Bobbi Brown Sandy Nudes Collection

3 min read

It’s officially time to think about summer. The sun is (sometimes) shining, and Bobbi Brown have launched a gorgeous summer collection – Sandy Nudes. May signals the unofficial start to summer, and I’ve certainly spent a fair bit of time recently thinking about sandy beaches.

Bobbi Brown’s Sandy Nudes collection is inspired by shades and textures of sand from beaches around the world – deep bronzes, bleached whites and warm browns. In product terms, it has everything needed to create the ultimate warm-weather glow. It’s a very classic Bobbi look – fresh, pretty, relaxed, with a hint of shimmer.

At the heart, as ever, is a great palette. The new,and Limited Edition, Shimmering Sands Eye Palette (£52) features 12 beautiful eyeshadows, representing white to black sand beaches. Shimmering nudes and golden browns pair perfectly with  a nude of pink lip for a subtle summer glow. As ever the names are cute; Sand Castle, Seashell, Suntan, Seashore, etc. This palette really is all the shimmery nude eye makeup you ever need!

Bobbi Brown Face MistAnother new product in this collection I love is the Face Mist (£21.50). Face Mist is a versatile skin-moisturising spray that refreshes your skin instantly with vitamins and botanical extracts.

It’s a finishing spray, but more than that – a few spritzes leaves skin hydrated, as well as glowing and soothes. It also contains Green Tea, Chamomile and Cucumber, and is scented with Lavender and Geranium. It’s lovely.

A bronzer is a summer must, and Bobbi has two new shades of her Face & Body Bronzing Duos (£34) to choose from. Telluride Illuminating Bronzing Powder and Elvis Duran Bronzing Powder make up one compact, and Antigua Illuminating Bronzing Powder and Golden Light Bronzing Powder make up the other.

The bronzer is formulated for all skin types and has just the right mix of red and brown – colours you’d find in a natural tan. The brown based shades of the silky blush are universally flattering, and offer a lovely illuminating finish. A musthave with these is the Bronzer Brush (£38).

For lips and nails, there’s Lip Color in Shimmer Finish (£19.50) in three shades – Pink Gold Shimmer, Beige Gold Shimmer and Brown Shimmer. This lippy isn’t a metallic or a frost, its sheer and multi-dimensional. Perfect for the beach, as it is really moisturising. There’s an Almost Nude shade of Lip Gloss (£18.50) and a Bare Sparkle shade of High Shimmer Lip Gloss (£18.50), perfect for this nude look.

Finally, two new, Limited Edition, Nail Polishes (£11). Nude and Naked are both pale pink shades which perfectly complement bronzed skin. Now, I don’t know about you but I am off to look at holidays!
