This Week's Beauty Hits and Misses

Summer Scenting
Summer arrived early this week both in terms of the weather and the fragrance! We’ve got new scents from YSL, Stella McCartney, Calvin Klein and more to see you through until the end of the season.

Gone are the days when bronzer only came in one shade. Today there’s a whole host of hues for all skin tones and types, including this brand new release from Guerlain: the four shade strong Terracotta Sheer Bronzing Powder.
