Guerlain Terracotta Collection 2010.

The first powder bronzer I ever used was a Terracotta from Guerlain. I remember reading about it's bronzing perfection in Glamour magazine and saved up my allowance to purchase it from the May Company. I think I was just 16 or 17, and having only used gel bronzers before, I was excited to try this new wonder. I have been hooked on the Terracotta bronzers ever since, and pick up a new one each summer season.

Well, this summer, there is much more to want from the Guerlain Terracotta Collection. Read on and you will see why.

Terracotta Teint d’Ailleurs - $46.00
A must have and a first for the Terracotta collection, this is a tinted moisturizer. It captures the summer’s sun-kissed radiance and holds true on the sun from morning until night. The formula is a gel/cream mix, and it seems to melt into skin as it is applied.
