Bobbi Brown Tortoiseshell Collection - Fall 2011


spoiler alert!


Ok - at first I resisted, I swear! 
I was in John Lewis to check out the new Bobbi Brown collection and, although I loved the tortoise case straight away, I didn't buy it. 
The eye palette, I'm talking about... because the lipstick came home with me!
I don't have any brownish neutral lipstick in my possession so I decided I needed to get one for my collection and this is just 'the perfect' version: the pink undertone is very prominent, which is what I like.

Rich Lip Colour SPF12 - Soft Nude #18




The lipstick is creamy and smooth to apply plus very moisturising and light to wear - I'm completely sold on the formula; this is how I like to wear it: with a clear gloss on top, which brings out the pink in it.

Now, as you may have guessed from the spoiler alert above - I had to get second helpings!
Honestly, I couldn't stop thinking about the palette and definitely couldn't wait another week to get it, so I order it on the Debenhams' website.

Sand Tortoiseshell Eye Palette




it's sooo gorgeous, isn't it? I'm loving the tortoiseshell a lot and also the hinges which let you slide out the bottom drawer. I'm nearly scared to use it in case I drop it... hehe :)
I chose the sand version, because it has got more interesting colours, in my opinion; a bronze version is also available.



Top drawer l-r: Ivory, Hot Stone, Terracotta, Desert Sand


Bottom drawer l-r: Antique Rose, Black Chocolate, Sandy Rose, Gold Bar
My favourite are Terracotta & Antique Rose - which I have used in the look below.
In my defence I got to say that I NEEDED this!!! ;P
I don't have any neutral, nude eye palette; for a while, I wanted to buy the Urban Decay Naked but then went sold out and then I lost interest in it... and comparing the two, I think the BB is far superior.



Subtle but flattering! What do you reckon?

Biba Fever

I just bought this bracelet in House of Fraser last week.
It was on sale for £36, down from £120. I tried it on in the store but the sale assistant informed me that the piece was damaged and couldn't sell it (why was it still on display then??!); anyway, I check the website and they had one left so I ordered it with 'Buy & Collect' option. I think it's a great service, considering the delivery is free and the item will be available the next day.

Biba Black and Gold Logo Chain Bracelet



 I got the matching stud earrings too; I bought these last year with a gift voucher for my birthday.














I appreciate the attention put into the brand, from the bag to the wrapping to the velvet pouch.

More exciting news from Biba!!!
House of Fraser is releasing a make up range on the 1st of October.
The inspiration behind it is 1930' Hollywood Glam with rich colours and metallic shades, perfect for winter.
The capsule collection will include: eye palette, lip palette, face palette, nail varnishes, lashes and lipgloss ring.


Prices are affordable, starting with the ring at £15 - I have already eyed it!!! :)
For the rest of the products, I want to first try them in store to see if I like them.

Are you planning on picking up something too?
