So, last night El Hub and I were having dinner at this Puerto Rican place we like called Sol Food in San Rafael (YUM! Any Bay Area girls been there?) when he asked what I wanted to do for New Year’s.
“Hmm…” I said. To be honest, I hadn’t given it any thought. I forgot that we’re barely two weeks from the end of the year.
Can you believe it? 2014 already?
So, I have no clue what to do for NYE, but even if we end up staying home and just watching the ball drop on TV, there will be sparkly makeup up in the mix. Of that, you can be sure. 🙂
Bobbi Brown may be able to help, too. She says that her new Nude Glow makeup collection is like sparkly jewelry for your everyday wardrobe.
Yeah…I can get behind that.
The release hits counters in January with 10 pieces, including eyeshadow quads, sheer lipsticks, nail polishes and new shimmer bricks (aka, Brightening Finishing Powders) — all limited edition.
The theme, like we’ve been seeing a lot lately, is look brightening. The pieces are designed to instantly, easily enhance your skin tone and brighten your look, and get you gorgeously glowing for early 2014.
The Bobbi Brown Nude Glow collection includes…
- Limited Edition Eye Palette in Nude (Shades: Dove Grey Eye Shadow, Ballet Pink Sparkle Eye Shadow, Nude Eye Shadow and Cement Sparkle Eye Shadow), $44
- Limited Edition Eye Palette in Crystal (Shades: Porcelain Eye Shadow, Opal Sparkle Eye Shadow, Mica Sparkle Eye Shadow and Angel Pink Eye Shadow), $44
- Limited Edition Eye Palette in Bronze (Shades: Gold Bar Sparkle Eye Shadow, Amber Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow, Toast Eye Shadow and Rich Bronze Eye Shadow), $44
- Limited Edition Sheer Lip Colors in Pink Rose, Pink Flush and Pink Gold, $28 each
- Limited Edition Nail Polishes in Pale, Ballet Pink Glitter and Bronze Shimmer, $15 each
- Limited Edition Brightening Finishing Powder (Shades: Brightening Nudes, Porcelain Pearl and Bronze Glow), $50
Let’s see… “Luminous” is the best word I can think of to describe these pieces. The eyeshadow quads and sheer lipsticks all have that radiant, glowing quality that Bobbi does so well. Sparkle features prominently, but it’s not, like, club glitter, if ya know what I mean. Everything here, even the silver packaging (LOVE IT, but it’s a paint to keep clean), looks luxe and expensive to me.
Here’s a quick peek at six of the 10 pieces. Let me know if something here catches your eye…

The pink rose doesn’t look as pigmented in the swatch as it appears in the tube right? Is it build able to that color Karen?
The shimmer brick, or brightening finishing powder, in this collection looks really pretty!
The bronze palette is really pretty! Don’t know how I feel about the packaging though
Sol Food is AMAZEBALLS!!! I miss it, we don’t live out in the bay any more 🙁
The bronze eye palette is absolutely gorgeous!
I NEED this. All of this! I’m super excited. I was a little disappointed in the Christmas offerings, so I’m very happy that I like the New Years selections. My wallet may not be so happy.
Quite pretty! I’d want to stop by the counter and swatch before purchase though .. to make sure it’s not too over the top shiny, glittery.
Monica.
All look so pretty! I especially like the nude shadow quad and the pink rose lip stick.
Bobbi Brown has such pretty makeup.
Sooooo gorgeous. Oh Bobbi… all your amazing creations…
Love BB! The Bronze won’t work for me, but Nude & Crystal? Ah, I’m in lurve!!
I love Bobbi Brown!! It’s one of my fav makeup brands!! I have used that gold nail polish color in one of my Polyvore mood boards <3
The pink flush lipstick look so pretty! I try to keep telling myself that I don’t need *another* rose pink/sheer lipstick, but somehow I never listen to myself…
Ohhhh my Godddd!!! I’m literally panting over that bronze eye palette. I LOVE bronze shades.
Beautiful palettes, but I’m still avoiding sparkles no matter how gorgeous. But I love the pink rose lippie!
I like dteh bronze eye palette and the pink lipsticks from the collection.. 🙂
I love the idea of glowing. 🙂 This seems like a holiday collection to me but I can see the appeal of adding a little shimmer to every day (unless you’re starting to look like a 100 year old Shar-pei, like me). HAHA!
