I went to the Bobbi Brown counter in Macy*s and this collection was not out yet so I have still not been able to see it in real life, however I will be stalking the counter within the next few days. Bobbi Brown provides a description of the shades in the collection and her inspiration behind it. "Sun-swept nudes and pinks evoke a beautiful late summer glow." Based on this description, I feel that this collection was designed to be used in the very end of summer and early fall and I am betting that we will be seeing a second fall collection!
Here is the newest from Bobbi Brown!
Desert Twilight Eye Palette - The essence of late summer in eight sultry shades (for that tawny skin-glow that happens just before dusk). Featuring a mix-and-play palette of neutral shadows to transition you effortlessly from summer to fall; a light base shade, six medium lid shades, and a dark liner shade. Includes a dual-ended Eye Shadow and Eye Liner brush - all in a sleek mirrored compact - so you can apply everything like a pro.
- Navajo - creamy pinkish white (Satin)
- Twilight - pink bronze (Metallic)
- Pink Dusk - pink bronze mauve (Metallic)
- Water Color Pink - silver baby pink (Sparkle)
- Twilight Pink - pale nude pink (Metallic)
- Cement - gray beige (Satin)
- Dusk - silver heather pink (Sparkle)
- Chocolate Mauve - black chocolate plum (Satin)
Bronzer/Blush Duo - Blushed and bronzed - it's the best of both worlds (all in a sleek mirrored compact). Inspired by the look of skin bathed in the afternoon light, this double-duty set creates a warm tawny glow. On one side, our ultra-soft Illuminating Bronzing Powder in Pink Peony packs a blend of sheer powder and micro pearls (for a seamlessly glowing finish all over the face). The other side boasts our silky-smooth Shimmer Blush in Bahama Brown, the perfect way to add a pop of color to the apples of the cheeks. Simply use Bobbi's Blush Brush to create a beautifully blended 'late summer' glow.
- Bahama Brown Shimmer Blush - shimmering dusky pink
- Pink Peony Illuminating Bronzing Powder - bright pale pink
Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner - This award-winning liner gives you the look of liquid liner with the ease and feel of a gel formula. Long-wearing, water-resistant color glides on and lets you get it right just before it dries - then stays without a smear or crease.
- Twilight Night - black plum with golden shimmer
Long-Wear Cream Eye Shadow - Velvety smooth formula that goes on easily - and lasts all day without creasing or smearing. Fragrance free. Safe for contact lens wearers. Ophthamologist tested.
- Blue Moon - shimmering bright blue
Creamy Color for Lips and Cheeks - Buildable color that blends with ease - our new dual-purpose formula provides medium coverage for both lips and cheeks (now in a fuss-free tube). Wear it alone for a muted flush of color or layer it with your favorite blush for richer depth; the intensity is all up to you. Feels creamy-yet-sheer on skin and makes transitioning from summer to fall a breeze thanks to two versatile shades.
- Honeyed Tea - honey beige
- Pink Truffle - neutral pink rose
Lip Gloss - Bobbi has sized up all her glosses to give you an extra dose of shine. Lip Gloss is formulated with soothing botanical extracts - including Avocado, Jojoba, and Chamomile Oils, and Aloe Extract - to keep lips soft and supple; plus the new tapered applicator lets you apply it like a pro. Scented with a hint of vanilla.
- Evening Rose - heather brown
- Honeysuckle - nude pink
High Shimmer Lip Gloss - Bobbi's new lip gloss combines gorgeous, light-catching shimmer with lasting, non-sticky shine. Made with fine pearls and clear pigments, High Shimmer Lip Gloss stays color-true and gives lips beautiful, brilliant dimension. Plus, it's enriched with emollients and Vitamins C and E to moisturize, condition, and protect lips, so they feel as good as they look. Whether you wear it on its own or on top of your favorite Lip Color, the new tapered applicator lets you apply it like a pro.
- Bronzed Heather - pink nude with gold flecks
- Firefly - gold ivory with opal flecks
Shimmer Lip Gloss - Bobbi has sized up all of her lip glosses to give you an extra dose of shine. Shimmer Lip Gloss offers a beautiful, non-sticky shine with a touch of iridescence and is perfect on its own or over your favorite lipstick. Formulated with Aloe Extract to soothe and soften lips; Vitamins C and E for anti-oxidant protection; and Jojoba and Avocado Oils to moisturize lips.
- Pink Sunset - pink champagne
- Twilight - heather bronze
Nail Polish - New for nails! Bobbi does polish right: Rich color and desert-worthy hues instantly transform fingertips into your most covetable accessory for fall. Go twilight-glam with a shimmery plum shade boasting dark chocolaty depth or punctuate nails with an opaque blue - the color of polished turquoise.
- Twilight Shimmer - black chocolate plum
- Turquoise - flat vibrant turquoise
Desert Twilight Mini Brush Set - Perfectly packable in a metallic, faux-lether foldover case - whether you're headed out of town or just a night on the town: our Mini Brush Set features full-sized brush heads atop shortened handles in a new slimline design (for a flawless finish wherever you go). Set includes four brushes: Blush, Eye Sweep; Angle Eye Shadow, and Ultra Fine Eye Liner all in a compact case. The best part? There's a handy compartment in the case designed to hold our Desert Twilight Eye Palette, too (talk about super organized).
The Desert Twilight Eye Palette is simply perfect for me, I will use every single one of these shades and will be able to create more looks than I can currently imagine with this palette. This palette is one of the items that I must own this fall and I will calling up the counter to see when they except this palette to be in stock. I love the combination of finishes, the range of finishes and shades will allow me to make an eye look for any occasion with this palette.
In addition to the eye palette from this collection, I am coveting more than a few pieces of it. From the Gel Eye Liner, I want to buy the Twilight Night shade. I can see this deep shimmering plum selling out very quickly at the counters, I will need to add this one to my list when I call the counter. I was considering the Blush and Bronzer Duo but I doubt that I will be needing this product, as I have a great bronzer that I am currently using and should not need another one this summer. The Creamy Lip and Cheek Color in the Pink Truffle shade will be a great rose hue for both features this fall.
The lip shades have me very excited this collection, I am sensing that I will be buying a ton of new lip shades this season (even though lip products are the last area of my makeup collection that needs to grow after everything that I have bought over the past seasons). From the regular Lip Gloss formula, I love the Honeysuckle shade. This neutral pink will work well all year long and will work with any eye makeup look, my must have list is getting longer and longer... I like shades in both of the shimmering formulas but I don't need them the way that I need the Honeysuckle shade. From the High Shimmer formula, the Bronzed Heather shade will work well with a bronze smokey eye. To round out my collection choices, the last piece that I want is the Shimmer Lip Gloss in Pink Sunset.
I am excited to see that Bobbi Brown is getting into the nail polish market and I hope that more shades will be coming out within the next few seasons. I will be searching for reviews on these two shades, I don't plan on purchasing either of them since the brown will be too warm to be flattering and I already own two cream aqua shades.
I love this collection and I am still willing to bet that a second fall collection will be coming soon. This collection could be considered a late summer or early fall collection, it is more of a transition collection than a traditional fall. That being said, I will be getting in touch with the counter so that I can get my top picks from the collection right now, I will start wearing them now and then all the way into the fall!
