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.

NARS' Fall Collection 2008.

Another Fall Collection that is calling my name, this is NARS' Fall Collection. Launching online today (July 15th) this one promises to be another winner. This collection is designed to compliment the Fall fashion look of bold and solid hues with beautiful textures. The neutral palette is shimmering and full of sophistication. The lipsticks look amazing, especially when trying to make your tan last long into the Fall. Can't you just picture them with a bronzy glow?

 

The lipgloss is on my must-have list too. It looks like the perfect flushed pink. It looks so natural and I love it with the gray and gold shimmery, smoky, sultry eye.

Here is the complete look:
Dolce Vita Blush - $25
Isolde Duo Eyeshadow - $32
Cordura Duo Eyeshadow - $32
Fez Single Eyeshadow - $22
Senorita Lipstick - $24
Female Trouble Lipgloss - $24
Rebel Yell Nail Polish - $16
Beautiful Liar Lipstick - $24

The Dolce Vita Blush has been talked about already and because it is so highly anticipated, if you have any interest in this beauty at all, I suggest you scoop it up soon.
 

Lancôme's Maharani Jewels - The Fall Collection.

Another Fall Collection, this one takes us from Summer to Fall effortlessly. Lancôme opened it's first store in India last year and this collection brings us the colors and sights that India is noted for. The shades range from deeply colored and spicy, brightly jeweled, to the gorgeous natural hues of the landscape. Beautiful! This is the Lancôme's Maharani Jewels collection.

The star product of the collection has to be this bronzer, Poudre Elephant Teint. As the elephant is an iconic symbol in India, it signifies royalty and internal strength.

This is the perfect product to achieve a gorgeous glow. Look at how the elephant is embossed in the powder of this new limited-edition bronzer. This is almost to pretty to put a brush to!

Next up is the Le Crayon Khôl Kajal and the Maharani Color Design Eye Shadow Quad. The raw and natural tones found throughout India’s countryside are seen in the Lotus Splendor palette with its earthy brown, peach and copper eye shadows, while the Secrets of Benghal palette features soft pink, dusty mauve, eggplant and highlighting shadows. Paired with Le Crayon Khôl Kajal in India Ink, the combination of shadow and dark liner work in harmony to create a sultry, intense eye look.

Finally, there are three new exclusive Juicy Tubes. Inspired by the intricate motifs of Mehndi art, these Juicy Tubes are embellished with a golden design of scallop lines, dots, teardrops and paisley shapes. Shades range from Mango Mystere to Guava Enchantment and Autumn Jasmine. Beautiful!

 

I can see myself wearing all of these shades very easily.  And while the bronzer is beautiful, the more I look at the collection, I think that I want the shadows even more.

Maharani Jewels just debuted online this week and if it is not on your local Lancôme counter yet, it will be any day now.
