Bronzer time...

Are you ready for summer? I know I am. I seriously can't wait for summer, mainly because I get to wear loads and loads bronzers. I know. I love bronzers, they are definitely a must have for me for the summer time, well all year round really. 

I have lots bronzers from drug store to highend but I always come back to these 3. They are just my all time favorites. Full stop. 

First up Chanel. Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel is hands down the best cream bronzer that I have ever come across. 

That's right I've hit pan so you can tell how much I've loved this bronzer.  It is a cream to powder  bronzer, non sticky, non greasy, great for all skin types. One shade suits everyone. How cool is that?! Although people who have very pale skins must be light handed with it or you'll end up looking quite orangey. 

You can obviously use it as a normal bronzer or use it to contour. It is also great to use it as a base before your foundation for that bronzing goodness tanned look. It's very light. You won't feel a thing when you put it on, and it smells lovely too. The smell is not that strong and it goes away once you put it on so it is not a major problem for those of you who don't like scented makeup. 

It's got some iridescence to it nothing glittery or shimmery, very subtle on the face. Love love love! The only con for me is that it contains paraben which I don't really like but if it's not an issue for you then this might be the "perfect" bronzer. It cost me €40 from my local makeup store but it contains 30g of product, that's quite a lot to be honest. I got this like a year ago and look how much I still have it left. You do the math. Oh by the way I use my Zoeva Luxe Sheer Cheek Brush. for a sheer wash of color.

Guerlain does the best job when it comes to bronzers. There's just something about them, sheer but pigmented enough, right amount of shimmers, the gorgeous scent, the packaging, the everything... I love Guerlain bronzers. Ahhh I just love them. I wanna buy them all if I have the money. The one I own is the Terracotta Light Sheer  Bronzing Powder in the shade 04 Sun Blondes.

You may have heard me talking about this bronzer in my "Top 5 Blusher" blogpost. If you haven't then definitely check it out for more detailed info. It's the perfect bronzer for the summer time to give you the perfect tanned color and the glow. I use my Real Techniques Blush Brush (but any fluffy brush will do) swirl all the colors then apply on my cheeks, my hairline and a little on my nose. 

Last but not least, the Nars Laguna Bronzer. You just can't go wrong with it. 

It's an everyday bronzer in my opinion, not too matte, not too shimmery. I got the Duo, but you can buy it separately. I am gonna save my breath on this one cuz so many beauty gurus have already talked about it. One of my favorite beauty gurus, Anna from Viviannadoesmakeup has so many videos featuring this lovely bronzer and here is one so make sure you check it out. She is amazing. 

So there you have it, my all time favorite bronzers. Summer is coming guys so bronze it up! 

Take care!

My Top 5 Blushers

Into blushers? I've got 5 for you!

When it comes to choose the "perfect" blusher, I tend to go for something more on the coral, tanned/mauvey, and peachier side, as you can see here. Warm toned blushers just suit me more than some cool toned pinky shades. I am a NC 15-20 with slight yellow undertoned complexion in case you are wondering.

Let's get right into it shall we?! I know that alot of you beauty junkies out there like myself are into blushers. I just love to buy blushers even though I know I already have like 10 different corals in my collection. That's just what I do.

First up, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure. This is easily one of my favourite blushers if not THE favourite in my collection. This shade looks so flattering on me.  It's a soft plum fused with Mood Light Ambient Lighting Powder to brighten the complexion. It is so pretty. I use this blusher almost everyday and I think that says alot cuz I do have loads blushers believe me. I use my Real Techniques Blush Brush to apply on my cheeks and be careful as this stuff is seriously pigmented in my opinion. I sometimes even use this as a "bronzer" because of the shade and it works pretty well. Love love love it!

Ok now I know what you all think. This is a bronzer. Aren't we talking about blushers?! Yes we are, but in my opinion this is the perfect blusher/bronzer/highlighter all in one. Seriously it is gorgeous, and easy, on those lazy days when you can't be bothered to put on bronzer then blusher then highlighter, just apply this and you are good to go! I have the shade in 04 Sun Blondes, oh and did I say this is from Guerlain? I think Guerlain does the best bronzers/blushers in my opinion, I also am dying to try the four seasons bronzer/blusher. I have to say that if you are not a fan of shimmers then this is not for you as it does contain shimmers, but I think look great on the cheeks you don't even need a highlighter. Can I just take a moment and say how gorgeous it smells!!! Ahh I need take another sniff. 

I just have to mention Nars Blushers because they definitely know what they are doing when it comes to blushes. Nars do some of the best blushers, and this Orgasm is my favourite. This is a duo, it also comes with my fav bronzer which is Laguna, we'll get into bronzers some other time. I got it from sephora.com I won't ramble too much as we all know Orgasm is a peachy pink shade with some gold shimmers running through it. It's gorgeous. 

If you haven't tried Laura Geller Blushers then you should definitely do so cuz they are just to die for. I have the shade in Mauve Mocha Latte and it is one of their baked impressions blushes. I got mine from qvc uk and it's actually part of a kit but I don't think qvc still has it. You can however go to Laura Geller website to purchase it separately. This is a baked blusher which handmade under terracotta pan and baked for 24 hours in Italy. The quality of this blusher is incredible. It's sheer but buildable. It is also paraben and mineral oil free so yeah! It's matte and sometimes I use it as a bronzer and it works pretty well as this shade is a warm terracotta mauve pink, but a little less pink I should say.

Lastly, Sugarbomb from Benefit Cosmetics.I got this like a year ago and look how much I still have it left. It never finishes. I love this one cuz it is so subtle on the cheeks and gives you a nice glow as well. It's got peachy, pinky, soft plum shades in there and all you have to do is swirln them together and apply. You can of course choose the shade you want and apply to your cheeks, and that's the beauty of this blusher. I sometimes even use it as eyeshadows why not?! Ohh and it smells so good.
