Bobbi Brown Goes Back to School with Her Fall Collection.

At some point, doesn't everyone want to claim they are part of the Ivy League? We can all claim that when picking up the brand new fall collection from Bobbi Brown, appropriately titled, Ivy League.

The collection focuses on pencils.

Pencils are back in a big way for fall. They’re quick, mistake-proof and can go from subtle to bold in one easy stroke. – Bobbi Brown

For this new collection, Bobbi introduces her new and improved Creamy Eye Pencil. This beauty applies effortlessly as it draws on smoothly and evenly. I am loving that on the opposite end of the pencil, there is a built-in smudger to gently smoke out your line, or make it softer.

Also, and back by popular demand, Bobbi’s Lip Crayons are now a permanent part of the line! The amazing lip formula combines the luxurious feel of a lipstick with the ease and convenience of a jumbo, crayon-inspired pencil. The mint taste is unexpected and welcome as you simply glide on the pencil for a smooth finish. Be blown away as it leaves a bit of shine too. Including a custom-sized sharpener, the Lip Crayon will be available in six shades: Honeysuckle, Coral Pink, Raisin Berry , Posey, Dusty Nude, Wild Rose.

Bobbi's Ivy League Collection also includes a fresh, new spin on fall’s strong eye. I am head over heels with the addition of the Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Forest Shimmer Ink. The liner is a beautiful, deep green with golden pearls spun into it. Bobbi also adds two new pearlized eye shadows for illuminated lids in Autumn Shimmer Wash and Bash Metallic, and her Angle Eye Shadow Brush, which is ideal for applying shadow in the corner, in the crease or all over the lid.

Fall 2009: Estée Lauder Sensuous Gold Color Collection.

For fall this year, Estée Lauder has created Sensuous Gold - a uniquely feminine, luxurious new color collection for fall 2009. Using soft nuances of color with rich tints, tones and washes, Sensuous Gold gently brings out an inner radiance and reveals the softer side of every woman.

Skin is luminous, warm and radiant in a soft veil of golden tones.

Eyes are delicately defined in soft shades of golden amber and peach accented by rich, regal amethyst.

Lips are luxuriously dressed for the season in sateen finishes of coppery nudes and supple plums.

Sensuous Gold creates a look that is at once sophisticated, luxurious and naturally feminine. Completing the impression is the distinctly modern and luxurious rose golden packaging.

Signature 5-Tone Shimmer Powder for Eyes, Cheeks, Face - $36

This brand new powder has a unique wave-like tablet design of five beautifully sheer, iridescent shades combined in one luxurious, signature navy blue compact. Available in two unique shade palettes – a cool Pink Shimmer shade palette and a warm Bronze Shimmer shade palette, Signature 5-Tone Shimmer Powder for Eyes, Cheeks and Face complements any skin tone. Each of the two powders’ luxurious, silky
shades can be used alone on eyes and cheeks for precise color and highlighting or can be blended together for a soft, luminous glow on face, shoulders and décolletage. Weightless and incredibly silky, the powder’s high-pearl formula is color-true and provides an even, buildable application that won’t streak or settle into pores. Apply it liberally for a luxuriously soft, luminous radiance that glows.

Gilded Rose Marbleized Shimmer Powder - $36

This powder is a luxurious handcrafted, marbleized domed face powder of illuminating rose gold tones that shimmer like precious minerals. Inspired by Italian marble crafts and artistry, the mineralized powder provides a dimensional, yet natural shimmer in a perfectly sheer wash of luminous color. Plus, the powder’s unique, shimmering formula is comfortable to wear, thanks to a sophisticated baked powder technology that gives the powder an incredibly creamy feel on the skin. Silky, smooth and luminous, the powder is appropriate for all skintones and comes encased in a luxurious rose golden boudoir powder box with a specially designed half moon brush for the perfect application.

Lancôme's Declaring Indigo Fall Collection + Beauty Exclusive!

A few weeks ago in the great city of Paris, the Lancôme makeup team introduced the beautiful new fall collection, entitled Declaring Indigo. I am sure you have already guessed that the line is "blue" in theme.

The entire collection was created by Lancôme artistic director for makeup Aaron De Mey. He said that this collection celebrates Paris in all its vibrancy. Mr. De May chose shades that represent the glamour, the energy and the passion of Paris — indigo blue, bright red and luxurious gold. Beautiful!

Declaring Indigo will be available for sale starting in August. In the mean-time, Nordstrom has a limited-edition Declaring Indigo Brush & Makeup Bag Set available for pre-ordering for their Beauty Exclusives event.
