Spring 2012: Bobbi Brown Rose Gold Collection.

/

Now is this is what I am talking about when it comes to beautiful spring beauty. The Bobbi Brown Rose Gold Collection is calling me like no other yet this season. I live for pinks and gold, so you can see exactly why I am so in awe of these beautiful spring beauties.

The inspiration behind Rose Gold is simple and romantic: Bobbi's treasured rose gold wedding band. Here, she shares her secrets to wearing this season’s prettiest hue. This collection offers the perfect shades of pinks, roses, corals and plums to take your look from winter to spring. Gorgeous! With two new shimmer bricks that are both must have if I say so myself, and an assortment of universally flattering lip glosses and lip colors, you will find the perfect Rose Gold shades for your complexion.

"Rose gold is instant prettiness." - Bobbi Brown.

Shimmer Brick Compact - $39.00
Nothing lights up the face like a bit of shimmer. One season, with just minutes to go before the runway lights went up, a fashion designer asked Bobbi to give all the models a lit-from-within look. So she took a shimmery eye shadow and dusted it on everyone’s cheeks—and that’s how the idea for Shimmer Brick was born.

Each of Bobbi’s iconic Shimmer Brick Compacts are handmade in Italy via a manufacturing process that involves pressing five different shades of ultra-luxe pure pearl pigments into one pan and double baking them.

  • Rose Gold
  • Wildrose

Rich Color Gloss Shades - $23.00
Rich Color Lip Gloss offers the look and benefits of three products in one: the full color coverage of a lipstick, the soft shine of a gloss, and the luxurious feel of a balm. The modern formula moisturizes and conditions, wears comfortably, and lasts for hours. Now available
in four NEW shades, all perfect for spring.

  • Pink Sorbet

Spring 2012: CHANEL HARMONIE DE PRINTEMPS.

From the break of dawn to the descent of twilight, skies reveal an enchanting array of hues with the arrival of Spring. Inspired by this brilliant seasonal change, Peter Philips, Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, infused glowing, sunlit colour into the CHANEL Spring 2012 Makeup Collection, HARMONIE DE PRINTEMPS. Subtle gradations of rose, coral and peach sculpt the face, giving it a soft radiance, while rich garnets and vivid pinks dress the lips.

BLUSH HORIZON DE CHANEL - GLOWING BLUSH HARMONY - $58.00

In one elegant compact, five pink and peach tones mimic the luminous hues of sunset.
