Gilt Celebrates 20 Years with Bobbi Brown & She Teaches Us How to Create the Smoky Eye in the Back of a Taxi

We all remember our first Bobbi Brown Cosmetics purchase – from that revolutionary yellow-based foundation to getting our makeup done for our weddings by her incredible team of makeup artists. So Gilt.com has teamed up with Bobbi to celebrate the brand’s 20th Anniversary with a knockout sale of Bobbi's favorite products – both from her own collection and her everyday items.

From the greatest-hits selection of Bobbi Brown products, including a 20th Anniversary lip palette that celebrates Bobbi’s original collection of lipsticks as well as the award-winning gel eyeliner that debuted in 2001. We also include her Buffing Grains Skincare Set, the  Full Size Everything Mascara with a bonus Mini Instant Makeup Remover and of course the perfectly sized Party Collection Mini Brush Set.

Exclusive to Gilt, Bobbi traveled outside the beauty zone and picked "Bobbi's Top 20" - 20 items that she loves in her everyday life. Some of those include:

  • The Feed 2 Tote Bag: "The more you give, the more you get back. I love this bag not only because it is stylish, but because it helps feed people all over the world.” - Bobbie Brown
  • Calvin Klein Collection's Stretch Cotton Jacket: "A simple black blazer is my go-to wardrobe staple.” -Bobbi Brown
  • Vince Long Baby Bell Jeans: "Vince Jeans are super flattering and are cut in a way that makes you look tall and skinny.” -Bobbi Brown

 Did you know that…

  • When Bobbi’s first line of ten lipsticks debuted at Bergdorf Goodman in 1991, she expected to sell 100 lipsticks in the first month, and ended up selling that many her very first day.
  • In 1992, she revolutionized makeup by introducing yellow-based foundation sticks (as opposed to pink, heretofore the industry standard).
  • Bobbi has written six books—Bobbi Brown Beauty (1996), Teenage Beauty (2000), Beauty Evolution (2002), Living Beauty (2007), Makeup Manual (2008) and Beauty Rules (2010) — nearly all of which were instant best-sellers.

M.C.L. By Matthew Campbell Laurenza Launches it's First-Ever Handbag Collection Exclusively on Gilt.com November 11 – Get it on Gilt a Month Before it is Available Anywhere Else

Tomorrow, jewelry designer M.C.L. By Matthew Campbell Laurenza launches its first-ever handbag collection on Gilt.com a month before you can find it anywhere else. 

The new handbag collection encompasses the same philosophy of quality craftmanship and distinctive design as the beloved M.C.L. By Matthew Campbell Laurenza jewelry line. With a keen eye for colors, textures and patters, the handbags are inspired by classic art movements ranging from elaborate Gothic and Renaissance styles to elegant Art Deco patterns. Using these strong influences, Matthew artfully blends classic looks with modern, bold details to develop his opulent handbag silhouettes. The handbags are hand-made with precious materials sourced from all over the world and designed for fun-loving, confident women. 

There are two collections in the debut launch – the "Gold Crest Collection" and "Purple Crest Collection." 

Ultimate objects of desire, no two Gold Crest handbags are the same; each bag is handcrafted by experience craftsmen to ensure quality excellence. The Gold Crest Collection features exquisite jeweled bags which seamlessly blend together a selection of exclusive embroidered fabrics, Italian leather or snakeskin. The eye-catching frames and jeweled pieces are sculpted using the finest sapphires, rubies and semi-precious gems. A marriage of high fashion and fine jewelry, the Gold Crest Collection showcases vibrant and luxurious materials. 

Also created with fine Italian leather, snakeskin and signature embroidered fabrics exclusive to M.C.L., the Purple Crest Collection has been designed to transition from day to evening effortlessly. Eye-catching embroidered patterns unique to M.C.:. Are designed with striking color combinations ranging from rich hues such as Midday Blue and Mango to the subtle, quiet tones of Olive Greay and Cool Wine. Sourced from Italian tanneries, the leathers are treated with various state-of-the-art processes to create distinctive textures and effects. Thoughtfully constructed, the handbags also come with a hidden key ring clip and interior pockets for easy organization and security.
