The makeup look on the cover model reminds me of the French Riveria and features bronzed skin, bright blue eye makeup, and a neutral lip. The blue eye makeup won't be for me but I am betting that I can find some new bronzers for myself and perhaps a new lip shade. I haven't gotten the change to work with the fragrance yet but I have heard from others in the beauty industry that it is a light citrus, which also isn't quite my first choice among fragrance types.
Let's check the collection out since I can already tell that it will be considered one of the showstoppers on beauty this summer...
Bronze Goddess Sea Star Bronzing Blush - Bronzer and blush in one. Use shades alone or blend. A blush of endless of summer. Shimmering sun-kissed colro to enhance your tan.

Base notes - Amber, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Caramel, Coconut Cream.
The second of the two listed Bronze Goddess scents sounds like one that I would be very interested in but the first one I can leave at the counter. The second one seems to be more floral and has a coconut base so this one will make a Most Wanted list for next month. I can't wait to wear this one all summer long, magnolia is favored note of mine too. So I already tend to gravitate toward this note and the addition of all those others makes this a fragrance that I might not be able to pass up.
The color collection is another story, many of these items are already sold out and most of the rest of them aren't my shades. I'm not into the blush and bronzer combination, I bet that I would create a complete disaster on my cheeks with this product. I really like the matte bronzer in this collection, I am so glad that the beauty industry is beginning to producr bronzers that have a natural matte finish instead of the shimmer finishes that we have been seeing for the past few years. Personally, I never use shimmer bronzers unless I am putting it on my cheekbones only. The only other items that I like in this collection are some of the eye makeup. I love the eye shadow palette and am willing to ignore the pale blue shade in it since I love the golds and bronzes that it contains. My last love from this collection is the Shadestick Duo in the gold shades, I will get use from this product all summer and well into the fall. I can't wait to go to the counter and try this one out. Otherwise, I can leave the lip colors since I am not looking for either plum or coral this summer and I don't think the nail polish shade will work with my skintone.
