Makeup artist Bobbi Brown has launched a new collection of beauty products, the Nude Collection 2008. My Women Stuff reports that the Nude Collection will be released in March.
According to Bellasugar, the Nude Collection 2008 has beautiful colors and works well with variety of skin tones.
The lip and eye palette has beautiful, flattering shades that will work with a variety of skin tones. What’s cool about the palette is that the compact has two tiers, so you slide the eye shadow drawer out. All of the shadows are limited-edition shades, as is one of the lip colors, so if these colors strike your fancy, you’d better shop while they’re available
I used the eyecolors today, and I really liked them. Except for one shade, they all actually have more pigment and color than it looks in the pan. They go on nicely and look, well natural but better. After doing my makeup and using the glitter gloss in Almost Bare, I looked good. It’s not that often that I think that, either. I used my Nars blush in Torrid for a bit of color pop, and some shimmer powder.

So I guess it’s as good of a time as any to announce that I intend to develop and pilot my own weight-loss brand that I hope to launch in 2009. There was a time when America was not fat, and that was in our not-so-distant past. I’m confident that I can create something exciting and innovative: something that if all goes well, will help change a fat America back into a fit America and will offer this country the healthiest, yummiest, easiest and most effective weight-loss program on the market.
