Amongst the many brands releasing "Summer" makeup, the range from The Body Shop is the one that has peaked my interest the most as it goes beyond your usual bronzer/blusher staples.

- Honey Bronze Shimmering Dry Oil £16.00: This gives you a dry finish which is something I think is needed because you don't want to appear sweaty..or sweaty and shimmery. It contains Community Fair Trade honey and beeswax which is what a product like this needs as it aims to make you glisten and keep your skin soft. You need to wash your hands after using it though as it will stain!
- Honey Bronze Brilliance Powder £16.00: An illuminating powder that you can whack on your cheeks and your collarbone to give you a glow. It comes with an inbuilt brush and it contains Community Fair Trade honey and beeswax. It comes in two shades, I know that one is Bronze Shimmer but I don't know the name of the other, sorry!
- Honey Bronze Bronzing Gel for Face £11.00: This suits all skintones and gives an even and natural-looking honey-bronzed glow. It contains Community Fair Trade honey, beeswax and organic aloe vera. You need to wash your hands after using this for the staining issue.
- Honey Bronze Lip Nectar (Honey Bunch/Honeycomb) £9.50: These have the typical payoff you get from glosses and you can wear them in the same manner. They contain Community Fair Trade Honey, beeswax and marula oil so they'll moisturise your lips right up.
- Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder £13.00: A matte bronzer (woo!) that contains Community Fair Trade honey, beeswax and marula oil. It's available in four shades which is good because I've never found a one shade fits all bronzer.
