Guerlain Terracotta Collection 2010.

The first powder bronzer I ever used was a Terracotta from Guerlain. I remember reading about it's bronzing perfection in Glamour magazine and saved up my allowance to purchase it from the May Company. I think I was just 16 or 17, and having only used gel bronzers before, I was excited to try this new wonder. I have been hooked on the Terracotta bronzers ever since, and pick up a new one each summer season.

Well, this summer, there is much more to want from the Guerlain Terracotta Collection. Read on and you will see why.

Terracotta Teint d’Ailleurs - $46.00
A must have and a first for the Terracotta collection, this is a tinted moisturizer. It captures the summer’s sun-kissed radiance and holds true on the sun from morning until night. The formula is a gel/cream mix, and it seems to melt into skin as it is applied.

  • Blondes
  • Brunettes

Terracotta 4 Seasons - $74.00
This is a tailor-made bronzing powder with pure gold and SPF 10. As the seasons change, so does our color, or need for it. With this in mind, 4 Seasons is a genius product to accommodate each season, or blend all together for your very own customized bronze glow.

  • Blondes

Terracotta Light - $50.00
This bronzing powder is reinvented for this year with intensely concentrated particles of mother-of-pearl Copper accents are added in for olive skin tones, while pink is infused for us fairer ladies.

Best in Bronze.

Testing different bronzers and self-tanning products has got to be one of my most favorite things about being beauty obsessed. I cannot get enough of a good bronzer - plain and simple. I have tried countless bronzers and continue to enjoy it. Knowing this, you should understand why I am totally smitten with this new product from Sephora. It is one of the Sephora Favorites kits and this one is their Best in Bronze.

Best in Bronze features a collection of Sephora's most popular selling bronzing products. This is truly a one-of-a-kind sampler set stocked with 10 bronzers and luminizers. Just look at what you get:

  • Bare Escentuals bareMinerals All Over Face Color in Faux Tan
  • Josie Maran Bronzing Argan Oil
  • Lorac Tantalizer Baked Bronzer in Golden Bronze
  • Too Faced Pink Leopard Bronzing Powder
  • SEPHORA COLLECTION Nail Polish in Bright Red
  • Benefit High Beam
  • TEMPTU RETOUCH Highlighter in Gold
  • Smashbox Artificial Light Illuminating Lotion in Glow
  • Tarte EmphasEYES Waterproof Clay Shadow Liner in Bronze
  • Korres Monoi Oil Bronzing Powder in Sunglow Light

So, I don't get the addition of the red nail polish in this collection, as red is the last color I think of when I think of summer nail shades. With that aside, I am wanting this set and will be picking it up when I go to the store next week to pick up my special Beauty Insider birthday gift next week.

Sephora Favorites Best in Bronze is available exclusively at Sephora, for $39.00.
