Product VS - Bronzers

Last week I told you about my favorite bronzers. Today I thought I'd put all the bronzers I own head to head to see which one is the best. I currently own 5 bronzers but only put 4 in the favorites post.

I love the bronzers from my favorites post but there has to be one that is better than the best right? So which bronzer is the best? Urban Decay Beached Bronzer, Benefit Hoola Bronzer, Lorac Matte Bronzer, NYX Matte Bronzer or Rimmel London Natural Bronzer?

New Makeup Obsessions

I have some beauty products in my life that I am obsessing over recently and I need to talk about them. I'm doing a February favorites on the 27th and these will be included but I feel they needed a post of there own too.

I am currently loving these products so much that just putting them in my favorites with everything else isn't enough. I wanted to highlight these before I upload my favorites. I just love them so much I could explode!

So let's talk about some great products.

Yearly Favorites | 2016

The time has come. We are almost 2 and half weeks into 2017. I have finally collected all my favorites of 2016 and I'm ready to write my 2016 favorites!

This might be a long one. I have a ton of life favorites and quite a few beauty ones too. This is a whole year of favorites after all. Not just a small amount from just one month.

So here are the things I loved in 2016!

Monthly Favorites | July 2016

I can't believe it's August already. This year is going by in such a blur. I feel like July went by so fast I barely got time to even try things to favorite. This year is going to fast I hope it slows down in the fall months so I can really enjoy it. I may have mentioned it 2 or three times or 100 but I love fall. It's my favorite time of year! It's the perfect time of year. 

OK I'm rambling. Let's get to my favorites.

Monthly Favorites | February 2016

It’s time again for monthly favorites! I can’t believe it’s March already! February went but so fast. I’m so glad it’s finally getting warmer. On some days anyway, one day it’s 55 the next it’s 20.

I’m so happy the days are finally getting long too. Sunsets are my favorite thing to take photos of and when it gets dark at 4:30 I can never catch the sunset. I was able to get some beautiful sunset shots in late February.

So let’s get into my favorite things from this month.

Benefit Cosmetics Dew the Hoola Liquid Bronzer | Review

Benefit Dew the Hoola Liquid Bronzer

Benefit says this bronzer has a soft-matte finish and blends seamlessly. It's promised to give a shimmerless, sheer, natural look.

"This liquid bronzer gives your face a year-round glow without the gleam. The smoothing effects and lightweight texture melt in for a shimmerless, natural look that’s so sheer, it’ll have you saying hoola-la!"
