makeupper: Blogger Event: Bobbi Brown Seasonal Launch

Last Friday Camille and I were invited to attend a Bobbi Brown Seasonal Launch with Kai Vinson - Bobbi Brown Director of Artistry and Education for Asia Pacific.

Yummy!

On arrival we were all treated to drinks, which were so delicious and refreshing! Once inside, I was slighly overwhelmed by how beautiful the store is and very excited to see all the new up and coming collections spread out for us to see - and play with!

Palette from the Amnesia Rose Collection

After mingling with my fellow beauty bloggers and having some quick snacks, Kai started the presentation by taking us over each of the new collections coming out in the next few months.

One of the first to launch is the Nude Glow Collection (available 3 February 2014) which features four easy to use products that will instantly brighten your look.
There are three different eyeshadow palettes: Nude Eye, Crystal Eye and Bronze Eye. Each palette features both matte and soft shimmer eyeshadows that are perfect to wear from day to night. RRP $110

Such gorgeous packaging!

The Sheer Lip Colours in this collection are just gorgeous, again there are three different ones to choose from: Pink Rose, Pink Flush and Pink Gold. These leave a beautiful hint of colour on lips and are formulated with Shea Butter, Murumuru Butter and Apricot Kernel Oils which help to rejuvenate and nourish lips, improving the overall condition of lips both instantly and over time. RRP $54

Of course with the popularity of nail polishes these days, Bobbi had to throw some in and they compliment the collection perfectly. Available in shades: Pale Nail, Ballet Pink Glitter and Bronze Shimmer Nail Polish. RRP $26

Explaining how to use the Brightening Finishing Powders

To complete the collection, Bobbi has released the Brightening Finishing Powder. The beautifully sleek compact features six luminous shades that blend together to illuminate the skin. These are to be swept over the face as the last step in your makeup routine to instantly brighten the complexion, and are available in three shades: Brightening Nudes, Porcelain Pearl and Bronze Glow. RRP $125

Close ups of the lipsticks and palette, with Kai talking about the lipsticks in the collection

One of the most beautiful collections to be released this year is the Amnesia Rose Collection which is a collaboration with L'Wren Scott, a visionary fashion designer and partner of Mick Jagger.
The collection includes a beautiful palette which features 6 eyeshadows - one of which is a gorgeous bright purple, a pot rouge which you can use on both cheeks and lips and a powder blush.
It is just so pretty! And the packaging for this collection... oh my goodness, I'm obsessed.

To showcase some of the gorgeous products, Kai did a quick makeover on one of the Bobbi Brown girls, Rachel. She looked stunning!

Pressing in the eyeshadow for better results

Quick tip we learnt from Kai: Bobbi Brown eyeshadows are professional pigments, which means it's much better to press the colour onto the lids, rather than swipe it on. It will help reduce fallout and give much better colour payoff.

Overall, it was a fantastic night and I can't thank the wonderful people at Bobbi Brown enough for hosting such a fabulous event!

And just because, here's a few more photos:
