Weโ€™ll admit it: our hearts always beat a little faster when we get our hands on Guerlainโ€™s Summer offering. We have a long and deep affection for the brandโ€™s summer collections that goes back to a certain famed (alas long discontinued) leg tint, which was pretty much the only product of its kind. And it should not be forgotten: they basically INVENTED bronzers, with the Terracotta range.

This yearโ€™s offering doesnโ€™t disappoint: Terracotta Superbloom is a truly beautiful compact opening to reveal a shimmering bee inset into the bronzing powder. Swirl it together for an all-over, gleaming glow โ€“ or touch a finger to the wings or the body of the bee, for a copper highlight or a pretty, glimmering pink flush to the cheeks. Notably, itโ€™s created from 96% ingredients โ€“ a direction the brand has been moving in across skincare, make-up and fragrances, too.

But our lips are loving another of Summer 2024โ€™s introductions: KissKiss Bee Glow Oil โ€“ because we do love a lip oil, and the gloss from these is more lasting than most, plumping and nourishing with a really luscious formula. Here, weโ€™re looking at 92% naturally-derived ingredients. Apply generously from the chubby doe-foot applicator for comfort, a hint of colour and a glassy shine. (Weโ€™re loving both 309 Honey Glow โ€“ above left โ€“ and 775 Poppy Glow, right โ€“ they go on sheer, for a gorgeous wash of colour.)

Now we KNOW summerโ€™s on its way!
