Just Launched: Go for the Gold

Everything about Lorac's Touch Me, Tease Me, Tantalize Me collection (new for Summer 2011) has me wishing for a for a seasonal fast-forward button - from the rich, golden hues of the Baked Eyeshadows to the gilded makeup case that houses limited-edition products.

If you're looking for a gorgeous glow without a drastic skin color change, the selfTANtalizer Body Bronzing Gradual Self-Tanner ($34) gives you the immediate color of body makeup with the long lasting tan of a self-tanner. It's really easy to apply and has the most amazing chocolate scent.

Jet-setting gals are going to love the limited-edition TANtalEYES Palette ($36), which features four beautiful, shimmery shades of high-pigment Baked Eyeshadows and comes with a travel-sized TANtalizer Body Bronzing Illuminizer, a non-streaking body makeup that gives you an extra boost of sun-free color. What I love most about these shadows is how long they last - perfect for someone who prefers not to touch up throughout the day.

The limited-edition Hot Off the Red Carpet Collection ($36) has everything you need to complete an ultimate bronzed goddess look. It comes with two Baked Eyeshadow duos in exclusive shades (I adore the turquoise/gold combo), a Baked Bronzer for golden cheeks and a Multiplex 3D lipgloss. All these red carpet essentials are housed in a sparkly gold bag that can double as a fancy clutch for a night out.

Lorac has definitely given us a chance to sparkle in the summer. Now all we need is the weather to warm up!
