Elizabeth Arden - Summer Escape Collection ♥

Picture this...your lying in the sun on an exotic island with a cheeky cocktail in hand relaxing your life away, as the day rolls into the night and the sun starts setting your off out to explore the night life, but when it comes to cosmetics you only have time for the essentials to feel a little "made up". Where do you even begin...


Never fear Elizabeth Arden is here and they most definitely have you covered whether your "home" or "away" with a new collection coming to our shores August 1st.Having never really explored the range of Elizabeth Arden I was suuuuper excited when a few stunning items arrived on my front doorstep from a beautiful creation called Summer Escape.

Summer Escape is just that, a range of products that are perfect to warm your heart, whilst helping to maintain that all year round glow. From your eyes to the tip of your fingers you will be left feeling pampered. With mascara as blue as the ocean to compliment that sparkle in your eyes to the coral shades that coat your pout I know for one I am OBSESSED with the beauty that lies within this collection and I'm sure you too will be just as impressed.

Limited Edition Pure Finish Cool Radiance Highlighter in shade First Mate $55 NZD- I am blown away by this product, at first I thought it was a little glittery but once warmed within your fingertips and patted onto the skin this highlight is absolutely stunning. It catches the light beautifully and when applied heavily gives that "wet"skin look. With an opalescent pink shade this colour is universally flattering for all skin tones.

Limited Edition Pure Finish Summer Escape Bronzing Powder in shade Warm Glow $69 NZD - If you love yourself a little MAC Gold Deposit then you too will be obsessed with this product. When buffed out onto the skin it appears less shimmery giving you that perfect mate glow, I then take a fan brush and go back to the product applying it to the top of my cheek bone, this picks up the more shimmery side to the bronzer and works beautifully at highlighting the specific area.

Infused with antioxidants this bronzing powder is simply beautiful giving you a healthy looking glow all year round!

Limited Edition Pure Finish Cream Eyeshadow in shade Overboard $45 NZD - Navy is going to be huge this Spring/Summer and this shade in particular looks great as a pop of colour upon your lids. Having blue eyes I found it really made mine pop, this product glides on smoothly for a long wearing look no matter what the occasion is. I love with this that you can also use this as a liner if you don't feel brave enough to wear it all over.

Limited Editon Beautiful Color Define and Highlight Eyeliner Duo in shade Midnight Sail $45 NZD - This duo is a gorgeous Topaz Gold and Deep Sea Navy Blue. The gold tone looks fab as a highlight colour on the inner of your eye or you can even use it all over the lid as a base. It instantly brings a glow of warmth to the skin. The navy looks great smoked out under the eye to add a little depth for a night time look. This pencil is so easy and comfortable to use so I personally think this would make for a great statement item in anyone's collection.

Limited Edition Beautiful Color Gloss Stick in shade Coral Reef $39 NZD - I am a huge fan for this style of lip product.What I love most is with the Color Gloss sticks they are super hydrating and glide on like a dream. There's nothing worse than wearing any kind of makeup product that you can literally feel on your skin or lips and this in particular is going to be perfect for wearing the warmer weather. It's light weight and provides the perfect dash of colour to brighten up your daily look.

Limited Edition Beautiful Color Lash Enhancing Mascara in shade Ocean Blue $58 NZD- The 90's are making a come back when it comes to mascara this season as we find vibrant hues making an appearance.This mascara enhances your eye shade beautifully with it's clump free flake free formula. I like to apply one coat of the blue followed by one coat of normal black from the root to the mid of my lashes. The appearance of coloured tips against your eye shade gives a wide eyed fresh look and is perfect when paired with sun kissed glowing skin.

Limited Edition Beautiful Color High Gloss Nail Lacquer in shade Ahoy! $29 NZD - What better way to complete any look than a coat of fresh glossy polish to add a little colour. I am in love with this coral shade, every Spring/Summer I find myself drawn to Corals and Mint tones I feel these just make your heart and soul feel happy. This polish wears beautifully and the brush makes for an easy fool proof application. 

Here you can see just how beautiful the Bronzing Powder and Highlight are when paired together.
