YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Beauty Edwina Ings-Chambers Bring us sunshine By You Magazine - May 16, 2021 From bronzer to body oil, meet the summer-day go-tos I’m loving right now. As essential as peony season is for me, the annual launch of the Bronze Goddess limited edition collection from Estée Lauder is also a key calendar marker that summer’s coming. The Summer Look Palette (£45) is always a stylish burst of shimmering and matt shades (this time in blues and golds) of eyeshadow that make you want to pack a beach bag and go somewhere (anywhere!). There’s an annual twist on the classic Bronze Goddess Fragrance (£44, esteelauder.co.uk) – this year’s is Azur with added notes of lemon and mandarin for a citrus burst to represent the Côte d’Azur. It’s truly lovely but I always default to the original fragrance with its notes of bergamot, frangipani and jasmine. Pixeleyes Michael Kors eau de parfum (£49, theperfumeshop.com) is a classic and another of those perennial aromas of sunshine and escapism, so much so that I only wear it in summer months. Sniff its notes of orange flower, rose and fig and you’ll see what I mean. A new unisex fragrant summer essential is Dior Eden-Roc (£220, dior.com), which captures the glorious shimmering sea and sunbeams of one of my favourite places, Cap d’Antibes, and that most illustrious of old-world glamour hotels, Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, by blending pine, jasmine and coconut. Body oils are also a key part of summer beauty for me. Nars Monoi Body Glow II (£45, harveynichols.com) is a clear version of the original tinted oil and is like liquid tiare flowers in a bottle. The Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil (£75, tomford.co.uk) is always available but for me is a summer holiday buy. The white florals and amber fragrance are sumptuous and the shimmer is delicate. It’s wonderful for dressing up evening limbs on show. Another classic that should never be overlooked is Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil (£29.50, uk.nuxe.com), currently housed in artist-decorated limited-edition bottles. It can be used on face, body and hair and for many it’s a signature summer fragrance with its mix of orange blossom, magnolia and vanilla. I’m a year-round bronzer user but always a sucker for a summery limited-edition of a favourite. Guerlain Terracotta Light Bloom (£39 from 1 June, johnlewis.com) comes with gold pigment for added dazzle and a swirl of pink blush at its centre. Meanwhile, Clarins’s seasonal matt Summer Bronzing Compact (£32, clarins.co.uk) comes with a watermelon-inspired design which is also mirrored in the pressed powder inside. And what would summer beauty be without a glittering lipgloss? I like L’Oréal Paris Brilliant Signature Plumping Gloss (£9.99, boots.com). I can’t claim my lips seem fuller but it’s hydrating, isn’t sticky – and fun! @edwinaingschambers Beauty assistant: Alice Robertson RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR You could get paid to test Liberty’ s Beauty Advent Calendar People are obsessed with this Revlon hair drying tool A new drop of Boots Star Gifts has landed for Christmas 2022 Popular in Beauty People are seriously impressed with Primark’ s £8 skinny curling tongs December 16, 2019 Boots is giving away free lipsticks to celebrate the launch of January 23, 2020 This long-lasting eyebrow product is getting rave reviews and is just June 21, 2021 These Liz Earle gift sets are on sale just in time March 5, 2020 WIN A Kiehl’ s skincare heroes bundle worth £104 July 24, 2020 Cult skincare brand Sunday Riley is branching out into hair products April 24, 2020 Superdrug is holding a huge BOGOF sale on all cosmetics for May 28, 2020 Your salon could charge you extra for overgrown roots and bad June 25, 2020 Facial steamers Why searches for this beauty gadget were up 400 July 10, 2020 Lush subscription boxes have arrived and they contain exclusive new products August 3, 2020 Popular CategoriesFood2704Life2496Fashion2240Beauty1738Celebrity1261Interiors684 Sign up for YOUMail Thanks for subscribing Please check your email to confirm (If you don't see the email, check the spam box) Fashion Beauty Celebrity Life Food Privacy & Cookies T&C Copyright 2022 - YOU Magazine.
