Bobbi Brown Summer 2010 Collection - Beach Club

Bobbi Brown's newest collection is another beach oriented collection. Considering how good of luck I had this summer so far with To The Beach, I am very happy to see another collection that could be quite similar in products and shades. I have read that this collection is considered to be more sophisticated and easier to wear than some of the products in To The Beach. Which I am super pumped about since those are the shades that I didn't purchase from the collection. The Bobbi Brown website describes the collection, "Shy about shimmer? Give us 5 minutes. We'll make you glow." Every product in the promo picture has a shimmer finish so I feel that this collection might be better in pieces and not worn all at the same time.

Let's find out...

Beach Shimmer Brick - Bobbi's NEW Beach Shimmer Brick Compact is hand-made in Italy and features five bars of warm, pearlized shimmer to create a beautiful seaside glow. Run the Face Blender Brush across all five shades and lightly dust over cheeks and forehead. Or wear just one shade on your eyes for subtle glimmer.

Inspired by the beach, our latest Metallic Long-Wear Cream Shadow comes in glistening pastels from ocean blue to oyster pink. Available in 4 new shades.

beach Body Oil - A unique, moisturizing body oil that gives skin a sultry sheen as it scents with beach fragrance. Contains four essential oils (Olive, Sesame, Avocado, and Jojoba) and Vitamins E and C to soften and nourish skin

Very pretty! The shimmer in this collection is more subtle than I originally thought so this is very easy collection to pull off. A big help is that the Lip Treatment for this collection is a clear shade so the wearer will not be full on shimmer. I would like to get a bottle of the beach fragrance, but since this is rather late in the season for me to buy warm weather items, I will remember it for next spring. I will pass on the Shimmer Brick since the warm tones will not allow me to use it all over my face. I like several of the new eye makeup shades. I want to get the Metallic Long-wear Pink Oyster and the Long-wear in Shore. I am also curious about the Cream Shadow Brush, I have always used my fingers for application and I wonder what type of finish and coverage is created with the use of the brush.
