After the recent revelation that was the No.7 powder highlighter from the Spring collection, I was very pleased to be sent these pieces from the up and coming Summer collection... The range includes a matte bronzer - yep, thats right folks... Finally a shimmer free bronzer, so we don't have to sparkle through the summer.
The packaging has a bit of a 70's arabian glow vibe about it;
For some reason the packaging reminded me of this advert for Turkish Delight from when I was a kid...
God knows what kind of acid trip this advert is meant to represent - what does the snake mean? Why are these people more worried about having soem turkish delight than getting to the nearest oasis and away from the snake? Anyway. Turkish Delight is a damn fine chocolate treat... and my first impressions are that this is a damn fine bronzer too... However I will be reviewing in full when I've played with it some more.
The lipglosses are very pretty too and come in the shades Golden Peach and Golden Rum, which both contain flecks of gold...
Thankfully, neither are perfumed to match their namesakes (imagine a rum scented lipgloss - No thanks! Peach is fine, Rum not - people would think you had a drinking problem! Not OK in my line of work... or many others I would imagine...)
I've been saving these as I didn't want to sully their perfect jelly like shiny surfaces with my paw prints before I showed you them. I will of course report back on these when I review the bronzer properly!
EDIT - The lip pots are more like a tinted lip balm/conditioner than a gloss!
I've heard there is also an eye shadow quad in the range, and will try to bring you more information as and when I get it.
The summer collection hits stores in May... Just in time for my Birthday!

You've made me so excited about the matte bronzer, my skin is bad enough already without making it glitter so the whole world can see every pore and blemish on my skin.
I'm not a fan of potted lipglosses but they do look really pretty!!
Do you have any idea when the collection is coming out?

Love the look of the bronzer but not too keen on the lipglosses. Also, what is it with No7 and weird packaging? Why can't it be sleek and pretty?
Ok I think I'm going to need these!
Potted lipglosses? Whose bright idea was that?
@ vex - LMAO - they are more of a tinted balm than a gloss really!
the bronzer looks beautiful!
Hmm I really dont like potted lip products, but that bronzer lo9oks quite nice :) I love the gradient on it
Looking forward to see the swatches of the lip glosses.
The golden peach lip gloss looks adorable!
I wonder what the consistency is like, seems like it'll be messy/unhygienic to apply with fingers ):
Would you be reviewing any of the products? Thanks
