When Bobbi Brown declared, “This holiday is about unexpected glamour,” how could one disagree? People won’t miss out on that well-placed sparkle on the eyes and lips.
Bobbi Brown welcomes the season with luxurious lip and eye palettes, lip glosses and brush sets in silver, bronze and gold. The holiday gift-giving collection is glam, but assorted enough to provide something for every girl and every occasion.
The cosmetic brand’s lip and eye palettes, for instance, are available in (aptly named) Everyday Pretty and Date Night—so you can don sophisticated Mauve lips for the day and switch to a flirty Berry Punch at night. Each portable mini-kit has two eye shadows, two lip colors and a gloss for on-the-go retouches.
A larger palette, Twilight Pink, features 10 eye shadows in metallic, sparkle or shimmer textures, plus four pretty lip shades and two mini brushes.
Girls who love to play with their eye makeup can choose between two Smokey Eye Palettes, available in Cool or Warm tones, or the new Sequin Shimmer Brick Eye Palette, with 10 shimmery eye shadows in silver, rose and golden tones.
If you can’t decide, or just want a unique look, try this: Sweep the eye shadow brush across all the colors in one go, and play around with shading.
The pretty Lip Gloss Trio lets you choose from Pink Sugar Shimmer, Bronzed Heather High Shimmer or Dusty Rose. By popular demand, Bobbi Brown has brought back this set for this collection.
It is also showcasing the new Nude Glow Shimmer Brick, with four gold and bronze shades for a warm glow to the skin.
Bobbi Brown is also introducing classic-looking Old Hollywood sets and cases. The Travel Brush Set includes eight must-have brushes, from the foundation brush to the smokey eye liner
brush, while the smaller Mini Brush Set has four smaller brushes, perfect to pop into your handbag for retouching.
For longer nights-out, try the beautiful vintage Old Hollywood Train Case, or the Old Hollywood Beauty Trunk, complete with interior mirror and organized compartments. It’s now
easier and more stylish to bring along your beauty essentials, whether swinging it around the airport or leaving it in your car for on-the-go fixing up.
Clinique
A Little Happiness, which combines five of Clinique’s favorite fragrances in fun-size bottles, makes a gift set that is both classy and practical. Happy, Happy Heart, Happy In Bloom, Hint of Citrus and Wealth of Flowers each gives a fun, sparkling scent to brighten your day, saved in a miniature bottle for easy use. This thoughtful set lets you give (or get!) the gift of happiness this season.
If you need a cute stocking-stuffer for your best girl friends, you might love Whole Lotta Candy’s mini Chubby Sticks. This colorful gift set automatically includes three moisturizing lip balms in Pudgy Peony, Two Ton Tomato and Voluptuous Violet. Packaged in adorable candy-cane stripes, and just small enough to fit a purse or pocket, Clinique’s Mini Chubby Sticks make for sweeter gifts than candy, and way better for your lips, too.
For nail color lovers, Clinique offers special Party Tips, featuring three fun shades of A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skin. You can confidently finish off your holiday looks with Black Honey, Strappy Sandals, or the limited-edition Polished Amethyst, which is exclusively available for this set. The set is housed in a festive purple zipper bag for handy storage.
