SS12: Bobbi Brown Miami Collection: first class

Treatment Lip Shines 

Funny how the mind works isn't it?  Every time I hear the word Miami I think of the Will Smith song "Welcome to Miami".  And then I can't stop remembering the shit fit he threw when he was in Ireland and discovered that there were no first class flights from Dublin to London.

Oh hilarity.  I think he eventually booked out an entire Aer Lingus plane to travel the fifty minutes on his own with his family. Will, boyo, there's literally no class system in Ireland - surely you knew that?

Right so where were we?

Shimmer Cheek Glow in Gold

New from Bobbi Brown for summer is a beachy, shimmery and warm little collection.  "It's about sunkissed skin" say BB "and beautiful coral and nectar colours infused with gold."

Up top of page (say this in Emmerdale accent) are four limited edition Treatment Lip shines (€24) in soft peaches and pinks.  Not just lip colour, these babies will also double up as fancy lip balms - they're packed with shea butter and the like.

In next field we've got Shimmer Cheek Glow (€42) - a fab powder, available in two shades (Golden and Miami).  Also limited ed: so if you want one I'd reckon you'd need to be quick off the mark.  This has the makings of one of those BB piece of kit that sells out in nanoseconds and is definitely the pick of this bunch.

Four metallic eyeshadows and some summery scents round out the collection.

So what do you reckon?  Excira and delira or wha'?

Longwear cream eyeshadows in four new shades: Copper, Bronze Sugar, Nude Beach and Candlelight (€24)

Shimmering Fragrance Oil (€42);  Beach fragrance (€50)
