The OG Youtube community days would consistently mention/use Nars, especially, the Laguna bronzer. It has taken me years to finally have my hands on the most iconic bronzer. As I have said before, It's taken me a long time to properly incorporate bronzer in my makeup routine. Being a pale girly, my go to is using blush to add color to my face. But I have come a long way and now I am no longer afraid of using it, however, I still very much use a light hand when applying it.  Rating: I'm giving this iconic bronzer 4 stars on 5! ...

Product Summary: Full coverage face bronzer delivers a natural looking bronze to fake a vacay glow. Vegan, talc-free and waterproof formula. The silky, lightweight powder instantly evens skin tone. Covers and blurs the look of imperfections. Cost: $65  ***Cruelty Free*** This bronzer has been a staple for years and for very good reason. This bronzer has stormed the beauty community and hasn't really left. Bronzers have clearly not been my favourite over the years but I have been improving and I have somewhat grown fond of them. It definitely took me a while to figure out the proper way to use them without looking like a dirty sewer rat.  This bronzer is so damn pigmented! Even though it is pigmented, you can definitely layer it on your skin. I love how buildable it is as long as you use a light hand. It's safe to say that this bronzer will last me quite a while before I even come close to seeing pan.  This bronzer is such a lovely shade and it compliment my complexion. I ...

 Product Summary:  The multi-tonal bronzer palette highlights skin and softly contours cheeks for an instantly defined glow. I have the shade light bronze. Original price is $16.99 but got it on sale for $4.  ***not cruelty free*** I have been trying to venture into the world of bronzers and with how cheap this one is. I figured I might as well try it. This bronzer was not what I was expecting at all. I thought it would be too dark or difficult to work with but this has been one of the easiest products ever! All you need to do is swirl your brush and apply it on the cheekbones. It’s that simple!  It makes my cheeks so beautiful and glowy. On my skin ton it appears like a nude blush with a highlighter top. And what’s great about it is that I can use it during the winter or summer season.  Rating: 5 stars on 5!  This shall be a short review. I have absolutely no complaints other than I wish it was cruelty free. But otherwise it was a great product, easy to us...

Product summary: Weightless bronzer delivers a complexion boosting lit from within glow. Perfect palette of bronze shades creates the most natural, healthy bronze glow. Look flawless without looking made up! Perfecting formulas deliver a beautiful bare skin effect and skin-glowing finish. Airy formulas are infused with a natural extract that allows skin to breathe as if completely in the nude! 100% perfecting nude pigments allow skin's natural radiance to shine through. Cost: $15.99 but I got it on sale for half off. ***Cruelty free*** As a extremely pale woman with very little pigmentation I have to be careful when using bronzer because it can look bad very quickly, especially, if I don't use a light hand. The bronzer is a gorgeous color and very shimmery. However, it pulls more orange on my skin than anything else (you can see from the above picture). So instead I use this more as a blush since it's very similar to a lot of peachy coloured blushes that I use.  I use a ver...

Product Summary: This limited edition palette was in collaboration with Jean-Michel Basquiat. If you're like me then you have no idea who this Jean-Michel guy is and why he teamed up with Urban Decay. Luckily, the packaging gave me a bit of insight on who this guy is. Essentially, he rose to fame in the 80's art scene in New York City and was the pioneer of he neo-expressionist movement. The packaging is a mini reproduction of Basquiat's artworks. This limited edition blush palette holds four shades of blush, bronzer and highlighter. (3 shades are supposed to be new but I don't know the Urban Decay line enough to know which 3 are new). Once you finish using this palette you can frame it on your wall like artwork.  Normally, I would be able to give you a price point on this product and whether it is cruelty free or not. Unfortunately, this is a limited edition product meaning it is only available for a limited amount of time. If it was a permanent item I would ...

So I bought this Real Techniques complexion sponge on the whim because I always saw it at Walmart and I was always intrigued by it and by other sponges as well. At the time I had extra change in my wallet and thought "what the heck? Why not?" And after using this sponge for a few weeks I can genuinely say that it is a miracle sponge! Already my complexion alone is overall quite good but added with the miracle sponge. Umm yeah I think I'm going to buy 20 more of these. Absolutely loved this sponge that can do many things. You can apply foundation, concealer, setting powder, cream blush, and liquid bronzer with this sponge. Which I paid under $10 for this beautifully diversified beauty sponge. I would give this sponge 5 stars on 5 for its diversity in uses and for making my makeup looking flawless. I can practically do my whole face makeup using just this sponge. It took me a while to truly understand how to use this tool. And the one point of advice I could give ...
