Hi everyone,

I hope you're all spending a nice summer and that you have some free time to relax and recharge your batteries! 

In Switzerland, it's crazy hot at the moment so the perfect time of the year to unleash your inner Bronze Goddess :D

Every summer Estée Lauder launches a gorgeous suuny collection called Bronze Goddess and it's always very popular. This year they do it again and yes, I must admit that the collection is gor-geous! I was lucky to get a few products from the collection so let's have a closer look at them!

"This super-luxurious shimmer spray helps revitalize and condition dull, dry skin. Helps tame flyaway hair, reduce frizz and enhance gloss and shine.Lightly scented with the seductive, sun-kissed Bronze Goddess Eau Fraîche fragrance."

It has the most delicious smell and it adds some sparkles to the skin. That said, the sparkles are very subtle and you don't end up like a glittering vampire in the sun, don't worry! It rather adds an elegant glossy effect to the skin but again it stays sublte. This oil is a great way to moisturize and perfume your skin at the same time. I was impressed how soft it left my skin! Honestly, I think this shimmering oil is one of my favorite products of this collection! And I love the teal details on the items of this collection, too!

Without going too much into details, it contains a lot of emollients (Ethylhexyl Palmitate; Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride) including some plant oils, such as jojoba, olive, and safflower oils. And of course, it contains fragrance plus natural fragrances, such as linalool, limonene, etc. As always, fragrant products can be skin sensitizers so be careful, as with every fragrance, if you have sensitive skin.

Ingredients: Ethylhexyl Palmitate; Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride; Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil; Fragrance (Parfum); Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil; Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil; Silica; Tin Oxide; Calcium Sodium Borosilicate; Tocopheryl Acetate; Tocopherol; BHT; Benzyl Salicylate; Butylphenyl Methylpropional; Linalool; Limonene; Benzyl Alcohol; Cinnamyl Alcohol; Hexyl Cinnamal; Geraniol; Eugenol; Citral; Phenoxyethanol; Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891); Iron Oxides (Ci 77491); Iron Oxides (Ci 77499); Mica <ILN43200>

The cult fragrance is now available in a captivating Eau de Parfum formula!

This is a sensuous, sun-drenched blend of Bergamot, warm Amber, Tiare Flower and Vanilla combined with delicious creamy Coconut.

• TOP NOTES : Italian Bergamit. Ginger Extract. Mandarin
• MID NOTES: Indian Jasmine Sambac Absolute. Creamy Coconut. Frangipani Petals
• DRY NOTES: Vanilla Absolute. Cashmere Wood. Captive Musk. Amber

The scent is very warm and it transports me directly to a tropical beach. I'm not the biggest fan of vanilla and coconut scents but here I think everything blends well together for a warm and sensual scent. I find it very deep and warm and I actually enjoy it a lot. Oh and I absolutely love and adore the packaging. It's totally unique, elegant, and gorgeous! Well done, Estée Lauder!

There are 2 lip products available in this collection: 01 Sunlit Nude and 02 Sun Blush.

I have 01 Sunlit Nude. It's a creamy lipstick that feels very moisturizing and über comfortable plus it has the most delicious chocolate scent ever. It has a sheer coverage, adds a hint of color and a beautiful golden touch to the lips. It makes them literally glow! The golden touch really gives a summer vibe and an healthy sunny look. I've been using it a lot this summer as it's super easy to apply, it looks very pretty and it's moisturizing.

Note that both shades are already sold out on the Swiss website so if you want one of them, don't hesitate if you can still find it in store!

And finally I added in these pictures, the Advanced Night Repair serum because it's one of the best serums out there, It's packed with plant-based antioxidant and vitamins plus it contains an anti-aging peptide (tripeptide-32) and Bifida Ferment Lysate (anti-inflammtory, decrease skin sensitivity) and it's fragrance-free. It's a great serum to hydrate, repair and soothe the skin. Personally I like it because it helps keep the redness I tend to have on my cheeks at bay.

Estée Lauder did it again with this new Bronze Goddess collection. It screams summer, is beautifully packaged and everything is glowing, warm, and feels comfortable! Have you picked something from this collection?
