Bobbi Brown Goes Back to School with Her Fall Collection.

At some point, doesn't everyone want to claim they are part of the Ivy League? We can all claim that when picking up the brand new fall collection from Bobbi Brown, appropriately titled, Ivy League.

The collection focuses on pencils.

Pencils are back in a big way for fall. They’re quick, mistake-proof and can go from subtle to bold in one easy stroke. – Bobbi Brown

 


For this new collection, Bobbi introduces her new and improved Creamy Eye Pencil. This beauty applies effortlessly as it draws on smoothly and evenly. I am loving that on the opposite end of the pencil, there is a built-in smudger to gently smoke out your line, or make it softer.

Also, and back by popular demand, Bobbi’s Lip Crayons are now a permanent part of the line! The amazing lip formula combines the luxurious feel of a lipstick with the ease and convenience of a jumbo, crayon-inspired pencil. The mint taste is unexpected and welcome as you simply glide on the pencil for a smooth finish. Be blown away as it leaves a bit of shine too. Including a custom-sized sharpener, the Lip Crayon will be available in six shades: Honeysuckle, Coral Pink, Raisin Berry , Posey, Dusty Nude, Wild Rose.

Bobbi's Ivy League Collection also includes a fresh, new spin on fall’s strong eye. I am head over heels with the addition of the Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Forest Shimmer Ink. The liner is a beautiful, deep green with golden pearls spun into it. Bobbi also adds two new pearlized eye shadows for illuminated lids in Autumn Shimmer Wash and Bash Metallic, and her Angle Eye Shadow Brush, which is ideal for applying shadow in the corner, in the crease or all over the lid.

LashBlast Length Mascara from COVERGIRL.

I was excited when I heard about this brand new LashBlast from COVERGIRL, and I cannot wait to try it. You can also be one of the first to try it as well.

This latest addition to the LashBlast family is the latest in lash fashion! It is called LashBlast Length Mascara. The mascara contains nylon for lashes that are 80 percent longer and they won’t flake or break all day.

Check it out! On August 17th, limited quantities of this new mascara will be available as a special presale. All you have to do is visit COVERGIRL.COM/lashblastlength starting August 17th for this early purchase. The website will not be live until the 17th, but I will be sure to post a reminder early that morning.

LashBlast Length will be available in store beginning in September for $7.49. This is one I cannot wait to try, as I am so fond of the original.

My New FAVE Foundation: Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Hydrating Makeup SPF 10.

I think we can agree that it is my "job" to try beauty products. I have tried so many and highlight so much of what I like here on Beautiful Makeup Search. Alas, once in a while, there is a product that just blows me away and ladies, this is it. Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Hydrating Makeup is the foundation I have been searching for.

First of all, when I need coverage, I want my foundation to cover, but not look like a mask. I want my skin, minus the age spots, hyperpigmentation and wrinkles to show through. I want my skin to look healthy. Obviously, I would like the makeup to look as perfect, as I think it can. I also want it to last and look nice all day long. Diorskin Nude does all that and then some.

And then some? Yes, my skin looks better than ever when using it and I love how I can play with the coverage. I do not want heavier coverage for the day, when I usually use a tinted moisturizer. But there are times that I want to build up my foundation, and this foundation is very build able. Using my handy Beautyblender Sponge (more on that soon!), I can stipple the makeup just where I need the foundation to cover more and where it can be used lighter.

The fact that the formula is hydrating and contains an SPF of 10 is a definite plus as well. The liquid is hydrating enough to quench my dry skin all throughout the day, but never looking to "glowy" or oily. Believe it or not, I do not even using setting powder with this foundation. Perfection!

A unique blend of 100% natural mineral pigments and Dior's innovative Mineralized Water delivers an energizing cocktail for your complexion. Over time, your skin looks more beautiful, with and without makeup!

Diorskin Nude comes in a nice range of shades to compliment various skin shades and undertones. I am using the shade Sand, and it compliments my skin tone (in the summer) perfectly.

There is a coordinating Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Fresh Powder Makeup, for those who like to shy away from liquid foundations. If you are at all hesitant to try this (in either form), do not be. For this to receive status as one of my favorites is not to be taken lightly - and I mean that.

Diorskin Nude can be found at makeup counters at Nordstom, Nordstrom.com and Sephora.com for $45.00.
