Bobbi Brown Holiday 2012 Collection - Caviar and Oyster

Thanksgiving is this week and that means that the holidays are really here and the parties will be beginning soon.  I don't have an major plans yet that I will need to buy new makeup and products for (finals week doesn't need new eyeliner!) but I am hopeful that I have to do some holiday makeup shopping very soon.  The Bobbi Brown counter holds a special allure for me every single time that I visit Macy*s and I am very excited to see that they have released their holiday color collection.  I loved their Desert Twilight collection for the fall months and now I really want to see what comes out for the holidays, Bobbi Brown is one of the best overall makeup collections.  This line contains products and shades for everyone and the quality is almost always impeccable.  I would love to buy more from this brand than I already do and I plan to start getting involved with their skincare line in the near future too.

The new holiday collection is named Caviar and Oyster.  This is the holiday color collection, a separate gift collection was released however I am much more interested in the individual products at the moment.  I have already began to order some gifts for my friends from Sephora and I am more looking for items for myself now, I am about halfway done with my gift shopping and don't really need to find more gift sets and palettes at the moment.  Caviar and Oyster might be one of the best holiday color collections that I have seen so far this season and it will be one of my favorites. 

Caviar and Oyster is described as "Tough Luxe" and it contains tons of silvers, charcoals, and foils for the eyes.  The lips are going to be covered in shades of shimmering lip glosses and I see that the new nail polish product will be back for this collection.  The nail polish is a newer product for this company and I am very happy that I am seeing it come out again in this collection, I would love another nail polish brand to collect even though I really don't need one. 

The newest from Bobbi Brown!

I love this collection, this is up there with my favorite five collections of these season.  My favorite piece of this collection is the Caviar and Oyster Palette, this contains all kinds of shades that will help me create a shimmering smoky eye and I will use this palette for any holiday party that I am invited to and then for the rest of the winter months, this might be one of the single best products that has come out this season.  This palette is reason enough for me to visit the counter, I just hope that it is still in stock by the time that I get there (tomorrow is Black Friday and I am not venturing to the mall for a makeup palette).

I also love many of the lip glosses in this collection.  My favorite is the Brightening Lip Gloss in Moonlight Pearl, this shimmering pink lilac is very unique and I own nothing like it in my collection.  This is one of those shades that can only really be worn by ladies with pale, cool skin and since that would be perfect for me, I will be buying this lip gloss.  I also want to buy the Shimmer Lip Gloss in Pink Oyster, this neutral pink shimmer will be a great shade for me for every season and I will wear it will all kinds of makeup looks.  Lastly, I want the Oyster lip gloss from the High Shimmer Lip Gloss line.  This iridescent pink shimmer will be lovely for dressing up.  All of these lip glosses will work in the winter months and then will still be perfect all through the spring months and into the summer.  Love this collection!
