Bobbi's Holiday Gift-Giving Guide

What?  Holiday Gift-Giving?  Isn't the Holidays over?
Well, not for me!  I am still wrapping gifts and sending it out to people who matters to me!  Well, for me, technically, if Chinese New Year isn't over, then the "Happy New Year" greeting won't be over for me!  That's how much I love the New Years I tend to extend it in my own little world!  

But honestly speaking, excuse na din yon!  Kasi I was too busy to post about Bobbi Brown's Holiday Gift-Giving Guide year 2014!  These products are drool-worthy and Blog-worthy so I really had to post this!  Saves you from going to counters to ask about the price of each item because I took the liberty to type it down for you!  Now, don't I deserve a huge HUG?  :D

 “There’s no better way to give the gift of glam this holiday season than with Bobbi’s personally curated Holiday Gift Giving Collection. With a selection of sets and palettes offered in a variety of flattering and festive shades, there’s something for every person and every occasion.”- Bobbi Brown

Bobbi Brown's Sea Pearls, Navy & Nude Collection

I first learned about Bobbi Brown's Sea Pearls Collection late last month and guess what?  Just when I thought my lemmings where turned on, they have another collection coming up!  I'll be telling you more about it later.

Sea Pearls Collection

This collection is inspired by the ocean.  According to Bobbi Brown, this collection is a "Delicate washes of color highlight and illuminate the skin."

Paired with an aqua colored eyeshadow, I can imagine this look worn on a date!

I'm Excited for Bobbi Brown's Here Comes The Bride

As you all know, I am a professional makeup artist and I love saying that over and over again! (Pagbigyan niyo na ako!)  One of my pride as a makeup artist is the way I do makeup for brides (in fairness, that rhymes!) 

I believe all soon-to-be-brides have a certain glow no makeup can create!  But of course, after years of doing bridal makeup, I've come to realize that the right makeup and tools can aid in enhancing the natural beauty plus the natural "glow". 

Pinks and Reds in a Collection

Happy Saturday!  Look what I got...something PINK and you guys know I love pink just by looking at my product shots background!

The newest collection from Bobbi Brown came out last April and of course, it is only this month I can talk about it because I'm busy surviving life without bath and shower!  Yuck but at least you guys didn't get to sniff me!  (poor husband!)
