New Collection: Bobbi Brown Cabana Corals Spring 2010

Posted by beautifulwithbrains | December 8, 2009.

BB Corals 01

I love bright colors and pigmented shades, so I never paid much attention to Bobbi Brown collections. Their neutral and sheer products are perfect for those who want a natural and flawless look, but that’s just not me.

So, when I saw pictures of Bobbi Brown’s spring 2010 collection, I was surprised to like the collection a lot. I just love coral shades and this collection is, obviously, full of them. I just hope they aren’t all extremely sheer. Here’s the details:
