Bobbi Brown: The "mini"collection cont... mini review

Nectar:

Plum:

Sandstone:

So these are the pricy litttle gems that Bobbi Brown have come up with as the new mini shimmerbricks that I talked about previously. These are so beautiful but tiny. 3g to be precise compared to 10.3g of the original shimmerbricks. They are also very heavy. Like, twice the weight of the original, if not more... The packaging is very beautiful and "luxe" if you will, in a shiny, darker platinum shade. I honestly don't think these will be purse/ bag friendly due to the weight even though they are fun "purse" sized. They are very rich in pigmentation though which makes them totally worth the price tag. I swiped the plum on my hand and you wouldn't expect them to be as pigmented as they are. They may be small but believe me, a small amount of product is going to go a looong way!. If you're interested in these and could only pick one, I would say go for the plum. The plum is a unique shade as I don't believe BB has released a plum shade before. Sandstone is actually a repromote, (which I already have hence me saying/ thinking there's no need to get this one...) and Nectar is actually going to be re-released in an upcoming collection, but full sized.

Shades: Sandstone

To launch Style Black, Myer Adelaide did makeovers to help promote this new collection. I decided to get a makeover while I was there to do my shopping.

Both stores in Adelaide and the website were all sold out of Young Punk mineralize eyeshadow so I rung my mum in NZ to see if she could get her hands on one for me. Out of the 3 stores she called only one had it, so I owe her big time for getting it for me... and as far as I can see, it looks like everyones after this shade and is the most popular item from this collection, so THANKYOU so much mum!!! You're the BEST! xx

Lola By Marc Jacobs

I have to admit, I have a bit of a crush on Marc Jacobs... He is one of the *many* men I'd like to go on a date with (promiscuous - no, lusting - yes), so naturally, to get closer to Marc I'll happily try out his perfumes in order to seek one I like in order to say "I smell of Marc Jacobs..." You get my point though, I love the guy. So, I tried this, and was instantly hooked. I like floral scents and yes, I also buy perfumes for the bottle (LOL), and this one is gorgeous! After wearing this for a while to find the bottom note, I notice it is very vanilla-ry. OMG YES! I think I've found the dream perfume! Well, for this summer that is! I love Vanilla and have not found a nice one yet! Well HELLO baby, where have you been all my life. You're mine and I'm taking you home this minute!!

Description: Marc Jacobs Lola is a warm, floral scent with a signature note of fuschia peony. Fruity top notes of pink peppercorn, pear d’anjou and red grapefruit deepen to the fuschia heart, which also contains rose and geranium. Base notes of vanilla, tonka bean and creamy musk finish the scent. The bottle is violet with a curvaceous silhouette and is topped with a unique cap fashioned into a rosette in fuschia, berry and plum.

50ml ~ $120

100ml ~ $160

Body Butter ~ $50

Body Lotion ~ $40

Shower Gel ~ $40

Myer are also doing gift packs for xmas where you get a 50ml bottle, a body lotion and shower gel or a 50ml bottle and a body butter for $160.
