Pink Raspberry, Part II

Earlier this month we gave you a sneak peek at Bobbi Brown’s Pink Raspberry spring color collection.

Bobbi Brown Pink Raspberry Collection

Now that we’ve had an opportunity to sample the collection, we’re not sure we’ll need anything else for the entire season.

The neutral Pink Raspberry Face Palette centers around the Pink Raspberry Blush—clearly the star of the collection—and offers just enough “pop” to wake up our simple-but-boring everyday look. (Palette also includes Eye Shadows in Navajo and Fog and Lip Sheers in Raspberry and Blue Raspberry.)Erika wearing Bobbi Brown Pink Raspberry color collection

The new Bobbi Brown Lip Crayon is smooth and easy to apply and is longer lasting than we expected—both Pink Raspberry and Wild Raspberry are ultra-flattering on our complexion—but the sleeper hit here at Makeup Bag is the Pink Raspberry Glitter Lip Gloss.

We have never been a fan of the applicator brush on Bobbi Brown’s lip gloss but the brush on this new Pink Raspberry Glitter Lip Gloss seems shorter and less rigid than we remember. The gloss itself is the glossiest, palest pink with flecks of iridescence to make our heart go wild. Paired with a newly tolerable applicator, this will surely be our favorite lipstick-topping gloss of the season.

Turn to page 115 and see Makeup Bag reader Megan’s inspiring transformation as part of the Elle Beauty Makeover section!

Megan is a long-time reader of Makeup Bag (she calls us her “absolute favorite!”) and we’re super excited to share her Elle makeover story here.  Megan says, “I’m the youngest of three children, and we all look very similar. By changing my dark brown hair to sun-streaked blond, I feel as though I set myself apart from my siblings in a positive way.”

In our opinion, Megan looks gorgeous both blond and brunette. Congrats, Megan!
