Have you noticed that bronzer compacts seem to be huge as in the physical size of the compact and bronzer inside? These two here measure almost 4” around! Is there a reason for the size? Please let me know if you know in the comments.

Since it is the time for bronzers right now, here are two new ones that I’ve been using.

RIMMEL LONDON Sun Shimmering Maxi Bronzer for Face and Body ($7.99 @ walgreens.com) from the Sunshimmer collection

JK JEMMA KIDD Show Stopper Water-Resistant Bronzer ($23 @ target.com)

I’m pretty partial to the drawing a number 3 to apply my bronzer but that might not work for everyone, so I took to youtube (this is one from my favorite EnKore here) to find out how other people apply it. And boy, there are a lot of tutorials!

I have super dark brown eyes and I’ve been into adding a pop of unexpected, but well blended, color into the lower lash line. It looks really cool and draws a little unexpected attention to the area. Here are two I’ve been rocking and they both happen to be one of the major colors of the season, turquoise!

RIMMEL LONDON Glam’Eyes Mono Eye Shadow in Posh Peck ($3.99 @ ulta.com)

SEPHORA Flashy Liner Waterproof in Flashy Blue ($8 @ sephora.com)

Stay tuned for an on-going feature on some major colors you should be rockin’ for spring.

It’s been a few since I’ve used liquid foundation as minerals have pretty much ruled my world for the past few months. I’m glad I gave this RiMMEL LONDON Stay Matte Clarifying Foundation ($6.99/1oz walgreens.com) a try because it really good. The matte formula contains what they call, SKINPURE Complex, which is a dash of salicylic acid and botanical extracts to help with pores and inflammation. I’m not sure if it’s this ingredient that makes it feel so smooth on my skin or something else but wow, I like it.
And the coverage? Pretty sheer. It seems to dry quicker than most so you gotta have a quick hand with this one! I know that foundation is a really personal choice but if you're in the marketing, give this one a whirl. Available in six shades.
