Bobbi Brown Holiday 2009 Collection - Chrome Collection

The newest collection from Bobbi Brown is all about parties and lighting up the night. Called the Chrome Collection, the promo picture is all about shades of silver and frosty makeup. The whole makeup look is on the cooler side and may leave out those with warmer toned complexions but once we look at the products, we may find some warmer toned shades. Frosty shades can be way too much when done wrong but Bobbi manages to balance out her collection in such a way that will make it very hard for the user to overdo and create a bad 1970s disco queen look.

I love this collection at first glance and let's look at it without further delay...

Chrome Palette - Bobbi's cool, contemporary take on holiday beauty. Icy, shimmering accents on eyes and lips cast an iridescent glow on the face. Inside this chrome-accented fold-out palette, you'll find everything you need to deck yourself out for the season: 10 Eye Shadows, 4 Lip Shades, a Mini Eye Shadow Brush, and a Mini Lip Brush.

Extreme Party Mascara - Our boldest mascara ever. Unbelivable volume. Endless build. Exceptional separation. Pliable formula stays flexible even after it dries, so each coat goes on as a fresh as the first - immediately or hours later -with zero dragging, clumping or flaking. Tapered brush grabs even the smallest, hard-to-reach lashes. Now that's beautiful.

Metallic Lip Color - Shimmer like you've never seen - or felt - before. Metallic Lip Color features a unique combination of high-shine emollients and light-reflective pearls. This creamy lipstick feels soft and comfortable on lips, and offers medium coverage. Just for the Holidays, Bobbi has created two NEW shades, Chrome (a pale silver) and Plum Pearl (a golden plum) for a quick and easy way to look party-perfect. Black lipstick case features metallic chrome detailing.
- Chrome - pale silver
- Plum Pearl - golden plum

Lip Color - This creamy, semi-matte lipstick gives lip instant polish with rich, full coverage. Just for the Holidays, Bobbi has created a NEW shade, Port (a deep plum) for a quick and easy way to look party-perfect. Black lipstick case features metallic chrome detailing.
- Port - deep plum

Long - Wear Gel Eyeliner - This award-winning liner offers the precision of a liquid liner and the ease of a gel-based formula.
- Black Ink - jet black

Chrome Eye Shadow - Nothing says Holiday glamour like eyes all 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 our signature Eye Shadow compact, customized for the season with a luxe chrome finish.
- Gold - gold metallic
- Pewter - cool bronze metallic
- Silver - silver metallic

Chrome Mini Brush Set - When space is premium, downsize with the Chrome Mini Brush Set. Offers three of Bobbi's must have brushes - Mini Face Blender, our new Mini Angle Eye Shadow, and Mini Eye Liner - in palm-of-your-hand sizes. A chrome faux-leather zip-around case protects brushes for years of use.

Chrome Beauty Kit - Like a portable vanity table. Roomy enough to organize all your beauty essentials at home; sleek and luxe to satisfy your wildest travel-in-style fantasy. Our Chrome Beauty Kit has two large zip-around compartments for every last moisturizer, foundation, and gloss-plus pockets for all your brushes and a detachable mirror.

The Chrome Eye Shadows I have wanted ever since I saw them on the Muse's blog and hopefully they will not disappoint when I try them out next time that I get to the counter. I love how this collection just screams "Holiday" and getting dressed up and going out. From this collection, I want all three of the shadows, the palette, and the Beauty Kit. I want to try the Extreme Party Mascara but I have heard very mixed reviews on it from other bloggers so I will try it out for myself and keep an open mind. None of the lip colors look like anything that I would like so I doubt that I will be picking any of them up.
