Posh Shasta's Beauty Product Of The Week!

By Shasta Moczulski, Fashion/Beauty Director

Traveling and the change in the weather has dried my skin out! Whenever I fly, especially when I fly across the country, my skin dries up like a raisin from the airplane air (or lack there of,) and I don't drink as much water as I would when I am at home.

My beloved Editor, Casi, gave me this TDF moisturizer, "Bobbi Brown, Hydrating Gel Cream", when I landed on the east coast and I am in love with it! I break out easily and can rarely use really hydrating moisturizers. Well kids, this is when the fabulous news is revealed! The "Hydrating Gel Cream" has nothing in it to break my skin out, nope... nada... nothing. After using it for a week, my skin has not broken out, in fact, it is hydrated (go figure, right?) and so smooth!

Here are the details from Bobbi Brown:

Bobbi Brown Look for Yigal Azrouel F/W'10

New York Fashion Week has officially kicked off! Here is the behind-the-scenes look at the face chart used to create the look by Wendy Rowe for Bobby Brown Cosmetics at Yigal Azrouel F/W '10 show that took place yesterday.

Yigal Azrouel Fall 2010

"Youthful, fresh but chic makeup with heavy focus on brows..."

-Wendy Rowe for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics

Inspired by a collection rich in texture, the makeup for the Fall 2010 Yigal Azrouel collection is about the texture of the skin. Chic, yet effortless, skin is bronzed with emphasis on cheeks, and eyes are softly defined in beige and brown tones. Nude lips complete a fairly monotone, natural look, with the exception of a strong, linear, defined brow.

Skin: Hydrating Face Cream ($50), Hydrating Eye Cream ($45), Foundation Stick ($40), Creamy Concealer ($22), Corrector ($22)

Eyes: Suede Long-Wear Cream Shadow ($22) all over lid, Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Sepia Ink ($21) applied lightly and smudged on upper and lower lashline

Cheeks: Bronzing Powder ($40)

Lips: Hot Cocoa and Salmon Lip Color ($22 each)

Brows: Clean and brushed up with a touch of Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Sepia Ink ($21)

Please note that the look contains products slated for Fall/Winter ’10, and that shade names and pricing will be confirmed closer to their release dates.

A FEW MUST HAVES FROM BOBBI BROWN

Introducing the new Extreme Party Mascara –

the first ever all-day layer-able mascara!

“For women who want the dramatic look of false lashes without the hassle.” – Bobbi Brown

Yes, we know (if your anything like us) you probably have ten different mascaras sitting in your make-up bag but this is just a must!

Why is it different? Thanks to Bobbi's new “re-activation” formula, each new coat of Extreme Party Mascara remains as clean and buildable as the first- whether you choose to go bolder right away or ten hours later.

- Between fresh coats, lashes stay separated and soft.

- Lashes continue to get thicker and bolder without clumping or flaking every time you want to layer on more volume and length.

- Tapered, two-fiber brush grabs even small, hard-to-reach lashes.

- Dries fast to a smudge-proof, flake-proof finish.

- Enriched with Vitamins A, C and E.

- Ophthalmologist and dermatologist-tested. Safe for contact wearers.

- Removes easily with eye makeup remover or face soap and water.

And let's not forget the new Chrome Palette ($75). According to the genius herself, Bobbi Brown says - "Chrome is cool and icy- it's a very moden, but still pretty way to illuminate the skin.”

Along with the FAB new mascara comes the perfect match; a chrome palette. Bobbi introduces 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-read looks including: 10 eye shadows, 4 lip shades, a Mini Eye Shadow Brush and a Mini Lip Brush.

TREND ALERT: 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. Chrome Lips retails for only $22!

The collection also includes Bobbi's holiday Chrome Mini Brush Set ($55)- 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, our new Mini Angle Eye Shadow Brush and a Mini Eye Liner brush.

Extreme Party Mascara will be available in black from www.bobbibrown.com andBobbi Brown counters beginning November 2009 along with the NEW Lip collection.
