Bobbi captures the laid-back beauty of California's south coast in Malibu Nudes; channeling your seaside chic self is quite easy with a swipe of these fresh colors that flatter just about any skin tone.

Malibu Nudes features the following products:

Nude On Nude Eye Palette (P3,300.00)- Envisioned to be a modern classic palette, Bobbi has carefully chosen the shades that went into this palette based on the best colors she sees on women's faces. Flatters all skin tones and universally fits any occasion.

Art Stick (P1,400.00)- Add a dose of fun to your beach- worthy look with a pop of color. Art Stick comes in the following, new colors: Brights (Hot Berry, Electric Coral, Punch) and Nudes (Brown Berry, Rich Nude, and Bare).

Blush Duos (P2,900.00)- cheek colors inspired by the natural flush caused by a long day out in the sun. Use the lighter one for a soft flush and intensify with the darker shade for added drama. Shades available are: Pastel Pink/Powder Pink, Sand Pink/Pale Pink, Tawny/Peony.

Great makeup starts with great skin; I think we all know that, but we oftentimes forget! After dressing your skin with great makeup, follow it up with great skin care like Bobbi's new masks to help skin regenerate; this trio of health- boosting, glow- inducing, and pore- purifying masks can be used individually or together for a customized regimen.

Instant Detox (Gray tube, P2,550.00)- A clay mask made with Hawaiian Sea Water and Amazonian White Clay to absorb toxins and dirt that can sabotage pores.

Skin Nourish (Pink tube, P2,550.00)- An intensely hydrating mask for a moisture- intensive regimen. Features Muru Muru Butter, Coral Grass, Salicornia, Trehalose, and Chorella extract for unparalleled hydration and moisture. Tip: leave it on for nourishment!

Radiance Boost (White tube, P2,550.00)- an exfoliating mask that reveals your skin's new radiance. Contains Superfine Walnut Grain beads that exfoliate, Kaolin Clay that removes excess oil, Algae extract and Sodium Hyaluronate to moisturize and hydrate skin, and Orange essence to energize skin.

P.S. The masks are being sold as minis and can be bought as a set for trial for P2,500.00.

Here are two of Bobbi's masks: Skin Nourish on top and Radiance Boost at the bottom; both have a calming Lavender scent and feel rich and creamy; it really feels like you skin's getting a treat when you slather them on.

Folks, there's an Asia- exclusive Bobbi makeup product that's debuting this March in our local BB counters and it's Skin Foundation Cushion Compact. It's a moisturizing, caring foundation housed in the ever popular cushion packaging that gives skin a healthy, dewy finish.

The product comes in 6 shades that cater to a wide range of skin tones. The cushion stays fresh and not saturated with the product when it's new to guarantee freshness. Formula is infused with 'wake me up' ingredients namely Caffeine and Pink Silk extract and has SPF 50 PA +++ for maximum sun protection. The compact is refillable so yay for minimized environmental footprint!

Here's a swatch of Medium on my skin; it's reminiscent of Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation, therefore it's a wonderful summer foundation!

A summer foundation needs a summer powder! Meet Bobbi Brown Nude Finish Illuminating Powder (P3,000.00), a powder with a unique ability: it gives skin a matte yet luminous finish plus corrects skin tones; it's actually a Shimmer Brick, but this time around, it can be used as an actual finishing powder and not just an accentuating product like its sister.

Bobbi also launches a new brow makeup called Long-Wear Brow Gel (P1,400.00) inspired by her Long- Wear Gel Liner series; it's a pigmented gel-wax that sculpts and defines brows, and gives the right hold that can last for up to 24 hours, thanks to Film Formers, emollients, and Beeswax that hold hair strands in place; it is available in the following shades: Blonde, Mahogany, Grey, Wheat, Rich Mahogany, Taupe, Saddle, and Rich Brown. My heart skipped a beat upon learning that Bobbi has finally released a version of my preferred brow product!

And I'm going to review some items from the collection for all of you! This is perhaps Bobbi's most extensive Summer collection to date and as always, anything Bobbi excites me! In fact, I went home right after the exclusive launch just to play around with the products. Will reveal my thoughts on the products soon!

Bobbi Brown Malibu Nudes, Long Wear Brow Gel, Nude Illuminating Powder, Skin Foundation Cushion Compact, and Masks will be available this March 2016 in all Bobbi Brown counters. Visit BOBBI BROWN PHILIPPINES on Facebook for more information about these collections.

So which product do I start with? :D
