Yves Rocher Summer 2014 Collection- Bath and Body

I recently reviewed the wonderful summer makeup collection by Yves Rocher, today I am featuring the fresh new fragrance and floral shower gel which are also inspired by the beautiful, blue Mediterranean Sea.

The Eau De Toilett encompasses the essence of summer with its sparkling, lush scent. The fragrance is inspired by mandarins from Sicily, Bergamot from Calabria, sun kissed fruit and bright flowers. The top and middle notes contain citrus and the bottom notes are woody and soothing.

I love how soft and refreshing this perfume is and the light, inviting aroma is perfect for a summer day. If you dislike heavy, deep scents or extremely fruity scents then this fragrance is well balanced to satisfy all preferences. Although feminine and mild it is also warm, slightly sweet and naturally alluring. The fragrance retails for $29.00

I love engulfing myself in the rich, foamy lather of this floral infused shower gel. The scent is sweet, tangy and slightly citrus with 98% natural ingredients! The soapy bubbles are invigorating and the botanical based formula contains no animal products or parabens.

The gel cleanses thoroughly without drying the skin and is pH balanced to hydrate. It retails for just $3.95!

When used together the foamy gel and the wonderful fragrance makes skin smell captivating and irresistibly fragrant! You find these products online by clicking HERE and they also make a great gift for women of all ages.

Yves Rocher Summer 2014 Collection Review

Summer is not over yet and despite the fact that fall is just around the corner I am still wearing bright colors and fun, eye catching shades. This summer Yves Rocher launched a fabulous summer collection which includes everything from fragrance, polish, gloss, bronzer, shadows and more! The theme captures the essence of summer by the Mediterranean Sea and incorporates varying shades of blues, sandy bronze, sparkling gold and sunny yellows. The collection also includes shades that can transition from summer to fall such as: pink, navy and brown.

 3 Pearl Effect Eye Shadows – retail price: $9.95

I like that the bronze and nude shades in this palette provide illuminating shimmer and match beautifully with the deep blue. Although the palette is small it is ideal for travel and the shadows have a silky smooth texture and good pigmentation. They can also be used to create both neutral and bold looks to transition from light and playful during the day to sultry and smokey for evening wear.

Swatches

Summer Collection Eye Pencils- retail price: $5.95 ea

These smooth, bright pencils glide on effortlessly for bold summer eyes. The 4 available shades are reminiscent of the beach and designed to illuminate your look and boost your tan. I like the creamy texture and the ease of blending and application but they do require sharpening and the Royal Blue shade looks more like deep purple. These trendy shadows provide long-lasting color and work best over primer; they are also safe for sensitive eyes and can be used as liners!

Swatches

Mini Summer Nail Polish- retail price: $2.95 ea

For stunning summer nails Yves Rocher has also added 5 great nail colors to the collection. These little beauties are the ideal size for travel and painting your nails as you lounge on a patio. There is even a crackle effect polish available for those who enjoy nail art.

Many of the colors are also suitable for every season and work well for both manis and pedis. They contain full size, thin brushes that make the polish easy to apply and they dry rather quickly.

Bronzing Powder in 3 earthy shades- retail price: $9.95

I love a good multi-purpose product and this lovely bronzer provides subtle highlight for luminous looking skin. It was designed to work for every skin tone and you can wear each shade individually or all together. The formula is light-weight and although it isn't really suited for contouring and shaping it looks lovely dusted lightly on the cheekbones and along the nose.

Glitter Mascara- retail price: $4.95

If you want your lashes to “shine bright like a diamond” then this golden glittery mascara is for you! The light reflecting non-clump formula illuminates eyes for a dramatic, show-stopping effect and the ingredients are gentle on sensitive eyes. The spiral applicator may not produce ultra thickness but you will get a pop of unique color.

Lip Gloss- retail price $4.95 ea

For me no look is complete without lipstick or gloss, this collection has three shades ranging from subtle, shimmery and bold! My favorite is the Bright Pink with red undertones but if you prefer lighter colors then Golden Beige and Copper Sun also offer luminous shine and wonderful hydration. The formula has a non-sticky gel consistency and is infused with raspberry extract to provide paraben free, pretty color that works well for all complexions.  

Swacthes

Overall this collection is gorgeous and for the affordable price the quality is fantastic! If you haven't checked out this line yet I definitely recommend heading to your nearest  Yves Rocher store. You can also find the full collection online by clicking HERE
