If there’s a season to go crazy for shimmery glitter-full makeup, then this has got to be it. even reserved, conservative lines like Bobbi brown get in on the action. This month Bobbi debuts two glitzy new collections — Copper diamond and Party, and both are high on shimmer, shine and metallic finishes.
I used shine to the grocery store yesterday thanks to some shtuff from Bobbi’s two new collections. Hey, life is short, and I really desired spaghetti and salad for dinner!

But my look wasn’t as crazy as it sounds… Although the four products I used do include shimmer and glitter, they’re still pretty tame, so I didn’t look out of place as I manhandled butter lettuce heads in the produce section, LOL!
Shimmer brick Compact in Copper Diamond, ($40, limited edition)
I was stoked to try this all-over highlighter. The pan contains five shimmery shades (candlelight, gold, copper, beige and sand) that literally glow on my skin. Bobbi declares that the combination of colors delivers a warm, golden, coppery glow, but on my cheeks I’d phone call it a transparent golden shimmer. If you’re lighter than I am, you might see much more of the actual color than I do, but what I really get is shimmer — and lots of it.
Because the Copper diamond Shimmer brick packs so much shimmer, I use it with a light touch… too much shimmer makes my skin look oily, so that’s my one big concern. For the picture above I cleaned a MAC 187 duo fiber clean across the entire pan, choosing up the integrated color, and used the mixed shade onto my cheeks. another option would be to use a smaller eyeshadow clean to grab the shades individually and to maybe use them on the eyes as well. makeup and charm blog Rating: B

Bobbi brown versus Bobby brown — battle of the Bobbies
The Bobbi brown Copper diamond Shimmer brick Compact looks a bit like gold fashion jewelry to me, and back in the ’90s, singer Bobby brown had a penchant for using gold fashion jewelry on stage. Coincidence? Jeg tror ikke.
Glitter Lip Balm in Crystal diamond ($19, limited edition)
A clear, non-sticky lip balm with shine and pearl pigments, shine Lip Balm in Crystal diamond moisturizes my lips and provides them a bit o’ bling at the same time. I used it by itself yesterday, and while I liked pop of silver glitter, I kept wanting that I used a lip liner or a lipstick below it. I think the silver’s practically too frosty for me, but if you have lighter skin or like cool lip colors, I think this would look fabulous on you.
One layer feels good; two layers feel goopy. I used a MAC 316 covered lip clean to apply it, but you could also go low-tech and apply it with a finger. another low tech — albeit kinda gross — method to apply it would be to take the pan, bring it as much as your lips and kiss.
Years ago I actually saw a dude riding on the bus do it with a jar of Carmex, LOL. I have to admit I’ve resorted to this trick once or twice myself. makeup and charm blog Rating: B-
Bobby brown versus Bobbi brown — Still Bitter about Whitney
Like the name implies, shine Lip Balm contains lots of glitter. When Bobby Brown’s ex-wife, Whitney Houston, was in her singing prime, her song I Wanna dance with somebody featured an incredible scene with shine and confetti pouring down on her from the heavens.
Sadly, those glitter-filled days didn’t last forever. After meeting Bobby, Whitney’s profession spiraled out of control… I still hope to see the day you make your big comeback, Whit!
Metallic Eye Shadows, in Bonfire and Indigo night ($20, limited edition)
Two of the six metallic Eyeshadows in the party collection, Bonfire (a warm copper) and Indigo night (a dark gray) look frosty and shimmery on my eyes.
At first touch, both of them felt coarse, with the structure like a grittier version of MAC’s Mineralize eyeshadow trios, but they don’t apply that way. Both colors used and mixed smoothly, with extremely bit of the shine falling onto my cheeks and the eye area. The overall look is shimmery but still wearable for day.
The shades have outstanding color payoff, and it was easy to layer them for much more intense shading. I used both colors in a easy day eye by applying Bonfire over the entire lid and Indigo night onto the crease and along the lash line.
I like both of these, but I think I’ll get much more use out of Indigo Night. It develops amazingly well, and I can wear it in my crease without my eyes looking dirty. It’s everything I desired Prescriptive’s Twinkle eyeshadow to be. makeup and Beuauty blog Rating: A+
Bobby brown versus Bobbi brown — What’s the better Deal?
At $20 each, Bobbi Brown’s metallic shadows work all year ’round and never go out of style.
Bobby Brown’s metallics, on the other hand — aka his gold records and music awards (including gold records for his hit, Humpin’ Around, LOL!) — were sold at auction i fjor for $ 25 hver.
Jeg kunne ikke tåle å se på Bobbys gullplater på veggene mine. De samsvarer ikke med stuedekorasjonen min, ha! Hvem ønsker dessuten å se ordene “humpin” rundt “før du reiser på jobb hver morgen? Det er bare dårlig juju.

Noen få tilfeldige ting
Etter å ha gått på hip-hop-klasse i går kveld, holdt jeg meg opp for sent på nettet …
Her er Aretha Franklin som synger Mariah Carey’s Touch My Body. Det er praktisk talt for bra for ord.
For dere Twilight -fans, inspiser musikkvideoen fra filmens lydspor. Bandet her heter Paramore, og sangen heter Decode. Vid har noen få mye flere scener fra filmen, som har premiere 21. november, ja!
Agh! Min fineste venns bryllupsarrangement er dagen etter filmen premiere. Jeg håpet å komme meg til en midnattsvisning, men jeg tror ikke Jen ville tilgi meg hvis jeg sovnet under bryllupsbegivenhetsseremonien. Jeg kan imidlertid ikke lyve – jeg er fortsatt fristet.
I klassen i går danset vi til denne sangen av Notorious B.I.G.:
Danselæreren min koreograferte trinnene til tekstene fra sangen og fikk oss til å rappe sammen til det et par ganger. Jeg har forstått ordene til denne sangen i gode 14 år, men jeg rap ikke offentlig (akkurat som en generell regel), så jeg endte opp med å mynde ordene stille som en mime. Ja, rart.

Anyhoo, håper du hadde en fin tirsdag. Jeg sitter bare her foran røret og venter på valgresultatene for å finne i. Tabs sier at han er en libertarianer (bare tuller).
