Lancome Summer 2009 - Tropiques Minerale

I have become quite a fan of Juicy Tubes within the past few weeks so I am really looking forward to this new collection from Lancome. Ever since the end of April, I have been buying lip glosses like there is no tommorrow. Hopefully this collection will contain a several pretty shades for the summertime. Maybe even a shade or two that will complement my faux bronzed skin. This collection is called Tropiques Minerale and is another collection based on bronzy skin and beachy beauty. However, I have a feeling that when I fell in love with their spring collection that it was a quick love affair and one that was doomed to fail.

This collection was not easy to find and piece together so I hope that I have all the products and that they are all correct. I still do not understand why spring looks are up on websites since it is now long past springtime and it is now firmly summertime. So here is what I can find between the Lancome site and the Macy*s site.

Also part of this collection are the new Juicy Tubes PURE, which I have already discussed in a post from earlier this month so I do not proprose to discuss them all over again. I have a feeling that I am only getting about half of this collection but the products are scattered all over "New Products" and Lancome still has products from spring mixed in there too. I think I will passing on this whole collection, nothing that I have found has really rocked my boat so far.
