Bobbi Brown's NEW Metallics Collection.

I cannot believe that I hit pan with an eye shadow, but I did. I have so many colors in my stash that it is unbelievable, but I just hit pan last week with my favorite gold color from my Bobbi Brown Burnt Sugar Metallics palette from last fall. Good thing we have not just one, but 17 new Metallic shades to choose from. Bobbi knew she did this right and has expanded on her much loved metallics, to launch an entire Metallics Collection.

Look at the gorgeous range of colors.


On counter in August, the shadow will debut in 17 shades. Featuring a broad shade range including rich bold colors and pastels, the high-shimmer, high-pigment formula creates a sexy and sophisticated look. Color applies evenly and stays crease-free for all-day wear. Individual shadows can also be popped into Bobbi’s new customizable palettes.

The color combinations are seemingly endless. I am loving the colors of Mint, Sage and Cognac together for a beautiful smokey brown eye with a shimmer of the mint green as an unexpected pop.

On counter in October, Bobbi presents her new Metallic Lip Color- the newest innovation in shimmer. Featuring high-shine emollients and light-reflective pearls, it will leave lips with a soft creamy feel and medium coverage and will be available in 15 multi-dimensional shades.

I am using the Lip Color in Brown, which is sort of unexpected for me. But it is a beautiful sheer, metallic brown. It is not frosty by any means, just shimmery with reflects of a metallic wash below.

I just sent to the Bobbi Brown website, and the shadows are up for sale, though they probably will not be on counter until August. Then check back in September/October for the Lip Colors. I will be, as I will definitely need to add more of the Metallics to my lippie collection.

Bobbi Brown for Fall - The Mauve Collection.

Bobbi's inspiration for her beautiful new Fall Collection:

“These shades were inspired by the covers of beautiful vintage books. Infused with hints of purple, grey and brown, mauve makeup is a cool neutral that’s very wearable.”

 

The new Mauve collection is gorgeous. Of course, the star product of the new line-up is the Mauve Face Palette. On counters today, the palette contains three Eye Shadows, one Blush, a Creamy Lip Color, a Lip Sheer and a Lip Color. The shades are all new, exclusives, only to the palette:  Navajo Eye Shadow, Vintage Eye Shadow, Chocolate Mauve Eye Shadow, Mauve Blush, Dusty Mauve Creamy Lip Color, Mauve Lip Sheer and Vintage Mauve Lip Color.

 

The rest of the Bobbi Brown Fall Mauve Collection:
Lip Color - Heather Mauve and Pale Mauve
Shimmer Lip Gloss - Black Pearl and Iced Mauve
Lip Gloss - Mauve
Long-Wear Gel Eye Liner - Black Mauve Shimmer Ink
Mini Brush Set - a must-have to apply the Face Palette products, the case includes blush, shadow and liner brushes

Though only July 1st and I am getting my Summer makeup routine down, I cannot wait to play with all the new Fall shades. These look especially beautiful. I am not so much of a purple person (it looks so wrong on me), but being more muted with gray and taupe, I am sure I can wear this collection well.
 

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Beauty Exclusives.

I can't believe that is time for Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale Beauty Exclusives already. It seems like just yesterday that I gushed about what I wanted from the exclusive sale last Summer. Anyway, it is here again and start saving or shopping now. Pre-orders for these beauties are being accepted now.

Really - July 18th through August 3rd, shoppers nationwide will rise with the sun and rush to their nearest Nordstrom.  What is the best way to guarantee a successful shopping mission and get the beauties you desire?  The answer, like I said, is to pre-order.

There are more than five pages with great exclusive products, specials sizes and sets available. There is so much to love, but I really have my eye on a few select items.

First the MAC Colour Forms collection. I am not exactly sure which pieces that I will scoop up yet, but I have my eye on more than a few things from the annual addition exclusive to Nordstrom: 

 

Plus I am sure that I will need this Cocoa Mauve Collection from Bobbi Brown:

And I am longing for this beautiful Lancôme palette, the Color Design Beauty Icon Warm Eye & Cheek Palette:

When I get more time I will be looking a bit closer at more of the exclusives, and I will let you know even more of my selections. What are you longing for?
