The new summer collection from The Body Shop only consists of bronzing products and all series of brush types to help apply the powders. I just ourchased my first new bronzer for the summer, so I am not desperately in need of another one but I would like to own two shades for when my tan varies in hue over the next three months. I see bronzers of all formulas in this collection, the only one that I am very likely to purchase is the pressed powder bronzer, the gels and shimmering oil are more complex products than I often try to work with in the summer heat and humidity. The bronzers in this collection remind me of one of the MAC summer collections from years part, Naked Honey. This wasn't a favorite collection of mine but it still had it's memorable pieces.
Personally, I think that this new collection from Body Shop could be a bit more diversified, how many types of bronzers does one need for the summer? The best part about this collection is that there is a product of two for everyone however the collection range doesn't encourage purchasing any more than one or two products
Here is the new range of bronzers in the Honey Bronze collection...
Honey Bronze Shimmering Dry Oil - Give your skin an even, bronzed look with a hint of shimmer with a lightweight body oil. Honey bronze glow. Tan-enhancing shimmer. Non-greasy finish.

I think that the piece that I would need most from this collection is the Honey Bronzing Powder in both the fair/medium and medium shades so that I switch them up to make my ever-changing summer fake tan. This is only product that I am at likely to purchase from this collection, the rest are very nice however I wouldn't use the shimmer finish bronzers enough to warrant a purchase of them. The only product that I would consider buying is the Shimmer Waves palettes, I like both shades of them and since I could use them as eye makeup, I know that I would get use from them all summer. I would be unlikely to use them in any other way then as eye shadow.
The last piece from the collection that I have an interest in is the brush collection. I am considering ordering the Face and Body Brush to use for loose powder since Body Shop has very high quality synthetic face brushes. This isn't my favorite collection of the summer however it produces a series of high quality bronzers and all types of brushes to aid in application.
