I am very curious about these palettes, even more so now that Julia from All About the Pretty raved about them so much when I saw her last week. Bobbi Brown knows palettes, and I think she has another winner on her hands with her newly designed Custom Palettes.

You select from a three pan or a four pan palette, both of which are mirrored, and you select from Eye Shadow, Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow, Blush or Shimmer Blush - or a combo of any - and fill up the palette.

First, I want to know where are the lip shades? Surely they are in development, as we need our Bobbi Brown Lip Color and Lip Gloss.

Another product I think that needs to be made in pan palette size is a bronzer - oh, and a concealer and powder too. That would be perfect.

Next, as I am looking to come up with my mix of shades, I notice my favorite Bobbi shades are not there. Agh - I cannot live without my Smoke shadow as I use it as my eye liner almost daily! But I suppose I could throw my single pan in separately - if I must;).

Really, this palette system is a fabulous idea as it brings us back to the basics of Bobbi Brown.   I would fill up a four pan palette with shadows and a three pan palette with the blush. Each empty palette costs $10, the shadows sell for $20 each and the blush for $22 each.

I cannot wait to see what more becomes available, because if I know Bobbi, she will have all of her regular shades available and add more products for the ultimate customization.

I think that this powder might just revolutionize the way we think of our complexions. I think we can all agree that we want to look as flawless as possible, and flawless (as close to it) is what you get from this new amazing powder. This is Make Up For Ever High Definition Powder.

This powder is a completely universal, unbelievable, must-have product for any and every skin tone. You really need to see and feel this to believe it. Even more exciting is that this powder is the first formulation in Make Up For Ever's complete HD Collection.

This formula is incredibly soft and satiny and uses ultra fine, spherical micro-particles made of 100% Mineral Silica Powder. These extremely refined, round micro-particles allow natural and artificial light to reflect off of them, thereby softening and ultimately masking lines and imperfections for a perfect, radiant complexion on
screen and in real life.

Tested by professionals in front of HD cameras, the satin textured HD Powder not only sets foundation and slightly mattifies skin, but completely evens out the complexion for a glowing, radiant look. While the powder is a milky white color in the jar, the formula is utterly translucent once applied to skin, making it the ideal finishing powder for all skin tones from light to deep.

HD Powder is completely talc free and paraben free and will not dehydrate skin. 100% Mineral Silica Powder makes it safe for even sensitive skin types.

This is available at Sephora and Sephora.com for $30.00. Look for a special Kabuki brush to pair with the powder making application super simple coming up in August.

No one quite does a lipgloss like MAC. Their lipglass' rank amongst some of my favorite glosses, ever. Their newest collection is a brand new collection of gloss called Dazzleglass. Like the names says, these glosses will dazzle your lips with super duper shine and a pop of color.

"High-shine + large particle quartz and opal crystal captured in a great new formula with light-reflecting, crystalline iridescence." I am sure these beauties are on the list (and soon to be lips) of many.

Sixteen shades in all:
Comet Blue
Funtabulous
Ms. Fizz
Like Venus
Baby Sparks
Money Honey
Rags to Riches
Date Night
Spanking Rich
Get Rich Quick
Bare Necessity
Steppin' Out
Glamour O.D.
Sugarrimmed
Pleasure Principal
Love Alert

These are limited edition glosses, I repeat, limited edition so grab one or two, or all of them, while you can. 

As I am often asked what my favorite products are (which, yes, I do have some some) I go through spurts of new products that I try and become obsessed with - if even just temporarily. I thought about how to tell you, in a simple way, which products I am using or have used recently over and over, thus the products I am currently obsessed with.  I thought that the easiest way to do this would be to make it a regular feature. So every once in a while when I find myself obsessed with either a single product or a group of them, I will post them in a post and under the category Currently Obsessed.

Right now I am currently obsessed with some old favorites and some new beauties too.

Lancome Resurface Microdermabrasion Body Polishing Treatment - I have been using this a few times a week to slough away the dead winter skin and keep skin prepared for my self-tanning applications. read post on Resurface

CHANEL just sent out a press release with the news of the new face to star in the next No.5 advertising film.

Once again CHANEL has commissioned a director and his muse to write a new page in the love story between the cinema and No.5.

CHANEL has chosen Jean-Pierre Jeunet to direct the next No.5 advertising film, with the French actress Audrey Tautou starring in the leading role. Following the films "Amelie" and "The Long Engagement," this will be the third collaboration between Audrey Tautou and Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

I cannot wait to see it next year. 

Looking for a foundation and brush? How about a nifty little package with both a foundation and brush - all in one simple, easy to apply package? Milani, right from your favorite drugstore, has a few of just this type of product for you.

Milani Minerals Loose Makeup with an exclusive twist down brush.

Available in ten shades, this loose powder is talc-free. The easy to use brush makes application effortless providing impeccable, flawless, build able coverage.

Another foundation from Milani is a liquid foundation, with the brush attached as well. It is the Glow Natural Brush-On Liquid Foundation. This is a large tube that foundation is clicked up through to apply right through the brush. This is ultra-portable for touch-ups. Glow Natural comes in four perfect shades.

Milani Cosmetics are available at CVS, Walgreens, and mass merchandiser's such as Target. 

Genius ideas! 

I thought that the new SPF 30 Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer from Stila was going to be my tinted moisturizer for this Summer, but I may be wrong. I am currently obsessed with the new one from La Mer. It is La Mer The SPF18 Fluid Tint.

Combining it's almost miraculous skincare formula with a must wear sunscreen and a subtle tint, not only does this tint give your skin a bit of a very natural sun-kissed glow, but it is moisturizing and protecting from the sun.

Fluid Tint absorbs instantly into the skin leaving, while gliding over effortlessly. The color is real and natural, available in three shades: Light, Medium, and Dark. I was using the light shade, but now with a bit of a faux tan, the medium shade blends well with my skin tone.

Like all of the La Mer products, this is far from ordinary.  The company's infamous formula, gemstones absorb light energy transforming it into beneficial "green light" to boost it's anti-oxidant properties.  It also contains photonic spheres that redirect and diffuse light, while light-reactive seaweeds impart natural humectant properties to keep skin moisturized, thus preventing dehydration.

A 1.7 oz. of the SPF18 Fluid Tint is $65, available at La Mer counters  in Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and online at lamer.com.
