Summer shimmer: Get your glow on and make the most of the good weather

You wait ages for a new beauty launch, then stacks of them come along at once. To help you sort the hot buys from the bye-byes, we thought we’d try five of the most exciting summer products and let you know how we got on.

1 Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact in Beach GBP 29.50 *** (www.bobbibrown.co.uk)

“This compact is elegant, though its size is not particularly handbag-friendly. There’s a nice big mirror, but no brush for application. The powder itself gives an amazing shimmer but is definitely more suited to already-sunkissed skin. The graduating bricks of colour let you build up the shade as your tan develops – bring on the sun.”

PAM MOFFAT

2 Philosophy Field of Flowers Perfumed Body Spritz GBP 18 **** (www.philosophy.com)

“One tiny spray of this product and you’re slap-bang in the middle of a summer flower meadow. It is a pretty full-on olfactory experience, but really blooming marvellous if florals are your bag.”

CAT THOMSON

3 L’Occitane Verbena Moisturising Body Gel GBP 14 **** (www.loccitane.com)

“L’Occitane has added this new product to its popular Verbena fragranced range and it is out just in time for summer. When it’s far too hot for a rich body moisturiser, you can switch to this light and refreshing gel. I loved the fresh scent which lingered on the skin throughout the day
