After a biking trip to Morocco a few years ago Bobbi Brown was inspired to create the new Fall 2011 Marrakesh Chic Collection, based on the vibrant colors, textures and smells that overwhelmed her senses on the trip.

This collection features intensely pigmented colors designed to be smudged, swiped or blotted to create a stained look that’s fresh and wearable.

In this collection:

New Rich Color Eye Shadow ($24)
Highly pigmented creamy powder shadow

• Sand Dune
• Pink Silk
• Rich Kashmir
• Desert Lily
• Rich Slate
• Wine
• Coffee Bean
• Royale

New Lip Color ($23)

• Desert Plum

Limited Edition Metallic Lip Color ($23)

• Violet Glaze

Rich Lip Color SPF 12 ($23)

• Desert Rose

Creamy Lip Color ($23)

• Pale Plum
• Pink Blossom

Bobbi Brown Fall 2011 Marrakesh Chic Collection is currently available at Bobbi Brown counters nationwide and online at BobbiBrownCosmetics.com.

It’s time for the once-yearly Friends & Family Event over at BobbiBrown.com.

For two days, starting this Monday, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics is offering 20% off all online purchases plus FREE shipping on orders over $65.oo!

Here’s a few things I’ll be stocking up on:

Limited Edition Smoldering Eye Palette ($45):  This palette is just what I need to create a sexy, night-time eye with a bit of shimmer.

Shimmer Brick For Body Set ($115):  This is a re-purchase (I’m pretty sure one of my teenage daughters has the original in her possession) but it’s totally worth every cent. This online exclusive offers a full-size Shimmer Brick for Body plus the All Over Body Brush ($160 value) for shimmering shoulders and gleaming legs any time of year.

Creamy Concealer Kit ($32):  I’m so excited that I no longer have to deal with a messy loose powder in my favorite Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit. This contact-lens-case sized kit seems like such a better design and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Bobbi Brown Friends and Family Event runs from April 11th-April 13th online at BobbiBrown.com.

While I truly love Bobbi Brown’s new customizable palette system, I was starting to feel oddly empty when a brilliantly complementary compact didn’t accompany her new seasonal releases.

I guess she got the memo, because I couldn’t be more excited about this Bobbi Brown Denim Rose palette! The shadows and lip colors are perfect for creating a starry night inspired smoky eye and pale lip or a more subdued, Twilight-esque look. The palette includes four shadows, four lip colors and a blush.

Bobbi Brown Denim Rose Face Palette is available from Nordstrom for $60.

It’s a rare day when I can resist a Shimmer Brick, but my willpower for this NEW Beach Shimmer from Bobbi Brown seems to be waning at an alarming rate, even for me!

While other varieties lend looks from candlelit sheen to a soft rose radiance, the mixture of colors and soft shimmer in this one appear to really lend that enviable “day-at-the-beach-glow.” I can’t possibly think of a better illuminator for summer!

Bobbi Brown Beach Shimmer Brick Compact is available from BobbiBrown.com for $38.
