Bobbi Brown has introduced the Holiday 2009 Chrome Collection, with a little something for everybody. Always a favorite, this year's Bobbi Brown Holiday makeup collection gleams with eye shadows in silver, gold and pewter. The Glitter Lip Palette sparkles and shines. Stocking stuffers prove good things come in small packages!
My picks of the Bobbi Brown Holiday 2009 Chrome Collection include:
Limited Edition Chrome Eye Shadow: Nothing says holiday glamour like eyes dressed up in new Chrome Eye Shadow. Developed with highly reflective pearls, this opulent formula looks like liquid metal on lids and reflects light beautifully. Featured in a signature eye shadow compact, customized for the season with a luxe chrome finish. $22

Bobbi Brown has created the Pink Ribbon Collection; a beautiful limited-edition lip set in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This set features an exclusive new shade of Creamy Lip Color and a limited-edition Glitter Lip Balm. To create awareness of this special cause, the pink ribbon logo has been screened onto the Glitter Lip Balm compact.
The colors in this lip set are very wearable; the Blush Pink Creamy Lip Color and Pink Crystal Glitter Lip Balm are universally flattering. Bobbi Brown will be donating $35,000 in connection with the North American sales of the Pink Ribbon Collection to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
The Bobbi Brown Pink Ribbon Collection has a suggested retail price of $40.00 and is available at all Bobbi Brown counters in the USA and at www.bobbibrown.com.
Kherington Payne sparkled at the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie, Fame, on Thursday night. Celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali worked her magic on Kherington, with a graphic,
smokey eye, pretty golden skin and shimmery nude mouth.
To start, Vanessa prepped the
skin with Lancôme's Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate. This was followed by Lancôme's Effacernes
in Light Bisque, Vanessa’s favorite formula, which was dabbed
underneath the eyes. Bobbi Brown’s Foundation Stick was applied on
select areas with a small brush and blended with the fingers. Lancôme's
Blush Subtil in Sheer Amourose delivered a glowy look and was accented with
Giorgio Armani Beauty's Fluid Sheer #2 on the cheek and brow
bones. A dusting of Lancôme's Photôgenic Sheer Loose Powder, just
on the T-zone.
For Kherington’s dramatic eyes, Vanessa layered Shu Uemura's Pressed Eye Shadow in ME Black #990 and ME Olive #471.
Lancôme's Le Crayon Khôl in Black Ebony defined and elongated the lash line, and was paired with Shu Uemura's Painting Liner in Black just at the lash line (on the top lid only) and on the inner rim of the eye. The finishing touch: a few generous coats of Lancôme's Ôscillation Mascara in Black. Finally, Lancôme's La Laque Fever Lipshine in Iridescent tied the entire look together.
I think it's a fantastic look that can be recreated at home. I definitely plan to try it!

Fashion's Night Out, a celebration of retail and fashion, will kick off New York Fashion Week on Thursday, September 10, 2009. Fashion's Night Out was conceptualized by Anna Wintour as an attempt to boost sales in a tough economic environment. Vogue partners with the CFDA and NYC & Co. to host an evening extravaganza, full of appearances by fashion and beauty's elite, the likes of which have never been seen.
A seasoned shopaholic, I can't wait for Fashion's Night Out. I'll be covering the event as part of New York Fashion Week. With so many fantastic venues to choose from, I've narrowed my list to these can't-miss picks:
While Fashion's Night Out promises to be full of fun, the evening will also benefit two worthwhile charities: A limited edition t-shirt (see photo above) will be sold by participating retailers, with 40% of the proceeds going to National September 11 Memorial and Museum at The World Trade Center. In addition, a citywide clothing drive will support the NYC AIDS fund.
Every day that gets closer to Fashion's Night Out, I get an update more amazing than the day before it, so keep checking FashionsNightOut.com for the most up-to-date information. It's also where you can find links to retailers and even compose and email your own itinerary. Now...how to be in more than one place at a time?!
The Bobbi Brown Ivy League Collection brings beautiful shades of Fall with new colors and textures. This is the kind of back-to-school shopping I like!
To start, Bobbi introduces a new Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Forest Shimmer Ink. To create the shade, Bobbi blended deepest green with golden pearls to create a liner that really makes eyes pop. I adore the Long-Wear Gel Eyeliners--they give rich, pigmented color that lasts and lasts. $21
Bobbi also adds two new pearlized Eye Shadows for illuminated lids in
Autumn Shimmer Wash (pictured) and Bash Metallic ($20) and her Angle Eye Shadow Brush ($28) which is ideal for
applying shadow in the corner, in the crease or all over the lid. These formulas give eyes a fresh look.
The Creamy Eye Pencil is designed to apply smoothly and evenly and features
a built-in smudger for a softer, smoky effect. Available in 9 shades including:
Jet, Walnut, Caviar, Midnight, Hunter, Brown Plum, Dusk, Charcoal and Mahogany. $20
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. Including a custom-sized sharpener, the Lip Crayon will be available in six shades: Honeysuckle, Coral Pink, Raisin Berry, Posey, Dusty Nude, Wild Rose. $22
The Bobbi Brown Fall 2009 Ivy League Collection is available this month at all Bobbi Brown counters and online at BobbiBrown.com

Bobbi Brown has introduced the Illuminating Bronze Collection, a beautiful way to get that sun-kissed glow on face and body for summer.
The Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronze Collection includes:
New, Illuminating Bronzing Powder. Using a unique and innovative blend of sheer powder and micro pearls, the Iluminating Bronzing Powder glides on evenly and gives skin a natural-looking glow. I've been using the Antigua shade and absolutely love it.
I sometimes have a difficult time with bronzers; either I look ashy or washed out. Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzing Powder really delivers the perfect summer glow! This powder is very finely milled and has a touch of shimmer to it; again, just the right amount to give you a sun-kissed glow. Antigua is natural looking, probably a bit more of a cool shade. Available in six shades. $33
