MAC Bridal Collection

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

MAC has just introduced their Bridal collection. While they do offer suggestions for individual looks, the easiest way to go is with the full Bridal Trousseau. Packed in this Carry-All tote, the collection includes just about all the products and colors that you could need to make your wedding day perfect and your honeymoon memorable. It's the perfect set if you like to do your own makeup and, not only is it less expensive than going to an upscale salon, but you can use it again and again. Eye shadows, lipsticks, blushes and liners tend to be heavily weighted towards pick hues and those with subtle shimmer, making them idea for catching the light and having a "blushing bride" look her best. Along with the makeup, there is a set of brushes designed to result in the most professional application possible. Price: $514.

Bobbi Brown Chocolate Collection

Filed under: Dining, Cosmetics and Fragrance

Chocolate plus cosmetics? It brings to mind childhood and Bonne Bell lip glosses but with makeup magician Bobbi Brown and Vosges Haut Chocolat involved, this is a treat for grownups. WWD has the details on Brown's new limited-edition fall color collection which was inspired by chocolate. Bobbie Brown also has created a dark milk chocolate Beauty Bar. The $6 bar will be on sale starting in July at Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and four freestanding Vosges stores. The bar includes one of the "it" ingredients of the moment, matcha green tea which is supposed to speed up the metabolism. Brown's chocolate-themed makeup includes an eyeshadow palette, Chocolate Cherry nail polish, blushes and lip duos and also goes on sale in July. Alas, they are not flavored.

Molton Brown Expands Their Cosmetics Line

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

I usually mention the UK company Molton Brown when discussing hotel amenities or spa treatments. They are now making a big push into the makeup world. Their Skincolor line has existed for sometime but they are now revamping it into a larger collection that will feature products with plant, fruit and flower extracts with skin-improving properties. According to Cosmetics News, the products will come in capsule format. New items will include a tinted moisturizer with ginkgo biloba which sells for $43, a blush powder for $33 and Wonderlips lipstick which will sell for $23.45.

Beautyblender, The $20 Makeup Sponge

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

The makeup sponge is usually an afterthought for women, an easily replaceable brown sponge that gets tossed into a drawer but two beauty entrepreneurs are trying to sell women on a $20 makeup sponge (usually you can get a whole bag of sponges for far less than that). The Beautyblender is a pink teardrop-shaped makeup applicator that helps you apply makeup more evenly. The new product will be shown in Victoria's Secret's beauty catalog, on QVC and has product placement in the Academy Awards gift bag from Warner Brothers. The sponge has its own pedestal and a cleaner to keep the sponge clean sells for $17.95. I can maybe understand the need for the pricey sponge but I draw the line at the cleanser.

The kit includes lipstick, lip liner, lip gloss, multiple eye shadows, blush, eyeliner, face base and more. The trunk sells for $475.
