We previously looked at (lusted, drooled over) Guerlain's new-for-fall eyeshadow-and-liner palettes in the "cigarette case" compacts. (Click here to revisit those swatches.)

But that was only half of Guerlain's fall offering. I spent so long admiring the palettes that day, I ran out of daylight before I could swatch the rest of the collection.

Now (at

Though I have yet to purchase a Deborah Lippmann polish myself, I've been captivated by Nordstrom-exclusive Across the Universe since I first heard it described. Luckily, Soaper1 was on the case, and sent me this gorgeous photo, which totally sealed the deal. Here's her review and swatch:

Deborah Lippmann is offering several new polishes during Nordstrom's Anniversary sale. The All

Fall/winter at Rescue Beauty, inspired by the wives of Henry VIII and their fabulous Tudor wardrobes, sounds incredibly opulent.

Color genius Ji Baek says she first inspired by novel Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel.

“The more I learned of the queens’ wardrobes — the layers of embroidery, embellishments of pearls and fur and rich jewel toned fabrics —

Lancome's fall promo pic is totally breathtaking. I am transfixed. Is it their eyes? Is it their lips? Anyway, I love it.

The "theme" is French Coquettes, modern women around the turn of the 20th century. I know you're not surprised to see smokier eyes for fall, but I also really appreciate the choice of lip colors.

Don't you love being really excited about something, and then you finally see it in person and it's everything you hoped it would be? That's me and this OPI Swiss collection. There were a few surprises between the promo photo and the real McCoy, but I'm still picturing myself après-ski.

I swatched the collection in two parts: the cremes and

Today's swatches wrap up Bobbi Brown's Metallic eyeshadows, and conclude our look at Bobbi's powder shadows.

The Metallic shadows are the brand's more shimmery/frosty shades (though compared to other brands, I think Bobbi's frost level is still lower, on average). The shadows are $20 each.

As always, you don't have to follow "the rules," but Bobbi

Bobbi Brown's Metallic eyeshadows are, generally speaking, pigmented and a little more shimmery than her Shimmer Wash shadows. Few of them get outright frosty (maybe Champagne Quartz, maybe Velvet Plum, but you know I swatch heavily. If it's frost, it's still a comparatively light frost).

I thought the most interesting shades from this group were complex purple-brown Velvet Plum, black-with-golden-iridescent-sparkles

With this post, you've now seen all of Bobbi's current, permanent Shimmer Wash eyeshadows (there are many fewer shades than there are of the "regular" (matte) eyeshadows).

Shimmer Wash shadows are gently shimmery, definitely not over-the-top, and Bobbi's website even suggests using the lighter shades as brow highlight. (I was surprised by how gentle and pretty Copper Penny was —

I was chatting with beauty and lifestyle blogger Evonne about her most recent Nubar purchase, and how difficult it is to get Nubar in Singapore, and we both thought you'd like to see her new favorite from the brand, the stunning Night Sparkle (part of the glorious Sparkle Collection, see arm swatches here).

Here are her thoughts on
