Coming Soon: Bobbi Brown’s “Old Hollywood” Holiday 2013 Collection

Published by

Lately, I find myself thinking this obsession with makeup has to end… But, with Christmas rapidly approaching and all the different, gorgeous holiday makeup collections popping up in stores like mushrooms… well, I don’t really think it will – at least not anytime soon. Following my Guerlain “Crazy Paris” fascination (around the beginning of the month) and my (very recent) Burberry Gold Collection fancy, I am now head over heels in love with the upcoming “Old Hollywood” make-up offering by Bobbi Brown. With prices ranging from $18- $75 the collection features: – A limited edition eye palette with nine (eye-catching!) eye- shadows (creamy white, pinky beige sparkle, champagne sparkle, light grey sparkle, dark heather grey, tan beige, brown sparkle, creamy beige shimmer and dark grey) – Three Long Wear Cream Shadow Sticks (in Tuxedo Black & -limited edition- 24 Karat and Bronze shades) – Four lip glosses (Siren Red and -high shimmer Candlelight, Rose and Pure Gold)– A classic ink liner (in Blackest Black) – Four, gorgeous, nail polishes (2 plain ones, in Siren Red …

Sunday Manicure (Vol.3)

Published by

Products used: Avon Nail Experts Revitacool Base Coat – No Longer Available Sephora Color Hit Nail Polish in no.51, Be a Rebel 5.40€ Erre Due Ceramic Top Coat 6.50€ First Impressions: This week’s nail polish is from the same Sephora line as last Sunday’s, so first impressions are pretty much similar. Application was precise and effortless (thanks to the very handy brush), the dark purple, “goth meets chic”, color glided on perfectly and dried real quick and I do believe that the overall result could very well be mistaken for a professional mani or even a shellac (thanks to the amazingly shiny, ceramic top coat by Erre Due). If last week is anything to go by, I think this will keep me happy until next Saturday – when time for the next “Sunday Manicure” comes…

Sunday Manicure (Vol.2)

Products used: Avon Nail Experts Advanced Mira- Cuticle Vanishing Complex & Avon Nail Experts Revitacool Base Coat – No Longer Available Sephora Color Hit Nail Polish in no.47, Cross the Line 5.40€ Erre Due Ceramic Top Coat 6.50€ First Impressions: I am very happy with today’s nail polish. First of all, it’s only 5.40€ (and, if you happen to get it on a special, like I did, you’ll get two for the price of one). It’s got an extremely handy brush, wide and flat (kinda like the Bourjois ones, but wider) which makes for a very precise and effortless application. The color glides on perfectly and is immediately a perfect match to what you see in the bottle  – so much so, that you could easily get away with only wearing one coat of this. The two coats I applied dried quickly enough to not drive me crazy (please note: I’m not a patient gal, so that would actually mean pretty darn quick) and the post top- coat application result leaves absolutely nothing to be …

While internet surfing and considering ideas for new posts, last night, I bumped into a presentation of Guerlain’s new Holiday 2013 make-up collection, “Crazy Paris”, and fell so head-over-heels in love that I absolutely had to feature it here.
