NYC Sunny Bronzer

So I wanted to do a review on my favorite bronzer, which happens to be the NYC Sunny bronzer. This is only $3.00 so it's an amazing deal, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. It's not the darkest bronzer, nor the lightest, and I think the color is very buildable. So apply with a light hand and get a glowy look, and apply with a contour brush to contour and shape your face.

PACKAGING: I would say the packaging isn't great..it's plastic and tacky looking, and feels almost like a toy. However, when you open it, the bronzer is shaped like a sun which I love.
PROS: Buildable color, beautiful shade of brownish orange, fits most skin tones, amazing price.

CONS: PAckaging is a bit tacky. Sometimes to light for a contour.

The bronzer has a picture of a sun on it.
Also: Please excuse the length of my latest posts being short--I find that short, to the point, blog posts are easier to read.

So I recommend this bronzer to anyone looking for a fantastic quality bronzer for a cheap price!

Rate: 10/10

Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Stick in Marrakech

When I was at Sephora, I didn't only pick up my Beauty Insider gift. I also got a Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Stick. The color I got it in was Marrakech which is a beautiful nude color.

Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Stick
The color is Marrakech.
I love nude lipsticks, and it seems that I've tried out every one out there. I heard about Stila Long Wear Lip Sticks, and Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Sticks, and really wanted to try them out. The Stila Long Wear Lip Sticks are $20.00 at Sephora, and the Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Sticks are $18.00.

I got the Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Stick and absolutely love it. I think I may love it more than my Clarin's nude lipstick, which was $24.00!

 The only thing I'm worried about is it breaking or running out quickly.

Application:
This lip stick is easy to apply, and goes on like a thicker lip liner. After applied it tingles.

Appearance:
The Marrakech is a very beautiful matte nude color. 

I'm hoping to get more in other colors! This is a great product.

Mascara is one of those products that you can have a million of, and none of them will have the same effect. Some factors that will affect your mascara's application are the brush size, color (note: there is a difference between black and carbon black.), the mascara formula itself, and your lashes.
