2013 is definitely shaping up to be the year of the cream. Estee Lauder's Shadow Paints launched this month (check out Extreme Emerald here), we've taken a first look at Clinique's Chubby sticks for eyes, and helped Benefit to launch Fine One One this weekend. And now there's even more creamy goodness headed our way from Bobbi Brown.
On counter from February, the Pink & Red collection is a breath of fresh air. It's all about wearing both shades together in a mismatched, modern sort of way - think sheer pink cheeks and red glossy lips, or glossy pink nails with red matte lipstick.
There are just four products in the collection - all come in either pink or red, and my are they pretty. There's the Sheer Lip Gloss, €24, in Cherry or Pretty in Pink. The nail polish is €14 and comes in Pink Valentine or Valentine Red, while the lipsticks, Hot and Heart, are creamy and matte - we swatched them for you here. They're €25, and I for one will be visiting them at my nearest Bobbi Brown counter soon.

But my pick of the bunch - and harking back to my love of all things cream - are the Sheer Colour Cheek Tints in Sheer Pink and Sheer Cherry, €26. I was given the pink one and it's lovely - it delivers a healthy looking, translucent sheen to the skin with just the right amount of colour. In the photo I've swiped it once across my cheeks, over a BB cream, and blended with my fingers. You can also layer it up for more colour if you'd like. It doesn't disturb my make up and it feels weightless on my face, but if I touch my cheeks, I can feel the product there. I just try not to touch my cheeks.
What do you think, anything tickling your fancy? Would you rock red and pink together? Tell us in the comments!
