Chocolate is the new brown, says Bobbi Brown
MANILA, Philippines - “This season, chocolate is the new brown,†says Bobbi Brown.
Imagine bittersweet chocolate and ripe raspberries — the inspiration behind Rich Chocolate. Super-saturated shades of black-infused brown give eyes an unexpected alluring softness. The perfect complement to this standout eye is a touch of rosy, just-pinched color on cheeks and lips. Rich, deep, and dense, chocolate is your new go-to hue this season.
Reminiscent of your favorite decadent chocolate bar, this season’s must-have palette offers a range of beautiful brown tones in an array of textures and finishes — from matte to soft shimmer to sparkle. These shadows are designed to be worn alone or layered for a smoldering look. Plus, the palette includes a Dual Ended Eye Shadow, eye liner brush and mirror for easy, on-the-go application. This limited-edition palette costs
P2,900.
Bobbi introduces Lip Color (P1,300) in nude pink and berry tones. Each shade creates a naturally classic look that works beautifully with the Rich Chocolate Eye Palette.
Both of Bobbi’s fan-favorite eyeliner formulas are now available in deep chocolate shades for a fresh take on this season’s strong eye.
Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner comes in Dark Chocolate Ink (P1,450) while the Long-Wear Eye Pencil is in Black Chocolate (P1,450).
Effortlessly create a classic or smokey eye using Bobbi’s Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Bittersweet shade (P1,550).

Makeup meets skincare in Max Factor CC Cream
Hot on the heels of the stellar BB cream craze in 2012 comes the next innovation in beauty: CC creams.
Now, right on trend, Max Factor is taking its rich heritage in makeup innovation and artistry to the very next level with the launch of its very own new CC cream, now available in leading stores.
Born and developed in Korea, CC creams are the next generation of BB creams (Beauty Balms), which married sheer coverage and skincare benefits together in one clever formula. Now, CC creams take these key benefits to the very next level by delivering more coverage and skincare benefits in a sophisticated multi-tasking solution.
More specifically, the new Max Factor CC Cream provides intense complexion correction immediately on application, to create a healthy, natural-looking glowing skin statement. 9.7% foundation pigments provide high-level flawless coverage while a cocktail of natural ingredients (cucumber water, glycerin, rose hip extract, and sea buckthorn hydrates) brightens the skin. It also provides SPF 10.
Max Factor CC Cream is available in four shades — fair, tanned, medium, natural at P695.
