Just in time to still talk about this…look what Bobbi Brown has for us in January!
Pretty Powerful Collection
“I really believe that when you feel good about yourself, there’s no limit to what you can do in your life—and that’s pretty powerful stuff.” - Bobbi Brown
The launch of the Pretty Powerful Palettes marks the first anniversary of Bobbi Brown’s iconic Pretty Powerful Campaign. Inspired by her favorite look—a fresh and healthy one—Bobbi’s palettes are designed to be universally flattering.
“I’ve always loved a natural look but that doesn’t have to mean nude color, and it certainly doesn’t mean washed out color. The Pretty Powerful Palettes are filled with pink tones that range from soft to warm and even a shot of bright to create a healthy look because nothing is more beautiful to me than a healthy complexion,” says Bobbi.
Offered in two shade ranges designed with all complexions in mind, each palette contains four neutral eye shadows and complementary pink shades for lips and cheeks.
EXTRA Repair Serum
“I created Extra Repair Serum for women who want moisturization and repair in one. It not only feels great the moment it goes on but also helps skin look better day after day.” - Bobbi Brown
TLC for winter-weary complexions, Bobbi’s new Extra Repair Serum is the ultimate solution for dry skin. With its luxurious milky texture, this skin nourishing serum gives an immediate feeling of comfort on contact.
Over time, it works to help improve skin’s texture and moisture barrier. Infused with anti-aging ingredients, it helps smooth the look of lines and wrinkles while giving skin a firmer, more lifted appearance.
Ingredients & Benefits
Wheat, Bran & Olive Extract Complex helps strengthen skin’s natural barrier, improving its ability to lock in moisture and prevent future damage.
Vitamin C and a powerful peptide help soften the look of lines and wrinkles while firming skin.
Clary Sage Extract encourages skin cell turnover and sweeps away dull surface cells to reveal a fresh, radiant surface.
Magnolia Bark Extract, Sucrose and Caffeine help reduce visible redness caused by irritation.
Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin and Meadowfoam Seed Oil infuse skin with moisture—instantly and over time.
How to Use: Apply to clean, dry skin in the morning and evening. Follow with your choice of Extra moisturizer.

It’s a known fact that winter air completely zaps the essential natural oils found in skin and hair but unfortunately, attention to the nails has long been neglected. Due to the sub-zero effects outside and the bone-dry heat that is pumped indoors, the nails take a real beating – quickly becoming dry and brittle which results in cracks, painful splits and very short-lived manicures (the shame!)
Everyone knows a super-woman. She may not wear a cape or soar through the air, but she does have the power to perform multiple daily tasks in the blink of an eye. These women – our sisters, daughters, mothers and best friends – have such hefty to-do lists that they seemingly never have time for themselves. To lend a hand to these over-extended, multi-tasking mavens, top global anti-aging skincare brand GoodSkin Labs is launching a “sponsorship” program that celebrates these busy women and provides encouragement, inspiration and tips.
