"My mission when I set out to develop Extra Repair Moisturizing Balm was simple: to cut through the clutter and focus on what skin really needs to look fresher, smoother and healthier - what all women want." - Bobbi Brown 

Bobbi launched her signature skincare balms 10 years after a ski trip in Telluride left her skin exceedingly dry. They've been a cult favorite ever since, providing skin with amazing texture and the ultimate in moisture. Now, with the introduction of Extra Repair Moisturizing Balm and Extra Repair Moisturizing Balm SPF 25, the balms offer intensive anti-aging benefits, too. 

Based on extensive research from Bobbi's teams in New York, Tokyo, and Shanghai, the new Extra Repair formula combines Argirilene® Peptide and Clary Sage Ferment to form the Extra Repair Complex, a potent skin-repairing complex that addresses two primary skincare concerns: loss of collagen and lack of moisture.

• Argirilene® Peptide boosts the natural production of new collagen and elastin in the skin, gradually helping to restore natural structure and firmness

• Clary Sage Ferment improves cell renewal and repairs barrier function, so skin looks more radiant and is more hydrated.

Extra Repair Moisturizing Balm

Bobbi could only have one skincare product, this revolutionary treatment would be it. The texture is super-rich and soft, and skin is strengthened thanks to anti-aging Extra Repair Complex. Argirilene® Peptide boosts natural collagen production, and Clary Sage Ferment improves skin's ability to hold in moisture. An immediate boost of natural hydration comes from proven lipids, including Linoleic Acid, Wheat Bran, and Cholesterol. The result is skin that's radiant, nourished and hydrated. 

Extra Repair Moisturizing Balm SPF25

Since sun damage is a key factor in skin aging, this is an everyday essential for broad-spectrum sun protection. Formulated with the same powerful ingredients as Extra Repair Moisturizing Balm, this multi-tasker offers the same anti-aging benefits. Argirilene® Peptide helps to increase skin density and firmness, while Clary Sage Ferment works with glycerin and borage oil to boost moisture immediately and over time. 

Usage: Warm in hands and gently pat onto dry skin daily. The formula instantly melts into the skin on contact, while a refreshing fragrance soothes the senses. Skin is left with a perfectly smooth and even texture that allows makeup to glide on effortlessly.

Bobbi Brown Rose Gold Collection

15 May 2012 11:25:49 AM EST

The inspiration behind Rose Gold, celebrity makeup artist Bobbi Brown's latest collection, is simple and romantic: her treasured rose gold wedding band. Here, she shares her secrets to wearing this season's prettiest hue. This collection offers the perfect shades of pinks, roses, corals and plums to take your look from winter to spring. With two new shimmer bricks and an assortment of universally flattering lip glosses and lip colours, everyone will be sure to find the perfect Rose Gold shades for their complexion.


SHIMMER BRICK COMPACTS

Nothing lights up the face like a bit of shimmer. One season, with just minutes to go before the runway lights went up, a fashion designer asked Bobbi to give all the models a lit-from-within look. So she took a shimmery eye shadow and dusted it on everyone's cheeks-and that's how the idea for Shimmer Brick was born. Each of Bobbi's iconic Shimmer Brick Compacts are handmade in Italy via a manufacturing process that involves pressing five different shades of ultra-luxe pure pearl pigments into one pan and double baking them. To create a shimmering glow, swirl the Face Blender Brush across all the shades, and then lightly dust cheeks and forehead, or brush one shade on the eyes for subtle shimmer.

(Tip: When it comes to shimmer, moderation is key. Apply shimmer to just one or two features at a time).

RICH COLOR GLOSS SHADES

Everything you want in a lip gloss-and more. Rich Color Lip Gloss offers the look and benefits of three products in one: the full colour coverage of a lipstick, the soft shine of a gloss, and the luxurious feel of a balm. The modern formula moisturises and conditions, wears comfortably, and lasts for hours. Now available in four NEW shades, all perfect for spring. 


New RICH LIP COLOR SPF 12 SHADES

Rich Color Lipstick SPF 12 is a lightweight and incredibly emollient lip colour formula.  The colourless and translucent base coupled with a special gel system allows for intense colour release and true colour projection.  The soft, smooth texture melts onto lips for a truly comfortable wear that lasts for hours.  Now available in 6 NEW universally flattering spring shades.
