Cool Blue. Hot Bronze from Elizabeth Arden

Summer starts here. Elizabeth Arden's collection is called Cool Blue. Hot Bronze and is inspired by the beach. They say the collection mimics "warm sand tones and glistening rays of the golden sun as they reflect off of the cooling blue waters of the ocean". Ooh lhhaaavely.

So what's in the range? Flawless Finish Mousse Makeup (€28.00) in Sunkissed Bronze - "a light, airy cloud of colour bronzes skin in a sheer, natural-looking finish. It's for normal skin and leaves a beautiful, translucent finish". Sweep some Bronzing Shimmer Powder (€33.00) in Golden and Deep on top - this silky, smooth powder is perfect for contouring cheekbones, forehead and brow bones and will give skin a radiant glow.

Eyes aren't neglected - oh no. Their new Colour Intrigue Eyeshadow Kit (€33.00) is one I've already been eyeing up - it's absolutely perfect for smoky summer eyes. The shades contained within are Ember, Sand Dune, Cool Blue and Sand Castle. Get in line with the Colour Intrigue Gel Eyeliner Duo (€19.00) in Deep Brown/Hot Bronze and Black Sand/Blue Water and get lippy with Ceramide Plump Perfect Lip Kit (€33.00). This yummy kit contains 4 shades of nude gloss and lipstick. If that's a bit too heavy for summer, then they've also provided us with a Sheer Tint Lip Balm (€16.00) in Sun Bronze and Berry Sun. Perfect for keeping sun drenched lips in top condition.
