From bronzer to body oil, meet the summer-day go-tos I’m loving right now
As essential as peony season for me, the annual launch of the Bronze Goddess limited edition collection from Estée Lauder is also a key calendar marker that summer’s coming. The Summer Look Palette (£45) is always a stylish burst of shimmering and matt shades (this time in blues and golds) of eyeshadow that make you want to pack a beach bag and go somewhere (anywhere!). There’s an annual twist on the classic Bronze Goddess Fragrance (£44, esteelauder.co.uk) – this year’s is Azur with added notes of lemon and mandarin for a citrus burst to represent the Côte d’Azur. It’s truly lovely but I always default to the original fragrance with its notes of bergamot, frangipani and jasmine.
