Bobbi Brights: Just add color and have a fabulous new year!

By Beauty Snob Tina on December 29, 2008 2:04 PM | Leave Comment

"The idea behind Bobbi Brights is simple. It's a library of beautiful bolts of color that a woman can pick up anytime she wants to add a little fun to her look." Bobbi Brown

If you read my earlier entry on Couture Snob, you'll know I'm going through a crayola phase of my life. Color is the fastest and least expensive way to update your look; pop a bit of fuchsia blush on and you'll look instantly refreshed. I was afraid of bright colors for my face until reading Bobbi's new book, Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual: For Everyone from Beginner to Pro-- she offers many tips on making color work for you-- no matter your complexion or ethnicity. In addition to testing out all the different looks on myself and my willing friends, I am diligently studying the book in case I get a chance to attend classes at the Bobbi Brown University (yup, it's in the works, more on that later).

The new Bobbi Brights collection has every shade under the sun; it is a range of 35 matte shadows in pinks and greens to blues and purples, and includes four new shades of Creamy Lip Color. Also new to Bobbi's line- six Lip Glosses in Bobbi's signature compact that can be popped into her customizable palettes!

Kanebo Creates Treatment Makeup as seen in "The Spirit"

By Beauty Snob Sharon on December 19, 2008 6:00 AM | 2 Comments

I was so excited to read in WWD that Kanebo is gearing-up to launch Sensai Colours, a new treatment makeup line consisting of 22 eye, lip and cheek items with formulas that draw on water and silk to address moisturization and impart a silk-like glow! Sensai Colours lip items consist of two ranges: Lasting Treatment Rouge and Deep Moist Shine Rouge. Lasting Treatment is offered in 18 shades and is formulated to provide long-staying, vivid color with pigments coated with kanten, a jellylike substance obtained from red seaweed and often used as a thickener in Japanese food. The Deep Moist Shine items aim to moisturize lips with a translucent film of color with Phyto Volumising Oil. It is available in 12 shades. There will also be a silky lip gloss in two shades, a lip base with SPF 15, three eye shadow palettes each with four shadow choices, five cheek blush, two eyebrow pencils, two liquid eyeliners, two eyeliner pencils, six lip liner pencils, and a fragrance-free gentle makeup remover. After the jump see photos of Scarlett Johansson in the upcoming film, The Spirit, where she's decked-out in Kanebo!

30 Seconds to Flawless Face- Jane Iredale at Cooper Spa

By Beauty Snob Tina on November 13, 2008 10:00 AM | 13 Comments

It's ridiculous how much make up I have but you know, there is always room for fabulous new products! I discovered Jane Iredale mineral make up at Cooper Spa yesterday and returned twice to pick up more things from the line. I had just finished Kinesis with my trainer Lara and had to meet a friend downtown at the BIG sale so I ran into the spa, grabbed a brush, put some Amazing Base on, applied Cotton Candy blush (with 24k gold!), and ran out the door. When I looked in the rearview mirror of my car, I couldn't believe how great my skin looked! It was like I just woke up from a nice long nap! (Yes, if I do say so myself! But all of my friends throughout the day kept complimenting on my flawless skin. My friend Dana went over right after work to buy hers after seeing me!). (Jump for more and instructions to use!)

Call Cooper Spa to order for free shipping (US residents only- international shipping charges will apply when ordering outside the US). when you mention Beauty Snob!!! 214-383-1010

Holiday gift ideas: Givenchy Very Couture Palette

By Beauty Snob Tina on November 10, 2008 9:04 AM | 1 Comment

Update: The price of the palette has been dropped to $45!

This is the best palette for both bag and beauty snobs alike. You get the super stylish Givenchy grommet clutch plus the palette of gorgeous shadows, blushes and lip color! I've always loved the Givenchy prism shadows and powders, they're easy to blend to create the depth of colors you desire.

The prisms also last forever, my last Givenchy bronzing prism lasted me two years. I know, I know, you're supposed to toss them after a year but I was told toss it if it smells and since mine didn't, I kept it.

The Very Couture Palette is $65 and it's one of my favorite Holiday gift sets this year! Someone call Santa! Givenchy at Sephora.com

UPDATE: Congratulations to winner Nicole Carneal of Baltimore, MD.!

Win this fabulous Glamour Envelope from Senna Cosmetics. It will transform your morning routine as it did mine! These gorgeous and vibrant shadows are all you need, plus it has 6 blushes, a bronzing duo and shimmering powder. It is so fun to play with all the colors of this palette and now you have a chance to win one for yourself.

To win, name this actress on Heroes, a show that uses Senna Cosmetics for their long grueling shoots, yet everyone always look fabulous even after a long day of battling evil. I love that she wears too much makeup on the show because she is a teenager (hello, lighten up on the mascara, please!) - well, we've all made that mistake at that age! But in this season, they show her in the future when she is older and her makeup is noticeably more "grown up". Please put your answer in comments by this Sunday Oct. 26th at 11:59pm EST. One entry per person please and make sure to include your email address in the email box in the form. This prize is worth $99. A big huge Thanks to Senna Cosmetics for sponsoring this Pop Quiz!

Senna Cosmetics "The Glamour Envelope"

By Beauty Snob Kelly on October 15, 2008 6:00 AM | 25 Comments

I just got this all inclusive palette and can now retire my entire drawer full of make up. Ok, maybe not the entire drawer but at least my life has been simplified quite a bit. My normal routine is to search for all the little compacts and round Mac shadows that I want to use, spread it all over my counter which make a giant mess. The convenience of a huge palette is obvious but that is not the best part of this. It is the quality of the shadows! Senna is the Hollywood insiders secret to saturated pigment and long wear. The colors go on true because there is such a high concentration of the actual pigment, not fluff or plain talc here. See that teal? That is exactly what it looks like on, you can make it totally solid and dramatic. At the end of the day, you look as fresh as when you first applied. That is why Hollywood make up artists use this line. Ugly Betty and Heroes use them exclusively. I love to play with all the different looks that can be achieved, it actually comes with a guide for 6 looks including "Nude" a natural look great for daytime; "Innocence," a fresh and vibrant look; and "Night Queen," sultry and dramatic - perfect for a night out. It also comes with their totally amazing Sun & Sand Bronzing Duo, it not only is the most natural bronzer I've used, the darker shade is perfect for contouring with completely seamless and natural results. The Shimmering Face Powder is the greatest secret tool as a highlighter. I use it right under my eyes to create depth and brightness as well as contrast against my cheekbones. It makes the biggest difference with such a subtle look. This magnetic closure envelope is $99 at Senna Cosmetics.
