]]> If anyone knows how to make cosmetics for women of all ages, it is Bobbi Brown. Her collections are timeless. Her palettes are truly some of my favorites.

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.

Luxurious Lancôme. http://www.splendicity.com/agingfabulous/ahhh-luxurious-lancome/ http://www.splendicity.com/agingfabulous/ahhh-luxurious-lancome/#comments Mon, 25 Jun 2007 11:50:00 +0000 Teri Cosenzi http://www.agingfabulous.com/ahhh-luxurious-lancome/ Post from: Aging Fabulous

]]> When I was first “allowed” to wear makeup, I drooled over the department store makeup counters. I was always afraid to go up to the Lancôme counter, as I thought it was beyond my reach, price wise. It stuck out from the other department stores as more higher end. It was luxury.

While I now know that Lancôme is within my reach, and comparable in price to most other department store brands, one thing I was not wrong about is that Lancôme is luxury.

My luxurious Lancôme has one of the prettiest Summer eye palettes on the counters now. This palette is from Lancôme’s Summer Tropiques collection, titled Color Design Survival Palette. There are two color combinations for this four shadow palette. One is Summer Tropiques, which includes a beautiful green, a lilac pink, a pure pink, and a nude color. The other is named Bronzed Captive, and includes the sleekest sky blue, a nude color, a taupe, and a pretty peach.

One look at this palette will have you hooked. The palette itself, made with beautiful pearlescent shells, is what inspired the shades in each palette.

Color Design Survival Palette retails for $42.00 is available at Lancôme counters and online now.
