tarte park ave princess matte waterproof bronzer
My summer has been fairly sun-free, sadly. I think I got more sun in the spring than I have in this first month of summer. So I need a little help from some bronzers and self-tanners to keep me looking less dead. Tarte cosmetics has come out with a new bronzer, as a sister product to their popular park ave princess mineral powder. The Park Ave Princess Matte Waterproof Bronzer is a great contour maker.

Hourglass Illume Creme to Powder Bronzer Duo

NARS Bronzer Blush Duo in Laguna and Orgasm
My personal secret to perfectly glowing summer skin is in this simple to-the-point compact. NARS Bronzer Blush Duo in Laguna and Orgasm gives me just the right amount of color and helps me not look like I live in cold, foggy San Francisco (it was 58 today… some summer we are having!). But I don’t look over tanned like some so-cal beach babe either. I’d like to think of it as a healthy touch of sun…Read More
