, hyper scale tends to kill a lot of beauty which makes me </3. Nothing was more effective than PEAK BR, but I had to tap out when the 4 serums I used were now less effective than just water LOL

omg what an indictment of BR lol, my skin will always be grateful for its OG formulas.

I got MBR samples from my LA EIHG skin clinic (contrapposto) and the line was nice buuuut the moisturizer has gold flecks and they give accidental glitter, not glow 🙃

Agreed on MBR. Have tried their Enzyme Cleansing Booster, which people rave about. It's supposed to be a scrub, but the grains are so fine it does nothing...and at $278?!

I think the allure (and quality) peaked when it barely sold in any retailers, now I think it became super commercialized and too popular to the point that the quality went downhill. My cleanser that I used to swear by ended up no longer serving me, and I am sad. I still think some of their products are phenomenal, but besides 2-3 things, there is nothing more.

I got into BR during the pandemic. Still love Vivant, VIP O2 and BR cream cleansers as a first step. Has anyone else noticed that the slide has coincided with the Danucera products being heavily promoted? Couldn’t believe they pulled P50 1970 off the shelves and started promoting the Danucera tonic.
