July Favorites and a Return

Hello ladies... boring blog today. I only have two favorites for the month of July. It's only because I'm carrying over things from June and i only have two things to add and one to take away. What I'm adding is Origins Youthtopia in #4, and the blusher of the month has been Nars Deep Throat. What is being revoked is Tarte's Waterproof Matte Bronzer in Park Ave. Princess. I had high hopes for this, but i found through frequent usage it had a film across the top layer. Which you usually find with cheaper cosmetics that like to dupe you into thinking a product is a certain way, but then you take it home had use it and the top part rubs off and your're left with the gritty underneath. I was pretty put off by that especially from this company, and on a $30 product. So it has been replaced. I went to Sephora and reviewed my bronzer choices, Park Ave Princess the original doesn't have a faux top which is good, it does also have a lovely color, but its too shimmery. Nars Laguna, too shimmery too. Benefit Hoola, nice neutral matte will prolly purchase in the future:) Dior, too reddish. Guerlain, not the right shade. Then I saw it...YSL Golden Sand Bronzer my newest love;) Its a lovely golden shade, really soft and smooth to the touch, a subtle gorgeous shimmer, easily bendable, and buildable. I'm really taking a liking to more luxorious cosmetics. Why not? I love it and it really suits me, though its going to hurt my pocketbook. But a little bit at a time wont hurt anything:)

Bronze Baby!! Park Avenue Princess:)

I have been on the hunt for the perfect bronze to complement my skin tone and is easy to work with. Well when i went into Sephora to purchase Tarte's Park Avenue Princess i was surprised to find out that they have a new formulation - Matte Waterproof!!! Oh decisions decisions.... Should i get the matte or the sparkly? Well matte won me over just because its more versatile if i want shimmer i can use a MSF. I have been using it and loving it everyday. This is my Holy Grail bronzer for sure. I use it to contour and as an all over bronzer. To apply it with a light hand i have a Mac 187se. And i adore the packaging!!!
