Guest Post: Pretty Powerful

It seems everytime I walk by a Bobbi Brown counter, I get seduced by the pretty packaging and beautiful wearable colors. Slowly but surely my entire makeup stash is bearing the name of Bobbi Brown. I live for her gel eyeliners, which do.not.budge and cream blush, which provides the perfect flush that reads as if you just came in from a jaunt outside. The queen of wearable color has released several sultry, smoldering palettes for her Holiday 2010 collection that has popped up in retailers across the nation.
Sparkle Glamour Quad ($40)
Crystal Eye Palette ($45)
Day to Night Eye Palette in Cool ($45)
Pink & Gold Lip Palette ($45)
 Deluxe Travel Kit ($115)
Do tell, which one of these products can you not resist?
Stop by my blog to see which of the above now belongs to yours truly.

Pregnancy Glow: Revealed!

Over the past 9 months, I've gotten many compliments on my "glowing" skin. I must admit, while the sentiments are truly lovely, in all honesty, I can't attribute my glow to the little man inside. I've decided to reveal my secret to you to make sure you're not mislead to think pregnancy = automatic glow. Read: "don't get pregnant just for the glow!" Most days my skin appears pretty dull sans makeup because of the limited sleep (interrupted every two hours for bladder breaks) I'm getting. Without a few key products, I'm absolutely NOTHING...
If you're an avid reader of this blog, you've already learned that my heart belongs to the following staples to prep the face {post moisturizer}:
1st: Foundation - Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
2nd: Under Eye "pick-me-up" - Chanel Stylo Eclat Lumiere
3rd: And for that GLOW, I use Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzing Powder in "Aruba."
4th: Add your blush (I use BB) either on the apples or in an upward, sweeping motion across the cheeks.

There you have it folks. While being pregnant makes me beam with delight, the glow is up for grabs!
Go make your own  :  )

Bobbi Brown: The Nautical Collection, Summer 2009



I am a Bobbi Brown fanatic. I love everything Bobbi from the vitamin enriched base {the smell is incredible} to every last lip gloss. I love her philosophy on makeup application {less is more & be natural} & her staff's approach to selling makeup {they will never put pressure on you to buy}.

This summer, her Nautical line of makeup will set sail {& dock itself in my makeup bag}. The line was inspired by her bicycle trip to Normandy & the naturally beautiful locals she saw there.



Cheek Tints (limited $22)
  • Sheer Raspberry
  • Sheer Lilac
  • Sheer Pink
  • Sheer Mauve
  • Sheer Coral
  • Sheer Blackberry



Lip Glosses ($20) in:
  • Marina Pink
  • Cabana Coral
  • Sailor
  • Popsicle
*I recently purchased Cabana Coral & it is so beautiful, light & sheer. I know I will be back to get a cheek tint because I love the idea of a light creamy blush for the summer!*

The Nautical Collection is the perfect compliment to that blue & white sailor shirt you've been eying. Aye Aye Captain!
