Guerlain Terracotta: Bronzers in a Sexy Summer Shell

best summer bronzers

Bronzer with a “rugged” outer shell? I can get on board with that. Because I do tend to throw my handbag about with gay abandon half the time, accidentally swinging it into brick walls and standing on it and squashing it into impossible spaces in the overhead locker on the aeroplane. Bronzers and powder compacts do not fare well with that kind of treatment – my Chanel Les Beiges powder, for example, lies in around fifty-five small pieces within the casing so that I have to sweep my brush around slowly and carefully in an effort to stop them all from falling out, rather like when those bronzing beads had a bit of a moment a decade or so ago. Makeup powders do not like to be bashed. And so behold:

Yes, these are Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powders, but they have a special silicon shell that goes some way to protecting them from lunatics such as myself. These bright, rugged outer jackets just make a cult product even more desirable in my eyes – proper summertime bronzing inside, Miami Beach packaging out. There’s no change to the much-loved Terracotta formulation, it’s just had a wardrobe change. A sexy little wetsuit.

The Turquoise Case houses the classic “Natural Blondes” shade, which is by no means limited to blondes, and the bright pink contains “Natural Brunettes”. Again, not limited to brunettes. You can see, hopefully, that the Blondes shade is slightly warmer than the Brunettes – both pack quite a punch and are not for the ultra-fair or those in search of a subtle bit of flush. (Try Joli Teint if that’s you.) The bronzers with sexy outers (RRP £37.50) are £33.75 each at Escentual.com

January Favourites 2016

Watch more Monthly Favourites videos…

I hope that you enjoy the first effort; I have to be honest and tell you that I was in a bit of a befuddle because I was first of all trying to film before Mr AMR returned with the baby (never try to make a video under pressure!) but also I had been completely disorganised and not lined up my favourites underneath camera, which is what I usually do so that I can go through them one by one and remember what the hell I’m supposed to be talking about. I felt like that kooky-lady lawyer with the bright red hair in The Good Wife. What’s her name? Elspeth Tascioni!

I’ll do better next time.

 

Triple Trouble Skin Care Deals…

origins mask set

Two rather great skin care deals that have been brought to my attention: the first is the Origins Mask Marvels gift set. I know many of you are avid fans of the Origins masks, so this deal should be a bit of a pleaser; three 75ml tubes of their bestsellers for £23 instead of £50. There’s the Clear Improvement charcoal mask for pore-clearing and purifying, the Out of Trouble for tackling temperamental skin and soothing any flare-ups and then there’s Drink-Up Intensive for dehydrated skin that needs a bit of a moisture boost. If I remember correctly, Drink-Up (the original) was one of my first ever mask purchases when I started modelling (I’m sure I bought it in New York!) and so I’m looking forward to trying the super-sonic version. You can find the Mask Marvels set at Boots.com here – it’s only on offer this week.
