Each limited-edition palette contains five summer vibe colors, much like playlists full of favorite summer tunes you’d never leave home without. Designed to be enjoyed creatively, the colors can be applied as recommended, or “shuffled” to suit your mood, adorning both eyes and cheeks exactly as you wish.
Each palette contains four eyeshadow colors and one blush color. The eyeshadows employ a highly sheer product base for superior color intensity and pronounced pearlescent shimmer. The blush colors are formulated for soft and gauzy looking results.
The Summer Palette come in an adorable, limited-edition Paul & Joe cat box and two blush brushes and eyeshadow sponge applicators are included. Japanese-made quality.
The Paul & Joe 001 shades include: Orange Beige, Soleil Orange, Soft Pink, Mint Green eyeshadows and Light Pink blush.
The colors of the palette are perfect for creating summertime looks. While each of the finely milled, and creamy to the touch, eyeshadows offer buildable coverage, they are intentionally more sheer. Each of the gorgeous eyeshadow colors boast an ethereal pearlescent shimmer. The beautiful blush, which is a soft pink, is finely milled, creamy to the touch, and it offers the perfect soft and lit-from-within pink flush.
Left to Right: Orange Beige Eyeshadow, Soleil Orange Eyeshadow, Light Pink Blush, Mint Green Eyeshadow and Soft Pink Eyeshadow.

As you know, I am so smitten with my recent purchases of Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Swish & Pop Blusher in Love Glow and Love is the Drug (Reviewed HERE) that I was prompted to track down and purchase the much raved about Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Blush Glow Light to Medium. While I do not tend to reach for bronzers often, the one featured in this duo is so beautiful that I had to have it. I have cool-toned skin, and therefore I avoid orange-hued bronzers, and those with the tendency to oxidize, and therefore I felt reasonably certain that this one would work for my skin.
Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Blush Glow Light to Medium two ultra-finely milled powders that feel silky-smooth, and creamy, to the touch. Both glide across the skin effortlessly, deposit color evenly, and they neither emphasize pores, nor do they settle into fine lines.
The neutral, and very flattering, bronzer is a skin-flattering light tan shade that is punctuated by luminous golden pearl that gives the complexion an ethereal glow. It offers sheer to buildable coverage, and can be used as a bronzer and a contour shade. I am pleased to say that it remains true-to-color, and never oxidized on my skin.
The blush, which is a very flattering neutral soft pink, has the perfect amount of golden pearl for a glowing, lit-from within, flush that is so beautiful on the skin. The color is a fairly close match for Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Swish & Pop Blusher in Love is the Drug, and therefore if you are trying to select one or the other, then Filmstar Bronze & Blush Glow Light to Medium should be your choice if you want a bronzer too, otherwise save yourself some money and purchase Love is the Drug.
The palette, which includes its own brush, is the perfect size for travel, and the elegant Deco-inspired palette is pretty enough to leave out on your vanity. The small brush, which appears to have synthetic bristles, has a short handle and a full size head, and works perfectly with the palette.
According to Charlotte Tilbury,
Darlings, my Filmstar Bronze & Blush Glow combines the iconic sculpt shade to contour your features for a fabulous red carpet ready framework and a soft pink blush with finely crushed pearls for a limitless glow. The Mini Artistry Blush Brush comes with this bronzer & blusher palette to make application a breeze.
Features:
• Create sculpted killer cheekbones with a subtle radiant blush to enliven your complexion.
•The bronzer is a blend of super flattering pearls and pigments to help naturally contour your face, and mimic that all over sun-kissed skin.
Directions: To use, start by applying the Sculpt color to the areas you want to sculpt and define: the hollows of your cheeks, temples, jawline, sides & tip of your nose. To apply the blusher, dip the Mini Artistry Blush Brush in the centre of the blush shade and tap off the excess. Apply to the apples of your cheeks to make them pop and glow. Blend the colors seamlessly together, using circular motions with your brush.
Charlotte’s Tip: Use this bronzer & blusher palette with the Wonderglow face primer to illuminate your complexion for a true red carpet look.
