Lancome Summer 2010 Collection - Bronze Riviera

I have been reading for several weeks now that many consider Lancome's Bronze Riviera Collection to be THE collection of the summer. Even though bronzed skin isn't my thing, I am very curious to chekc this collection out and see what products could work very for me. The Lancome website states, "A Playful Glow of Bronze. A Celeboratory Pop of Pink. Be lavished in shades of gold and bronze that jet you away to the beautiful places and faces of the Riviera. The most luxurious elements of nature all come together now to create this summer's hottest color collection - with pops of pink to add a happy play of color to any look".

Let's see if this is THE collection of the season...

Shiny and shock-free: Shield Plasticizers keep nails flexible, shiny, and more resistant to shock and abrasion. Chip-free for days!

Ageless Minerale Blush Brush - Ageless Minerale Blush Brush creates a soft, sexy, sculpted look. The velvetly, pampering touch of this hand-crafted brush shapes cheekbones naturally for controlled, even color application.

Ok, so lots to look at in this collection. I like this collection a lot but I don't think that it is the most amazing one that I have seen so far this summer. However, if I were more into bronzers I might take up a different viewpoint. There are some pieces that I would really like to get from this collection and some that I will be fine with skipping over. I adore the new eye shadow palette and will be able to create some fantastic looks with it. Also, this is one of the few palettes so far from the summer collections without any blue in it so I can safely say that I will use every single shade from this palette. I also love all the new shades of the Juicy Tubes Natural Origins and the new nail polish shade. Definitely some big hits from this collection!
