In case you haven’t seen this collection, here is what Clinique is offering this summer for a radiantly bronzed glow:

New Up-lighting Liquid Illuminator is a sheer liquid highlighter that can be dotted on cheekbones or used all-over to create a radiant, bronzed sheen. Available in: Natural, Peach, Blush and Bronze

We already know and love Shimmering Tones Powder and this collection offers four shimmering bronzed shades in: Golden Bronze, Blushing Bronze, Peach Bronze and Bare Bronze.

We’ll also see four shades of Full Potential Lips Plump and Shine in Pure Plump, Glamour-full, Mimosa Blossom and Sugarplump, for ultra-shiny plush lips.

Check out your local Clinique counter, or www.clinique.com for the Summer Highlights Colour Collection beginning April 2007.

We knew the burst of great Bobbi Brown products was too good to last.

We have yet to see (in person) anyone look good in pale blue eyeshadow. And if you’re out there, and baby blue looks good on you, would you throw down $42 for this palette?

Or would you head to the drugstore for Maybelline Sapphire Ice eye shadow quad that’s one fourth the price?

Last November, while attending the International Spa Association conference, we fell in love with Mistral soaps.

Initially, we received a travel size bar of their South Seas Shea Butter Soap while visiting their booth in the exhibit area, and for the next three days had to restrain ourself from taking six showers a day just to lather our skin one more time in its gloriousness.

When we got home, we immediately placed an order for several more of their Shea Butter Soaps (at $2.75 each, you can try them all and not feel guilty!) and some Verbena Hand Soap.

We had intended to give the soap as a gift to an office mate, but after one sniff of its lemon fresh zestiness we had to keep it for ourself.

We have to admit, it’s kind of weird to get all excited about hand soap, but this is beyond fab. We’ve seen this soap at Anthropologie, Nordstrom and online at Mistralsoap.com.

Last month we told you about the NEW Shiseido The Skincare, an eight product addition to Shiseido’s current The Skincare line.

Now that we’ve had the chance to use this collection for the last several weeks, we thought we’d give you a quick update.

Our favorite product from this line, hands down, is Night Moisture Recharge Enriched. The consistency is not too thick, yet our skin feels soft and supple in the morning.

We are also liking the Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam. Like the Gentle Cleansing Foam, Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam is creamy and soft and lathers like no other cleanser, yet rinses away squeaky clean. We don’t like how the Extra Gentle version isn’t fragrance-free. Instead it has the same familiar scent as the other products in the line, which might be irritating if you have sensitive skin (lucky for us, we don’t).
