Bobbi Brown Face Lift collection 2010

Posted on

” I designed this collection to give women the opportunity to look fresh and radiant in as little as 5 minutes! ”  - Bobbi Brown

Immediately younger, fresher, and more radiant in 5 minutes? The solution: Makeup Face Lift !

Extra Eye Repair Cream is enriched with peptides, natural plant oils, and moisturizing ingredients to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness. This rich, concentrated eye cream cares for, intensely moisturizes, and refreshes the delicate eye area.

Bobbi’s Tinted Eye Brightener is now available in a new, more practical pen form. With only a quick turn and a click this feather light concealer is released through the brush to brighten shadows around the eye. For a fresh, more awake look.

Available in 8 shades:

Bisque, Porcelain Peach, Bisque, Peach, Bisque, Dark Peach, Dark Bisque, Deep Peach

Defined eyebrows form the perfect frame for the face. The new brow pencil, a creamy pencil that can be lightly smudged, gives eyebrows natural definition like an eyebrow powder, but with the precision of a pencil.

Available in five shades:

Blonde, Mahogany, Grey, Wheat, Ash

I am a strong believer  in brow shaping & grooming, I like shading my brows with pencil, then blending with brow brush for a polished, natural finish.

I hope the annoying issue of fluorescent white illumination under UV lightning ( aka disco light ) had be rectified with this new version of tinted eye brightener.

Estee Lauder Blacker than Black collection

Posted on

Estée Lauder’s scientists figured out how to put pure black pigments ( Carbon Black and Black Iron Oxides ) through an ultrasonic process in order to give them a deep, inky color you usually don’t find outside of falsies.

A luxurious collection of rich, intensely saturated black mascaras and sultry, smoky accents for big, bold, dramatically alluring eyes.

Now beautifully bold, dramatic eyes are just a wave of the wand away. Don’t be shy, make your eyes the center of attention with Estée Lauder’s new Blacker Than Black eye collection. This unique collection features six of Estée Lauder’s most popular mascara formulas each in a richer, more concentrated, more dramatic black shade for eyes that appear bigger, bolder, more dramatic!

Because the mascara is so concentrated, it creates a contrast that defines and frames the eyes for a look that is at once highly sophisticated and utterly alluring.

Whether your look calls for lashes that are lengthened, defined, volumized, lifted, curled or a combination, you can achieve the look you want as each of these luxurious mascaras offer the same unique benefits as their original formulas, but now with the deepest, intense jet black effect.

The mascaras include Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara, Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara, Projectionist High Definition Volume Mascara, TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara, MagnaScopic Maximum Volume Mascara and the More Than Mascara Moisture Binding Formula.

Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara in Blacker Black offers dramatic length and sensationally long wear in one effortless stroke and won’t budge, smudge, smear or flake for up to 15 hours; This is my favourite mascara – lasting, clumps & smudge free finishes.

Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara in Bold Black turns even your sparsest lashes into daringly full, lavishly lifted lashes without the clumping, spiking or weight normally associated with volumizing mascaras; My curling mascara although I don’t see much volumization.

Projectionist High Definition Volume Mascara in Jet Black envelops each individual lash with high volume and exceptionally sharp definition for a sleek, striking look; I don’t like this as it tends to clump.

TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara in Turbo Black combines an innovative formula and brush design with a unique, power-performing, micro-pulsing effect that enables the brush to penetrate deep into the lash bed and comb through lashes more quickly and effectively, delivering all effects – volume, length, definition, separation and curl – in one tube. I don’t like battery operated devise to be used close to my eyes, so I haven’t try this out.

MagnaScopic Maximum Volume Mascara in Black transforms lashes with dramatic volume, making them appear extravagantly full for a powerfully eye-opening effect; I like the volumizing effect but again this tends to clump & flake.

More Than Mascara Moisture Binding Formula in More Black features a moisture-binding formula that conditions lashes as it defines and separates them for a look that’s smoother, fuller and longer; This gives a glossy, natural finish and my lashes would become brittle despite continual use.

Black Smoke Signature Eyeshadow Quad

As for the Signature Eye Shadow Quad, it contains four “sultry, beautifully smoky shades” that appear to be different levels of gray instead of all-out black. The microfine powder is designed no to crease and to glide on smoothly, blending seamlessly for a flawless, long-lasting look.

Onyx Double Wear Eye Pencil

Instantly frame eyes and complete the look of rich, smoky intensity with Estée Lauder’s Double Wear Stay-in-Place Eye Pencil in Onyx. This pencil’s unique lightweight, creamy formula glides on effortlessly for rich, stay-true color that sets in seconds and wears for 12 hours; I find this really long lasting & smudge-proof.
