Summer 2012: Bobbi Brown Miami…

Oooh I love this time of year! Makeup is lighter….skin is glowier and hair is wavy and light. Bobbi Brown has taken her beach formula to a new level with her latest collection Miami. I routinely wear long wearing creamy, and shimmery formulas when it gets warmer. These are all beautiful and a great accent to your current routine. Creamy shadows look great in the summer, plus they don’t budge so you can put it on in the morning and not think about it all day. In addition…I adore her beach fragrance which got a new look this season. Ooooh la la!

Imagine the glow you get after a day at the beach— that’s the inspiration behind the Miami Collection. It’s about sun-kissed skin and beautiful coral and nectar colors infused with gold. And to really get you into a summer state of mind, there’s nothing like a spritz of Beach Fragrance (now in a modern, new bottle) and Shimmering Fragrance Oil.

“This collection recreates the fresh, glowing look you get at the beach.” – Bobbi Brown

The Rundown:

Bobbi’s new Shimmer Cheek Glow is a sheer powder formula that glides on smoothly and blends easily for a weightless feel and imparts a natural glow with soft shimmer. If you can’t make it to Miami, you can still look like you did.

Bobbi’s innovative cream shadows deliver saturated color with a soft, velvety finish. This blendable and buildable formula applies easily with fingers or a brush and maintains its true color without creasing for up to 12 hours. Just when you thought your makeup couldn’t stand up to the summer heat, now it can.

Treatment Lip Shine is a lightweight, soft shine lipstick that doubles as a rejuve- nating treatment. It instantly comforts dry, chapped lips and provides long-term moisturization with natural Cocoa and Shea Butters, Jojoba, Apricot Kernel and Avocado oils. Peptides, along with Vitamin C and Paracress, help stimulate natural collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Just in time for summer.

Bobbi’s Limited Edition Shimmering Fragrance Oil is a unique, moisturizing body oil that gives skin a sultry shimmering glow scented with Beach Fragrance. It also contains four essential oils (Olive, Sesame, Avocado and Jojoba) and Vitamins E and C to soften and nourish summer skin. For a longer-lasting scent, layer Beach Body Oil with a spritz of Beach Fragrance.

Same beautiful scent, with a fresh new look. Inspired by the sun, sand and surf, Bobbi’s Beach Fragrance and Limited Edition Beach Shimmering Fragrance Oil are perfect compliments to your summer beauty routine.

Designed with a light, intoxicating blend of Sand Jasmine, Sea Spray, and Mandarin, Bobbi Brown Beach captures the essence of summer in a bottle.
