it all started with a trip to the Grand Canyon…
No, no, that’s not right.

However it started, Bobbi Brown’s new fall 2012 collection is conjuring images in my mind of Vampire Edward skulking amongst the saguaro.
According to the friendly Bobbi brown sales partner I spoke with at Nordstrom today, the new Desert Twilight collection was NOT inspired by vampires, as opposed to the concoctions of my active imagination.
But can’t you see it? — Edward, with that familiar look of tortured malaise, his pale skin glistening in the late afternoon light as he fluffs his tousled hair and mutters in his moody way, “Bella…we ought to run away together. You, me and Renesmee, our half-human child who ages in canine years.”

The Bobbi brown sales partner said that the 15-piece release for eyes, lips, cheeks and nails (yup, nails) was inspired by a photo shoot Bobbi had in the desert and represents a new direction for her, something outside of her comfort zone.
Along with the wearable neutrals we typically see from her, the release also features a bright turquoise cream shadow, a shimmery purple eyeliner, and two nail polishes, also in the same turquoise and purple, and all four of them are TO DIE. The gal from the YSL counter even walked over, and we gushed over them for a good 10 minutes.
The bright blue shadow and polish are so intense that they practically reached out and grabbed me by my eyes.
Oh, and the purple liner and polish? A complex blackened purple with tiny flecks of multicolored glitter. very Chanel.
A couple of tiny black tubes also caught my eye… I thought they were black lip glosses or lip conditioners at first, but they were actually a combination cream product called the cream Lip colors for Lips & Cheeks.
They double as blushes and lip colors — like Becca beach Tints, but thicker, with much more pigment and a glossy finish.
Here are pics and swatches of the release. let me know if something catches your eye.
