Love it: Elizabeth Arden’s new Summer Escape Limited Edition Colour Collection 2014

With some of the cutest packaging on the block, Elizabeth Arden’s new Summer Escape Limited Edition Colour Collection 2014 most definitely had me at “hello, sailor!”

Reportedly inspired by “the alluring colours of the ocean”, the Summer Escape collection is nautical but nice and filled with sandy neutrals and vivid maritime hues that will work whatever your style. Actually, the beautiful periwinkle blue nail lacquer will work for every style in my humble opinion, but let’s get onto my faves from the rest…

The Pure Finish Summer Escape Bronzing Powder is definitely a favourite of mine, and will definitely be coming with me when I travel to Bali later this month. It’s a baked mineral bronzing powder with a unique marbled design that instantly brightens skin and soft focus microspheres to blur fine lines, and comes in the cutest navy blue, nautical printed compact complete with a deluxe-sized kabuki bronzing brush. Almost too gorgeous to keep in your handbag, really! There is also a Pure Finish Cool Radiance Highlighter that adds a rosy pearlescent glow to eyes, cheeks and lips and can be used pretty much anywhere you want to add a little je ne sais quoi.

For eyes you can choose from the hues of Pure Finish Cream Eye Shadow, each of which is highly pigmented and long lasting so perfect for days at the beach or nights at the bar. There is also a Beautiful Color Define and Highlight Eyeliner Duo, a dual-ended pencil that features a deep shade to line the upper lash line with intense colour, and a light complementary shade to illuminate the lower lash line - definitely travel-friendly and high performance to boot. Just add the Beautiful Color Lash Enhancing Mascara in a limited edition Ocean Blue 03 (a rich pearlised blue) for a little extra pop and you’re good to go!

Elizabeth Arden Summer Escape Color Collection 2014 will be available at all Elizabeth Arden stockists from 1 August 2014, so make sure you head in and check it out. Summer is most definitely just around the corner!
