Beauty Brawl '17: Bronzer

Today is the last day of the Beauty Brawl. I really hope you enjoyed it and if you read every day thank you! We all know I am bad about posting reviews so it's a nice challenge for me to post every day for ten days. Today we are reviewing bronzers and I chose ColourPop's Super Shock Cheek in Skinny Dip. This color was discontinued because they added the pressed powders so I am happy I was able to get it.

• Product - 90
• Packaging - 90
• Price - 100

I don't own a lot of bronzer it's hard to find a shade that works with my skin tone, but this bronzer is really nice. It's like a beautiful summer glow instead of an Oompa Loompa. It's the same type of formula as their super shock eyeshadows so it feels amazing! Now the foundation I am currently using is matte so it doesn't work as well. I am going to get a BB cream because I think that would be perfect! I think this type of bronzer is perfect for days when you don't want a lot of makeup on and just want some warmth in your face. 

I think the packaging is nice. It's a twist off cap and since it's the super shock formula you really have to make sure it is on tight so the formula doesn't dry out. It was $8 so it's budget friendly and better than most drugstore bronzers I've tried. I should mention it's lighter than it appears in the picture.

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Bronzer

Welcome to day four of the Beauty Brawl! We are reviewing bronzers today. I've never been crazy about bronzer because I've always been pale so nothing I tried looked right on me. So let's see how this bronzer works for me!

Product  90
Packaging  80
Price  90

I got this sample in my March ipsy bag. I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first. It can be used in the TEMPTU airbrush system, with fingertips, or a brush. The packaging is simple but I like it. The first time I tried it I used my Real Techniques expert face brush and I think it looked pretty good. Today I used my fingers to blend it and I really like the way it looks. 

I started tanning a couple of weeks ago so right now I think the color is just right for me. Just add a little bit of product and blend it out. If you need more you can layer it. I applied some to my hand and I can't stop looking at it and loving how natural it looks. 

The sample I got was .25 fl. oz. the full size is 1 fl. oz. A little bit goes a long way so I will probably have this sample for a while. The full size costs $29.50 and I think that is a reasonable price. I would like to try their blush it looked like they had some really beautiful colors. You can purchase the bronzer here.

March 2016 ipsy glambag review

Hello Everyone! It's time for my ipsy review! When I was checking out their Instagram seeing all the cool things that could be in my bag I got really excited. Well I didn't get any of the things I wanted to try so I was REALLY disappointed. I had to remind myself that I might be pleasantly surprised by some of the items. I loved the bag design this month I thought it was perfect for March.

Aphrodite Skin Care - Replenishing Eye Cream  $27.99 

I wasn't thrilled about this product. I already got two full sized eye creams for the blog which will take me a while to use so I obviously didn't need more. It does seem like a good product  though. It didn't irritate my skin and it felt nice on the skin. I will probably just give this to someone.

Vera Mona - Lotus Eyeshadow in Clover  palette  

This eyeshadow is full size and it normally comes in a palette. The link is above if you want to check it out. When I first looked at it I wasn't thrilled but once I swatched it I thought it was a really pretty color. It's very creamy and it has good pigmentation. Just make sure you use a good eye primer. 

 

 

Margaret Dabbs London - Super Shiner Buffer  £7.00

I was not happy about getting this product. I don't use nail buffers. There were so many products I would have loved to try. 

NYX Cosmetics - Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick $7

I was disappointed that I wasn't getting Colour Pop but I had been wanting to try this liquid lipstick since it came out. I got the shade pink lust. When I first saw it I was kind of like yikes that will look so bad on me. Once I put it on I was surprised I didn't hate it. I have to channel my inner P!nk but its definitely a fun color to rock this summer! I actually went to Target to pick up another in the shade Tea & Cookies.

TEMPTU - Warm Glow Bronzer  $35

I'm not sure how I feel about this bronzer. I'm not used to using bronzer because I have trouble finding the right shade. The shade does seem to work for me (In the picture below I didn't blend it out very well.) Liquid bronzer just seems really messy to me. But it did blend well and the color did look good. I just don't care for all the shimmer in it. 

So that was my March 2016 ipsy glam bag. Two products I really liked, one that is ok, and two that I wasn't happy with. You just have to remember not every bag will be amazing. I have seen my April glam bag sneek peek and can I just say it looks good! If you want to start getting an ipsy glam bag you can use my link!
