Fall 2009: Bobbi Brown Nudes Collection.

It is not even feeling like summer yet and I need to start talking about fall collections. It's not too soon is it? Especially when it is swoon worthy like the newest fall beauties from Bobbi Brown. This is the Nudes Collection.

Bobbi says

Nude makeup never goes out of style—it’s polished, sophisticated, and always looks modern. Nude makeup doesn’t mean monochromatic, barely-there makeup. It means makeup that’s right for your skin

I agree with her. What do you think? If you are not a full-on nude makeup believer, I bet that you will be, once you see this line-up.

The star product in this collection is the new, limited-edition eye palette for fall. The Nude Eye Palette features eye shadow duos in a sophisticated and universally flattering selection of shades and textures. The eye shadow duos come in Bobbi's customizable 3 Pan Palette, which can be filled with your choice of any Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow or Blush shades.

Bobbi also introduces a new shade to her iconic Shimmer Brick collection- the Nude Shimmer Brick. This brick features five pure pearl pigments in pink, gold, bronze, beige, and caramel. The shades are designed to be blended together to give all skin tones a soft nude, lit from within glow. Beautiful!

In addition the Nudes Collection includes Caviar Ink Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner. If you did not know, Bobbi's Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner is one of her best sellers.  This one is a beautiful rich, deep brown shade.

The Nudes Collection rounds out with four new shades of Bobbi’s popular Creamy Lip Color that compliment the Nude Eye Palette and Nude Shimmer Brick.

Add Another Bronzer to my Must-Have List!

I guess I am not happy with owning just one (or TEN) perfect bronzers. Bronzers come in so many formulations of intensity, shimmer, sparkle - for so many different moods of makeup. It is no wonder that I have so many and continue to find more that I want. Here is another one I have on the TOP of my must-have list!

This bronzer is from Guerlain, one of the original perfect bronzer formulators. Meet Terracotta Summer Stones.

Could it not be more delicious? I loved the colored pearl beads for a similar yet different bronzer effect you could get with each application. There are four colored pearls in all, in three different sizes, so who knows which exactly your brush will pick up on any given moment.

The "Pearl" rundown:

  • Matte Chocolate - This pearl imparts a soft, even, luminous look
  • Iridescent Copper - This pearl imparts the perfect glow balance to the overall look, structuring it if you will
  • Intense Gold Mini - This smallest pearl adds in that must have gold any good bronzer is known for in just the right amount
  • Maxi Pearl - This one is the largest stone in a beautiful sandy gold tone to give off an overall soft glowing look

Must Have!!! You get it now, right? The $54 price tag for this beauty of a bronzer will not hold me back either. Check it out at Neiman Marcus where, again, it is on my list.
