Laura Mercier Summer 2010 Collection - Sun Drenched Collection

As I stated when I wrote about the earlier Laura Mercier Summer products, I knew that there would be a second collection and I was right. I just went on the company's website and the Sun Drenched Collection is up and ready to be purchased. This collection is your very typical summer fare, lots of bronze makeup and items ready to get you glowing. The Laura Mercier website gives the following as the collection's overall description, "Our new Summer Color Collection gives your skin an all-over healthy glow, with pops of tropical color. Skin is sun-kissed and radiant, eyes shaded in new neutrals, and lips are drenched in bold fushcia and corals."

Let's check it out...

Should not be used after powder. Works for all skin types.

I only want a few products from this new collection. I would like to try to Bronzed Pressed Powder in the lightest shade but I don't think that I will be getting any of the other bronzers. I would also get the Lip glace in the Bon Bon shade but the others are too warm for my skin. I have tried the Luster Eye Shadows yet so I will be looking into these also, I want to get the Sandbar and the Sundown shades.
