I've been lusting after this bronzer for a while now, it doesn't look scarily red/orange, nor does it look too dark. I'd heard many people on the internet talk about this product do when I was feeling spendy in Boots the other day I had to pick it up.
One one side is a dark, matte brown and on the other side is a lighter more shimmery brown. When mixed together they create a nice golden tone and it really brightens up my skin tone. I've been on the search for a natural looking bronzer, and I think I found it. When you first open up the product it has a light pink shimmer on the engraving, however this is gone after the first use and isn't too shimmery afterwards.
I'd previously brought the Body Shop Honey Bronzer in fair and found that it was slightly too light for me to have any effect on my skin tone, I also found it a bit too powdery (If that's even a thing I don't know.) I felt it sat on top of my skin too much and didn't blend as well. This is one of the products I regret buying. I may throw it away to be honest as it's now been replaced.
The offering from Soap and Glory is the opposite. With the darker matte shade a can use it as a slight contour to contour my cheek bones out a bit and add some definition to my little moon face. or I can add a subtle warmth to my skin with the lighter shade, and use it on my temples to add a sun kissed look.
I can see myself using this product daily, along with a nice blush to add some colour to my cheeks, and a little pop of highlighter on my cheekbones, Summer sorted!
Have you tried this bronzer from Soap and Glory? It would seem I have an ever growing collection from their make up range.
The bronzer is £11 from Boots and is currently on 3 for 2 here.
Apparently I was feeling rather spendy today.
I found myself at boots browsing the Benefit counter and decided to pick up the 'Rockateur' Blusher. I've had my eye on this blusher for a while now. I don't own anything like this. I don't love the packaging but the product inside is gorgeous. When you first open the packaging it's covered in pink holograhpic glitter. After one use this is gone and your left with a dusky rose blush with a hint of brown to it. It gives a natural colour to the face and I think it would suit a lot of different skin tones. It has a nice inner glow look to it too which I love with blushers.
As I'd already fulfilled part of my forever growing wish list I thought I may as well add some more, much lusted after products to my basket. In went Soap and Glory's 'Solar Powder' and 'DIY Brow Bar.'
The brow kit contains a brown and blonde powder, a wax and an under arch highlight. I haven't given this product a proper road test yet, so keep an eye out for a full review!
The 'solar powder' is a beautiful bronzer with two shades. With summer on it's way I wanted to brighten my look up and add a sun kissed glow to the skin. I'm yet to try this out yet either but I've heard great things from other blogs about it, so I'm excited to give this a try as it doesn't look too dark or too orange.
Barry M have got some gorgeous new shades in their 'speedy' range. I brought two shades on a previous jaunt in 'In a Heart Beat' a beautiful toned down neon pink, 'Road Rage' a dupe for Essie - Mint Candy Apple and 'Eat My Dust' a gorgeous pastel purple/blue. I didn't find they dry any quicker than their standard polishes...but the colours are gorgeous and ready for spring in a range of gorgeous pastels.
Lastly I brought the Garnier Micellar cleansing water. I've heard a few things about this and was running low on my normal cleanser. I'm excited to try this to use this as a first cleanse to get rid of my make up before doing a proper cleanse. I always find eye make up the worse to remove and this claims to remove really easily.
Have you brought anything recently from Boot's or the drugstore?
Any recommendations?
