I have been waiting for months to talk about this exciting new collection from Bobbi Brown. I first spotted the Bobbi Brights Palette last September while backstage at the Tory Burch runway show.

Inspired by the “fun kit” that Bobbi Brown uses at Fashion Week, this palette is designed for the woman who wants to play and experiment with bright color. Designed to be worn one at a time (girls, please resist the urge to paint on a rainbow!) these 35 soft matte shadows are all new shades and exclusive to this palette.

Says Bobbi Brown, “The idea behind Bobbi Brights is simple. It’s a library of beautiful bolts of color that a woman can pick up any time she wants to add a little fun to her look.”

Don’t be surprised by the mini shadow pans—I personally think this is genius. Bright colors are meant to be used as accents and there’s no need for a full-sized pan. Especially when you have 35 shades to choose from.

Also in this collection:

New Creamy Lip Color
Just in time for spring, Bobbi is adding four new shades to her popular Creamy Lip Color collection. Each of the shades is designed to complement the Bobbi Brights Eye Palette.

• Retro Pink
• Rose Brown
• Coral Pink
• Pale Mauve

Lip Gloss
Bobbi has created six nude to bright gloss shades and packaged them in her signature compacts (I love these so much more than the tubes!). The gloss pans, which feature clear protective covers, can be popped out of the compacts and inserted into the customizable palettes. LOVE.

• Guava
• Coral Pink
• Pink Cloud
• Cherry Pink
• True Beige
• Pink Beige

I need another makeup bag like I need another six-year-old named Janey, but I can’t resist the charm of this Kate Spade ‘Manuela Large’ Cosmetic Case.

There are five interior pockets and one exterior zip pocket for easy organizing—and it’s large enough to hold all my essentials. The two-way zip-around closure gives quick access to this makeup bag with a fun, geometric design.

The Kate Spade ‘Manuela Large’ Cosmetic Case is available online at nordstrom.com.

I love this bronze arrowhead pendant by Marie Chavez. The arrowhead has unique detailing and hangs on a dainty chain.

Even better? It’s on sale!
