Holiday 2009: Bobbi Brown

Wow, it’s hard to believe that the holidays are just around the corner (they come earlier each year, don’t they?), but it’s true! News of all the beautiful makeup collections for the season has been rolling in for weeks now, but I’ve held out on posting. But from now through the end of the year, stay tuned for amazing holiday gift ideas and pro tips on festive makeup looks for party season, along with our regularly scheduled reviews.

First up is Bobbi Brown’s new Chrome Collection. Hitting counters this November is the Chrome Palette- her cool, contemporary take on holiday beauty. Featuring icy shimmering accents for eyes and lips, this chrome fold-out palette includes everything you need to create countless party-ready looks including: 10 eye shadows, 4 lip shades, a Mini Eye Shadow Brush and a Mini Lip Brush.

Chrome lips are another trend Bobbi loves for the holiday season- which is why she is introducing three new limited edition products for lips: Port Lip Color, Chrome Metallic Lip Color and Plum Pearl Metallic Lip Color. These look really dramatic and gorgeous, though I’m not sure how wearable the Chrome is beyond layering.

The collection also includes Bobbi’s holiday Chrome Mini Brush Set- the perfect present for the beauty-junkie in your life (or yourself!). The set, which comes in a chrome zip-around cases features a Mini Face Blender, the new Mini Angle Eye Shadow Brush and a Mini Eye Liner brush.
