Old School Makeup Bag

I was looking through the Makeup Bag archives this morning and came across some fun beauty blogger interviews that I wanted to re-share. (Also it reminded me that I haven’t done an interview in six months. I need to get on it!)

Julia and Erika in NYC

Check out my interviews of these popular beauty bloggers:

Kristen Kelly from Beauty Addict

Christine from Temptalia

Annie from Blogdorf Goodman

Julia from All About the Pretty

Who is your favorite beauty blogger? I need a new interview subject!

Bobbi Brown Summer 2009: Illuminating Bronze Collection

shimmerbrick-for-body

Yesterday on QVC, I tuned in to see Bobbi Brown (in person!) talk about a new product I’m swooning over: Shimmer Brick for BODY. Genius!

This is such a luxurious indulgence ($160 for both the Shimmer Brick for Body and the All Over Body Brush) but something that every beauty-product-addicted girl should have. With three shimmering bars of color in a deluxe oversized compact you can create head-to-toe glamour with a sweep of a brush.

The new Shimmer Brick for Body and the All Over Body Brush are part of the new Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronze Collection for Summer 2009.

  • Antiqua
  • Maui
  • Aruba
  • Bali Brown
  • Barbados Tan
  • Bahamas

And the new All Over Bronzing Gel SPF 15 in Golden Sun.

Bobbi Brown Summer 2009 Illuminating Bronze Collection is available at Bobbi Brown counters nationwide and online at bobbibrown.com.

Daily Style: Cortes Mother of Pearl Four Row Bracelet

Kate Spade’s unique take on a classic is certainly not going unnoticed by me! This gorgeous Cortes Mother of Pearl Four Row Paillette Bracelet features four whole rows of iridescent mother of pearl and gold disk paillettes strung together on a 12 karat gold plated chain. It’s a unique option for dressing up a variety of outfits, as the iridescent tones will complement cool and warm tones alike.

The bracelet is available from Kate Spade for $225.

Nail Flavor of the Week: OPI A Grape Fit!

opi-a-grape-fit

Lately I’ve been loving the look of creamy, bright nail polish. It’s so fresh and summery!

Today I painted my nails with OPI A Grape Fit!, a creme lilac shade with no shimmer, and I love it.

Last week I wore Zoya Pippa, a creamy bright yellow (if you follow me on Twitter you might have seen me post the picture below on Twitpic):

Don’t you love my new ring?! It was a gift from Julia at All About the Pretty (and no, it’s not my birthday, she’s just awesome like that!)

Some other hot summer colors I’m looking forward to wearing this season are Essie Funny Face, a bright pink, OPI Green-Wich Village and, of course, Chanel Orange Fizz.

What colors are you looking forward to wearing? Any must-have colors that I’m missing? Tell me and I’ll add them to my summer nail polish list and feature them here on Makeup Bag!
