Matte lip colors have been on-trend for some time, but, in fall 2018, many major beauty brands are releasing new lip color ranges that feature either a matte or a semi-matte finish.

There is something quite Japanese about Bobbi Brown’s Surf & Sand Eye Palettes for summer 2014. Japanese beauty lines, such as Lunasol, often release eyeshadow palettes with warm neutrals and those with combinations of neutrals and greens/blues for summer, and the Surf & Sand Eye Palettes remind me of them.

Among the summer 2014 makeup items from Bobbi Brown, the upcoming Surf and Sand Eye Palettes have caught my attention.

My natural makeup recommendations continue with items for cheeks and lips. (See my recommendations on eye makeup here.)
Items for Cheeks
Sometimes, when you don’t have time to deal with eye makeup, using a blusher can really give the face an instant lift. The key is to use a shade that is as close to your natural flush as possible. I personally prefer moderately pigmented blushers without visible shimmer and those that are either matte or luminous matte.
– RMK Ingenious Powder Cheeks in MT-02 Light Pink (top)
It is marginally the lightest and the most cool-toned of the three blushers featured here. The brush included in the compact is very soft and easy to use, making this item very suitable for touch-ups away from home.
– Lavshuca Cheek Color in PK-1 (left)
This is the kind of default PK blusher shade which we expect from most Japanese makeup lines. The sparse pink-toned shimmery particles visible in the pan is not visible when worn.
– Boots No. 7 Cheek Colour in 25 Petal (right)
It is slightly warmer than the other two and has a very soft peach undertone. It is among my favorite blushers from non-Japanese brands. This shade is particularly good for spring and summer when most of us pick up a little bit of warmth on our complexions.
Items for Lips
– SUQQU Blend Lipstick in 16 Mizuka (upper left)
Go for this shade if you like a warm milky nude-pink for the lips. I usually dislike nude shades for the lips (I don’t think they are flattering), but this shade has enough pink in it so that it looks gentle and natural.
– Maquillage Lasting Climax Rouge in RS310 (right)
Go for this shade if you want more color for the lips. It is a warm-toned rose and is more pigmented than the SUQQU lipstick featured here. It can be layered for more vibrancy.
– Makemania Curvy Lip Silicone in 501 (bottom left)
The ultimate clear lip gloss. It has a very good lip-magnifying effect. (It does not achieve the effect with skin-irritating ingredients that dilate the blood vessels.) I also like the spatula applicator.
– Bobbi Brown Brightening Lip Gloss in Popsicle (bottom)
This is one of Bobbi Brown’s new items for spring 2010. It is a gentle warm pink that should be flattering for most people. It is softly pigmented but the color does show up on the lips. It has a long-lasting glossy finish with a touch of shimmer.
The final part features my recommendations on base makeup.

Bobbi Brown recently launched the Makeup Facelift collection, which aims to create a bright and well-rested complexion. The collection includes both existing and new items, and today I am highlighting two Brightening Lip Glosses in this collection (one existing shade and one new shade).
Pink Lilac (existing shade, right in photo) is a soft cool pink with a very subtle hint of lilac, and Popsicle (new shade) is a medium-to-warm pink. Both have a low-to-medium pigmentation level, but the colors are pigmented enough to show up on the lips.
They have very fine shimmering particles which are predominantly silver-toned. The finish is gently pearly without frostiness. The glossy vinyl finish that they have lasts very well.
Color-wise, between the two, I prefer Popsicle. The warm pink looks very natural and brings a touch of liveliness to the face, which is part of the aim of the collection, and I think this shade should suit most complexions. Pink Lilac is relatively paler and should suit slightly lighter complexions.
The Makeup Facelift collection also features Eye Shadow in Navajo. It used to be a limited-edition shade that was only available in the Basics Eye Palette in Bobbi Brown’s holiday 2008 collection, but it is now available as an individual shade. You can see the mention of the shade here.

Beach is one of the fragrance ranges from Bobbi Brown. It includes Shower Gel, Body Oil and Sunscreen Body Spray SPF 15. Today I am reviewing the Body Lotion from the range.
Bobbi Brown Beach Body Lotion is a relatively lightweight body moisturizer. It has a lightly creamy consistency and it is easy to spread. It moisturizes the skin well and doesn’t leave the skin greasy. It keeps the skin soft and the moisture is relatively long-lasting.
Some of its main moisturizing ingredients include aloe leaf juice, jojoba seed oil, sunflower seed oil, olive fruit oil and glycerine. The product also contains green tea leaf extract and vitamin E.
It features the scent from the Beach fragrance, which includes notes of jasmine and mandarin. Even though it is not too heavily scented, for me personally, the scent surprisingly took a bit of getting used to (considering the fact that I do like jasmine and mandarin notes). Perhaps this is because I usually shower in the evening and I find the scent to be slightly too zingy and invigorating for the evening. But it is certainly a fresh and summery scent.
The product is free of alcohol and parabens.
If you like the Beach fragrance, the Beach Body Lotion should be an appealing body moisturizer for spring, summer and fall. It should suit all skin types except very dry skin.

Bobbi Brown‘s Sheer Color Cheek Tint is part of the brand’s summer 2009 Nautical collection. The cream-based stick blusher is available in six shades, and today I am featuring Sheer Coral.
Sheer Coral is a warm pink that is not too peachy or coral, and it has warm-toned shimmering particles. The shade should suit those with a slightly warmer complexion and is definitely more of a summer shade.
It goes on very sheer but it can be layered for slightly more intensity. When layered, the blusher creates a very dewy and shimmery finish, which might not suit those with oily skin.
It has a cream (not cream-to-powder) consistency and is best worn over a liquid foundation and under a powder foundation. If you wear it under a powder foundation, make sure you gently press the foundation onto the area where the blusher is applied. If you sweep the foundation on, the powder is likely to bind with the cream blusher and cake. (A cream-to-powder or a mousse blusher is slightly easier to be used with a powder foundation in this respect, and I also find that I can get away with a very gentle application over a powder foundation.)
If you want a quick healthy glow, this is a good product to go for as it is best suited for a casual no-makeup (particularly no-foundation) look. It is also worth considering if you are looking for a sheer but very shimmery blusher.
