This fall, The Body Shop is releasing a new special edition color collection called Fabulous Metallics.

With warm, sumptuous hues full of shimmer, this collection offers night-time glamour as well as everyday appeal. Our favorite item from the collection is the Shimmer Squares (shown above) which can be used separately as eyeshadow, blush, highlighter, or swept together for a healthy, shimmery glow. Available in Velvet Browns and Cashmere Pinks.

Also in this collection:

Precious Rouge ultra glossy lip color

• Lavish Pink
• Opulent Rose
• Sleek Brown

Shimmer Smudgers

• Etched Brown
• Slate Green
• Burnished Metal

Brilliance Powder

• Lustrous Rose

Fabulous Metallics will be available beginning next month at The Body Shop.

The Body Shop has been a longtime favorite of ours for their Body Butters (Mango and Almond are the ones we can’t live without) — but we’re now seeing The Body Shop in a whole new light with their new Hot Tropics Collection, a limited edition color collection for Summer 2007.

The Crystal Sparkle Gloss is so fun and sparkly and smells good enough to eat. In two sheer shades of pink (Santiago Pink and Acapulco Golden Pink) our summer beach bag won’t be without it.

Also, the Duo Glow loose shimmering powder in Salvador Blush and Brasilia Bronze will make any pair of shoulders glow in the sunset.

Gift sets for the holiday are definitely the way to go.

Not only do they pack a huge value, but they give the receiver an opportunity to try a range of products that they otherwise wouldn’t.

The Body Shop has some great holiday gift sets like this Vanilla Spice Quartet Gift with Body Butter, Shimmer Body Lotion, Soap, and Lip Balm in the yummy Vanilla Spice scent.

There isn’t a girl out there that wouldn’t want this under her tree.
