(NOTE: I think the blue item is Liquid Eyeshadow in Aqua Flash)
Officially, my summer lust is ON like Donkey Kong. I *wish* we could just hop on a plane to someplace warm today, ladies. I need tropical mischief, and there are few things more fun than a girls-only vacay, ya know?
OOH! I could bring along ALL OF MY PICTURES OF TABS (every group needs a designated crazy cat lady) and Estee Lauder’s summery Bronze Goddess 2010 collection. Don’t worry if you forget your blush — we’ll just share mine.
I thought the 2008 and 2009 Bronze Goddess releases were phenomenal; hopefully this year’s is too.

Bronze Goddess Liquid Eyeshadow in Aqua Flash, $17.50
Bronze Goddess Liquid Eyeshadow in Molten Brown, $17.50
Bronze Goddess Liquid Eyeshadow in Sand Shimmer, $17.50
Bronze Goddess Liquid Eyeshadow in Ultra Violet, $17.50
Bronze Goddess Exotic Lip Gloss in Wild Coral, $18

Your friendly neighborhood [sunshine] addict,
Karen
P.S. I’m trying to confirm the list of products in the collection; if I find out that anything’s missing here, I’ll update the post. 🙂

February 16th, 2010 at 9:23 amFor a second thought that Estée Lauder had made a bright blue lipgloss… Hahaha.
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 9:25 amHa! I kinda wish it was!
Sarahc says
February 16th, 2010 at 9:26 amWe could always charter a plane to the tropics. That’s what they do in the movies. 🙂
I don’t even know what chartering a plane means, lol!
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 9:26 amWouldn’t that be fun? I could use a tropical vacay right now.
HC says
February 16th, 2010 at 9:31 amblue lipgloss??
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 9:32 amI wish! I’m pretty sure that’s the Liquid Eyeshadow in Aqua Flash.
Faye says
February 16th, 2010 at 9:42 amI always love EL’s collections, and this is no exception! I’m excited about this and Chanel’s summer collection. And I’m super-ready for summer. Thanks for sharing this bright preview of things to come :).
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 9:51 amYou and me both! Bring on the sunshine, sandals and summer dresses! 🙂
Frances says
February 16th, 2010 at 9:51 amWhile I would love a tropical vacation, I think those eyeshadows are a little bright for me.
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 9:53 amThe one on the left is a shadow; the one on the right is a gloss. EL handles brights pretty well — it’s never too over the top, but you can still see it! Give it a try… you never know. 🙂
Summer Staff says
February 16th, 2010 at 10:14 amI swatched that blue eyeshadow and it is AMAZING! It’s at Nordstroms now, and the whole collection is amazing. The pink leopard-wiggly print bronzer is super golden and pinky, and the blue eyeshadow is super vibrant and if smudged enough, it makes a gorgeous electric blue smoky eyeliner. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I am actually having a snow day today, musing about this collection and all the other summertime releases..
summertime, please come? (talking about the season, not just my name! Haha)
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 1:04 pmGood to know! Thanks for the heads up. 🙂
NubianJ says
February 16th, 2010 at 10:17 amAHH!!!!!!! Just came from Jamaica last week and I ENJOYED MYSELF!!!!! I can’t wait to go someplace else after school ends. That was a much needed vacay during the bitter cold here in chicago.
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 1:04 pmLucky! How was your trip? I’ve always wanted to go to Jamaica!
NubianJ says
February 16th, 2010 at 10:19 amI like the bronzer but that eyeshadow looks like something I bought before. I know these makeup companies just keeps on recycling the same stuff over and over and over again.
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 1:03 pmA lot of companies do the liquid shadow thing… I kinda like it! It’s an easy way to put on a quick wash of color.
Katie says
February 16th, 2010 at 10:51 amEstee Lauder never seems to get a lot of credit, but it’s the first makeup I ever used so I adore it <3 <3 <3
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 1:02 pmI think the line needs to get more love, too. Their 2009 collections were amazing! I hope they continue to do great stuff for 2010, too. 🙂
Lisa S. says
February 16th, 2010 at 11:03 amOhhh, I’m sooo sick of winter! By this time in Missouri, the wintery weather is usually going away.This year it is not…….. So I’m hoppin’ on the makup and beauty blog plane with all ya’ll and headin’ someplace WARM. I’ll even bring fresh brownies to nosh on the way..
Oh and I love the solid perfume pendant!
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 1:01 pmYES! There’s nothing like brownies to brighten up the road trip!!
Aleksis says
February 16th, 2010 at 11:53 amI tried the bronzing..lotion..I think it was…amazing!!! Great scent and color! I’ll bring pictures of my cat too! lol

Vanessa H says
February 16th, 2010 at 11:57 amI love the packaging!
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 1:00 pmMe too. Have you smelled the Bronze Goddess scent? It smells like the beach!
Glosslizard says
February 16th, 2010 at 12:25 pmI’m not usually that crazy for summer, but we have some killer collections to look forward to this year! I love the Exotic Bronzing Blush and I want to see all the liquid eyeshadows!
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 1:00 pmI go buck wild for summer collections! 🙂 Hopefully I can stop by Nordies in the next day or so to get some swatches.
Louisexox says
February 16th, 2010 at 1:05 pmIt’s almost the end of summer here in Australia. I loathe summer so much and I’m glad it’s going away 😀 Next year, I’ll swap with some of you 🙂
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 3:33 pmI’ll happily switch with you! Right now it actually isn’t too bad — it’s foggy in the morning, but clears up in the afternoon. It’s comfortable enough to go outside with a sweater on. I’d rather much have hot weather, though!
Marce says
February 16th, 2010 at 1:08 pmLOL at taking every picture of Tabs with you, I always have a few back-up pictures of Pepa in my cam! Ah, yes, Summertime…it’s gone on holiday here, yesterday it rained like hell and today’s cloudy…a bit of bright makeup could help! 😀
.-= Marce’s last blog post… Look – A Twist on Rihanna’s Grammy Makeup + Mini Tutorial =-.
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 3:34 pmYou gotta be prepared with pet pics!
Bright makeup always helps. Maybe something with blues and greens?
Kajal Couture says
February 16th, 2010 at 2:09 pmI know a bunch of readers are going to yell at me….I’m in Southern California, the sun is shining and it is 78 degrees out. If I could, I would send this weather to all of you!!!
In the meantime, this collection looks beautiful and can make even the coldest of days seem just a bit warmer! Summer, he we come!

Rebecca says
February 16th, 2010 at 2:50 pmUgh, I’m with you – we just had a big snow storm here and I am wet and freezing and READY TO GO TO HAWAII! And preferably bring the Liquid Eye shadow in Aqua Flash with me, along with some bronzer and on of those adorable solid perfume pendants 😀

Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 3:35 pmSounds good to me. Sign me up! 🙂
Cherie says
February 16th, 2010 at 4:11 pmhahaha At first I thought they made a bright blue lipgloss too!
I will definately be checking these babies out 🙂
Karen says
February 16th, 2010 at 8:50 pmWouldn’t it be kinda cool if it was?
Cas says
February 16th, 2010 at 4:41 pmThe blue liquid eyeshadow looks interesting, definitely will check it out soon!

Karen says
February 17th, 2010 at 4:50 pmOver the past few years I’ve developed a serious love for animal print. I love zebra and cheetah prints, esp!
marisol says
February 16th, 2010 at 9:17 pmaaaaahhhhhh Aqua Flash! Just from that picture I want.
Karen says
February 17th, 2010 at 4:49 pmThat would look so pretty on you. MAYBE YOU’LL BREAK YOUR NO BUY??? LOL, I’m such an enabler…
marisol says
February 17th, 2010 at 5:02 pmEnabler alert! Enabler alert!
Do you know when it comes out? I may have to bribe my mom or sister to get it for me. It’s time to get crafty!
.-= marisol’s last blog post… Fun in the Snow =-.
Karen says
February 17th, 2010 at 8:37 pmI’ve heard that they’re already at Nordie’s. I’ll try to check tomorrow!

SilhouetteScreams says
February 16th, 2010 at 9:29 pmI’m really interested in seeing if the Liquid Eyeshadows crease, even when used as a base. That Aqua Flash colour is GORGEOUS though *__*
Karen says
February 17th, 2010 at 4:49 pmMe too! I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Hyzenthlay says
February 16th, 2010 at 9:45 pmI *loved* (and still do, I suppose) the palette from last year!! I’m anxiously hoping that it shows up at the CCO so I can get one for my good friend, who missed out on it last year.
Karen says
February 17th, 2010 at 4:48 pmThat palette and the dual-ended blue pencil are two of my top EL faves. Man that was good stuff… gotta wipe the drool of my chin, LOL!
Hyzenthlay says
February 17th, 2010 at 7:53 pmI didn’t get the double ended pencil at the time. Yes, I still kick myself for it! I looked as hard for it as I did for the palette for my friend . . . Keep your fingers crossed for me that they show up at the CCO!
I think the teal in that palette was what convinced me that I could play with color . . . That and reading your blog and a couple of others! 🙂
Karen says
February 17th, 2010 at 8:38 pmThat teal is AMAZING. Not to rub salt in the makeup would, but it is really great layered on top of that pencil… oy! I really hope you find it at the CCO. I was just at the one in Napa on Sat. and couldn’t find squat.
Hyzenthlay says
February 17th, 2010 at 8:51 pmOW OW OW OW OW!!!! (salt being rubbed in my wounds . . .) 🙁 The Vacaville CCO should be getting another shipment in the next week or two (at least that’s what they told me when I was there last time). I always hear that the Napa CCO is better stocked than the Vacaville one. I’ll keep hoping, though! 🙂
Karen says
February 17th, 2010 at 9:08 pmIf I ever see it when I go there I will definitely let you know. I live a little closer to it now so hopefully I’ll be able to check at least once a month.
NubianJ says
February 16th, 2010 at 9:54 pmMy trip was great thanks for asking! I wore the prettiest dresses with jeweled flip flops and simple makeup…….oh and unlimited drinks too lol
Karen says
February 17th, 2010 at 4:47 pmSounds like you had a lot of fun. Well, if I ever go I’ll be sure to ask you what spots I need to hit up!
diane says
February 17th, 2010 at 12:05 amA, the perfume pendant looks like a real jewelry!
.-= diane’s last blog post… Not another Valentine’s day outfit =-.
Karen says
February 17th, 2010 at 4:47 pmIt does! The packaging is so elegant!
Alison says
February 17th, 2010 at 12:33 amI love the Bronze Goddess perfume, so will definatly be checking out the solid version. I wear that scent mostly during summer but also will spritz it on in winter when I’m feeling blue, it transports me to a sunnier, happier place instantly!
Karen says
February 17th, 2010 at 4:47 pmI love the scent, too. Have you tried the body oil? It’s all sorts of amazing, and the spray never clogs…
Alice says
February 17th, 2010 at 3:21 amCan I join the holiday? PLEASE!!! I absolutely, desperately need one!!! And, PLEASE, I want the whole EL collection! It’s stunning!
Karen, if you bring Tab’s pics I will watch them. ALL!
Karen says
February 17th, 2010 at 4:46 pmYes, girl, get on the plane!! The more the merrier.
And oooh, you don’t know what you got yourself into. I have A LOT of pictures of my cat. It’s what crazy cat ladies do, ya know?
Sophia says
February 17th, 2010 at 6:15 amThanks sooo much for the info and the pics!! I hope there’s more, like the classic Bronze Goddess perfume ( liquid) , the oil and the body lotion, and the sunscreens!!
Karen says
February 17th, 2010 at 4:45 pmOh, I loooove the body oil! Do you have the perfume? I hope they bring it back so I can pick it up. 🙂
knownever says
February 17th, 2010 at 8:08 amHaha that note at the top of the post was a great idea! otherwise the comments would have just been frantic speculation about where one is supposed to put that blue goo! I wish the answer would have been lips…
.-= knownever’s last blog post… ACK! Life Attack! =-.
Karen says
February 17th, 2010 at 4:45 pmMe too! I would definitely be intrigued by a blue lipgloss.
Francesca says
February 17th, 2010 at 7:07 pmJust something funny,
I thought the blue eyeshadow bottle was lip gloss!
I thought yo myself “BLUE LIP GLOSS?!?!?!?!”
haha, great blog Karen!
Karen says
February 17th, 2010 at 8:38 pmThanks Francesca! 🙂

rachele says
February 20th, 2010 at 9:40 pmI have the opportunity to work @ Nordstroms (chanel counter) and the estee lauder counter is right next to mine…i walked into work this morning and saw that collection and IMMEDIATELY purchased the aqua and violet…OMG….the aqua is AMAZING!!! i even went as far as to mix the two together….wow…what a pow!!!…when i was in the 8th grade that was my favorite color combination THE CHARLOTTE HORNETS COLORS (if anyone knows who they are..lol)…anywho…the violet is cool by itself and can even be used as a base for purple powder shadow to give it that extra umph…but i just know that i’m going to have fun with this aqua….
Citrine says
February 21st, 2010 at 10:23 pmFor some random reasons, the blue and orange (eyeshadow/gloss) remind me of the glosses from Milani spring collection…
