Too Faced - Little Black Book of Bronzers

Too Faced is long time love of my mine. This "little" black book of bronzers just adds to my love for the brand. The truly have amazing products. The pigmentation is always top notch whether it is an eyeshadow or a bronzer.

I love their bronzers and buying this was actually a more affordable option instead of buying them individually. So I took the plunge and I'm glad I did.

If you have been intrigued by their bronzers and think you will end up needing/wanting all 8 of them, then definitely try and pick up this limited edition set.

This book is bulky (about 12x12 in size) but I can still see myself traveling with it. I actually plan to this week when I take a trip to the shore.

bronze

Friday Favorite!

It's self tanning time for me and I am always up for testing out new ones. I usually end up with the gradual self tanners because on my fair skin they are easier to control. I love going for spray tans (for special occasions) but for everyday it's just too expensive.

This week I decided to test out L'Oreal's Sublime Luminous Bronzer Lotion. This "lotion" is really more of a watery gel consistency and dries almost instantly which I found to be one of my favorite features. There is nothing worse than sitting there on the edge of your bed waiting for your tanning products to dry. Ugh.

My second favorite feature is the color and speed at which the color shows up on my skin. I found myself sporting golden color on the second day. I really think that everybody's skin reacts differently to self tanning products, especially the gradual products. So what works for some may not work for others. It's all chemistry, and trial and error.

And finally the glitter, yes I said glitter. I actually really love it. It lights up my skin and adds a sexy glow to the golden color left by the lotion. I know it's not for everyone (and I think they make a non glitter or non instant bronze version) but for those of you not turned off by some sparkle, go for it. You will truly be a golden goddess this summer!

a little inspiration for your Friday!

arganoil

Friday Favorite!

Josie Maran's Argan Oil really is a miracle worker. Summer begins tomorrow and her argan oil with bronzer is the perfect addition to add the right amount of glow to your skin. I love to use this when I am in a rush and need just that right amount of color and moisture added. It is also perfect for the beach, just don't forget to add your SPF!
