So, from the above, yes, the lipsticks DO have more pigment than last time around.. they’re so juicy and deliciously glossy, but actually what is standing out to me is the syrup quality of the glosses – they are just amazing. A little runny, they hit the lip with such a smack of shine that your lips look like mirrors! I do not exaggerate. Both the lipsticks and the glosses have a blackcurrent ‘flavour’ so if you don’t like flavours, avoid, but if you do, they’re wonderful – no half-heartedness here.
I didn’t get a summery smell from the bronzer, but then I wasn’t quite ready to ruin all that beautiful detail with a fat brush to stir it up a bit, but the eye shades went on like a dream. There really is nothing to complain about with this collection.

Both the lipsticks and the and glosses look utterly gorgeous! But yes, the glosses are so shiny I thought they were nail polishes for a second there!
I just got the Spring palette from Clarins, which seems to be the cool toned sister to the summer one. It’ll be hard for me to resist it. Andt the bronzer is too pretty – it looks like an ancient Egyptian artefact! They really are on a roll.
Seems like the collection for my summer of 2013!
Love the look of the bronzer although my one concern with the lipsticks is wouldn’t you get very random pigmented areas on your lips? You’d have to really smoosh them together to get it even. Just feel it might be a bit of a gimmick, but I am a complete cynic 🙂
I <3 everything!!
