The summer collections are beginning to show up through the beauty industry. The past few days have been gray and rainy so I could use a trace of summer to look forward to. Bronze Azure is the newest collection for the summer from Lancome and the French roots of this company are very evident in this one. The Cote d'Azur is summer playground for the European elite and a place that I would love to visit on vacation one year. This collection is a mix of bronzes and vibrant blues for the eyes. The lip look in this collection is pink and shimmery. The blue eye makeup may not work for me but the pink lips will, so hopefully I will find some new shades to investigate in this collection.

I love the pinks in this collection! The Desert Rose Blush might actually work for me, especially against my soon-to-be tanned skin. I love the nail polish shade, Sarong, I actually don't think I own a bright pink shimmer polish so I could even justify this purchase easily. From the lip products, I would like the lip gloss in the pink Hibi-kiss shade and the new lipstick shade, Femme Fire. This one is the more medium shade with a shimmer instead of an all-out sparkle.
I really like two of the eye products in this collection for myself. I think the aqua shades are really pretty but I couldn't pull them off with my eye shade. I really like the quad in the Heat Wave shade, however I already own shades just like and they are not very unique. The eyeliner is a different story, I don't own a bronze liquid liner so I will be all over Scorched. I could wear this all year round, for either work or play.
Lastly, I am so excited to try this fragrance out next time that I go to the Lancome counter. I don't know that I have ever smelled a mixture of ginger and peony and I can't wait to try something new.
