Bronzers, blushes,highlighters oh my!



Hello again lovely’s,

I was asked to recommend my favorite bronzer and blush, so I decided to take to my blog and break it down. I wanted to share with you guys my favorite bronzer both department and the ever affordable drugstore bronzer. I will also share my favorite blush. I wanted to share a neat little find I came across that has saved me a few bucks! So lets get started, I am sure you may have heard of NARS well if you haven’t its another department brand you can find their products in Sephora or online I will provide the link for Sephora as well as other site where you can find the products I will be mentioning. So NARS carries a very popular bronzer called Laguna this is a very nice  sheer light brown bronzer it works very well for contouring, I would love to pair this with their blush called orgasm very interesting name I know! It is a very beautiful combo. NARS is actually I believe for a limited time selling a combo of both for I believe 39 dollars now you can really beat that it is usually 27 just for the blush so if you think about as an investment you will surely be pleased with the product! So the blush like I mentioned is called Orgasm and it is this GORGEOUS pinky-peach blush and subtly highlights with accents of golden shimmer this color really compliments any skin tone. I love this product and I love the Laguna and orgasm combo and I was thrilled to see that they actually combined these two as a duo. Well here is the best part of all this I found this product by e.l.f (eyes, lips, face) at target that is a very similar combination for NARS and its well lets just say waaaaaay cheaper. If you haven’t heard of e.l.f then you are in for a nice treat, e.l.f carried wonderful products that are so good and very pigmented and the best part super cheap their regular line is 1.00 for everything I am not kidding! Awesome stuff! And for their studio line is 3.00! Talk about a good saving right?!? Well if you don’t have the buck to go get NARS, elf has a very good duo that gives you the opportunity to look like it is a  very expressive look and who does not like to save a buck here and there?!? If you want to splurge on the NARS your in for a treat because their product is WONDERFUL, if you want to try it out before making a big spend then I would suggest e.l.f and like I mentioned they carry their line in the cosmetic isle of Target! Now I couldn’t write a post with out mentioning my ever so faithful MAC I love their bronzer I especially love using their redefined gold pressed powder. I love this product I will use it as my bronzer or also as my blush on days I want to look golden. I love all MAC anything I think you kind know that by now. Well I love their blushes I use Dolly mix or Nuance daily I am not sure if MAC is still caring their Nuance blush but I love it! It’s a perfect coral pinkish color! Now back to ELF I have two blushes I really like from their line one is called pink passion and candid coral both shades I would say work well all year around not just summer time, I mean who doesn’t want to glow in the winter time? I know I love the Dewey look year around! So for application I want to share with you the “rule” I love to use for application I call it 3 C’s. little C medium C big C:

Little C- area around right under eyebrow and right above the apples of your cheek I use for my Highlighter. Medium C- a little above brow and right on you cheek bones I apply my blush. Big C- above the blush and below my cheek bones I apply my bronzer for some contouring, now I don’t ALWAYS use bronzer but when I do that is what I like to do.

Sun Kissed...


Sun kissed

Hello there beauty's

this weeks color of the week is very BRIGHT and a color that stands out! i chose  to wear Sally Hansen Sun Kissed from their Xtreme wear line. I have been seeking an orange color that would suit my skin tone well and i stumbled across this color at Target and ON SALE so why not!?! i love a good deal! My girlfriend is very fair skin and this color suited her well too so I'm thinking this color works well for all skin types. I recently was able to hit the beach and got some much needed color in my life well this color completely compliments my new tan! i am in love with this color and wanted to update you guys on the color of the week.... hope you all enjoyed short and sweet! let your self try something new and go bright after all this gorgeous weather i think is perfect for some sun kissed!
