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…

I’ve never been a fan of cream blushes, not to mention cream bronzers. They are just too darn hard to apply evenly and end up looking a mess. But this gorgeous compact from Hourglass Cosmetics came in the mail and just one look at that sexy compact and I had to try it out. Now I can’t get enough! The Hourglass Illume Creme to Powder Bronzer Duo in Sunset has a great bronzer…

Benefit’s newest powder is HOT HOT HOT… I guess. One Hot Minute is a good loose powder bronzer. Its meant to be lightly dusted all over, head to toe, for a subtle bronze and slight glow.

The other day I finally ran out of the Laguna side of my NARS Orgasm/Laguna Blush/Bronzer duo (only took 1.5 years of using it every day!). Instead of purchasing a new one, I dug into my makeup box to find another option. Out popped Stila’s Sun Bronzing Powder with SPF 15. I think I bought this awhile ago, either on recommendation or on a whim at Sephora, but regardless I never used it…

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…
