Bobbi just launched a collection of palettes, exclusively for Nordstrom. These are the Metallics.

Could it be more beautiful? This is the Burnt Sugar Metallics palette. These shimmery, highly pigments shadows are adorning my eyes today. And they are beautiful! The powders are so soft, that they almost feel creamy. The shadows are formulated for all-day wear, and my lids are showing no signs of creasing.

Pictured from left to right: Toffee, Gold Dust and Burnt Sugar. I used Gold Dust over my entire eye lid, from lash line to the top of my brow. I then applied Burnt Sugar over most of my lid, just not bringing it all the way into the inner corner, near my nose. I used a bit of the Toffee shade in my crease, and extended it upward and outward, to give my eye a bit of a smoky look. Finally, I dipped my eyeliner brush into Toffee as well, and lined my upper and lower lash line. Beautiful!!!

There are three more Metallic palettes, including Mignight Metallics that feature Platinum, Rockstar and Midnight; Velvet Plum Metallics which feature Raisin, Champagne Quartz and Velvet Plum; and Forest Metallics, with the shades Sage, Balsam and Forest.

Each Bobbi Brown Metallics palette sell for $45, and are exclusive to Nordstrom.

As I will be the big 4-0 next week, I decided a few months ago that I needed to be serious about taking a bit of time for myself each day. And with simply watching what I eat and making better choices, along with walking my five plus miles a day, I have lost 12 pounds in the past month. While I watched the numbers go down on the scale each week, it didn’t hit me until I went to get some new Summer clothes last week. I had to keep sending my hubby back to the racks to get me smaller sizes. WHOO HOO!

In celebration, I just found myself at Nordstrom.com to pick up a few more items for my trip to Las Vegas next week. What do you think?

I love summer dresses, and am so happy that polka dots are making somewhat of a statement this year. And I think that it won’t matter whether I wear this day or night, I could dress it up or down either way.

I also picked up this what wrap linen blouse to go with jeans, capri’s, or even my nice black linen pants. You can’t go wrong with a white summery blouse.

My goal for the end of the Summer is to be down another size. Let’s hope I make it!
