Aren’t these colors gorgeous together? I love them and they SCREAM summer to me, which I am really anxious for.
The pink color is a subdued pink/gold/coral color with shimmer.
The teal is a green based teal, quite opaque and shimmery.
These are perfect for using as either a thick liner or you can smudge them out all over your lid.
They’re really soft and easy to work with, though you will need a large pencil sharpener to sharpen them.
I love these kinds of easy products in the summer because who wants to spend a ton of time on their eye makeup when it’s 90 degrees out? You can just quickly smudge them on and go, AND pop it into your bag!

Shimmering Bronze

Shimmering Bronze Nail Lacquer is a gorgeous warm medium bronze with tons of red, pink and gold shimmer. I am in love with this metal color lately it’s just so pretty.
The formula was good but on the thin side so I used three coats for complete coverage.

How cute is the packaging on the Sea Star Bronzing Blush? I hated to ruin the pink and gold starfish design but I had to swatch it eventually…
The color is a very flattering pink/gold with shimmer. The colors of the pan and starfish all blend together very nicely creating a uniform color.
It was soft and very pigmented and I think would work with a large variety of skin tones.
Overall:
From the three pieces I have been up close and personal with, I think this is a great collection. Everything was pigmented quite nicely and easy to work with. I would love to get my hands on the eyeshadow palette in this collection, it looks really amazing also!

I love that nail polish!
Melli´s last post…I am soooooo ready for spring!!!!!
Ooh the bronzing brush is v pretty – both the packaging and the product.
The shadowstick is so pretty! I like the starfish blush too, it’s kind of cute!
Love all…
Love the shades of those ShadowSticks although I’m worried they might crease. They look so creamy.
That nail color is really nice. I really love EL nail polishes. Don’t want to pay for them so I’m just going to sit tough and let this one pass me buy. That seashell is calling my name though.
sass´s last post…And So It Begins…MAC Wonder Woman Collection
Love the eye pencil shades, love the polish, love the starfish, but I fear I’d buy it and not use it because it’s so friggin’ cute! Looks like a great collection.
I love the packaging on Sea Star Bronzing Blush and would buy it for that alone. Estee Lauder usually has cute compacts during the holiday seasons, so I’m happy the summer collection is super cute. I really like the Shimmering Bronze nail color, but I don’t think I’m ready to drop $19.00 on it.
The nail polish, not so much, but oh, I am loving that blush. I may just suck it up and pay the money and probably be very happy I did
.
I love the eyeliners, and the whole theme makes me yearn for an east coast summer.
You know, you’ve done it again! I looked at the polish in the bottle and thought -”Meh”, but then I saw it on your nails, and now I must have it! It has such depth! Preetttttyyyy….
The shadow sticks are really pretty. I’d love to see you do a makeup look with these. The polish is really pretty. The bronzing blush is also pretty.
That bronzing blush is adorable *and* gorgeous!! Although I’m hard-pressed to to pay $34 for something like that >_<
This collection is calling my name. I too am interested in seeing the eyeshadow palette..EL just sent me an email offer today stating that free shipping is available with a Bronze Goddess purchase! Maybe now’s the time….
