Sun-kissed Look with Loreal Hip Bronzing Powder

There something about bronzer that really drives me to collect it. I'm a fair-medium skin tone and getting the right bronzer for my skin is a bit of a challenge. Most of my bronzer serve me differently. Mostly have high reviews. As for this one, I've always been wanting to try NARS Laguna. Read tons of review about it but for the price I'm afraid I can't cave in. That's how I stumble upon this product meet - "Loreal Hip Bronzing Powder in Blessed"

Isn't this lovely? Perfect for sun-kissed look. This really does it all.  It does give a multi-dimensional glow, without looking orange or dirty. It's perfect for the pale girls out there like myself. Shade may look dark in pan but is pretty sheer on, adds a nice sun kissed glow to your face.  I'm not sure if it's really at par with NARS Laguna, but the shade and effect of this bronzer is amazing! The texture is so smooth, it's blendable, and buildable. But make sure to apply with a light hand because this powder is highly pigmented. One of the rules for pigmented product is to always apply thinly then build the color according to you liking.

The packaging is adorable with the mirror and the brush~ The brush might not be great quality but it works wonderfully sculpting my cheeks. It's too bad it's discontinued. If you can get a hand of this baby, try checking it out.

Loreal True Match Liquid Foundation Review

My Mother-in-Law got me this one from the US. I've always been wanting to try this one out but didnt get around to. She got me the Sun Beige shade because I want to sport a tan look. I'm not a fan of face tanners so I decided to get 3-4 shades darker than my skin tone.

As for the Pros:
- Formulation is ok, its blendable and buildable
- SPF 17
- It feels light
- Wide range of shades

As for the Cons:
- Not long wearing
- Oil Control is ok, I still need to blot a lot

This product is still worth checking out because it still gave me my most natural tan face look. I think the huge drawback for this is that its way over price here in the Philippines. I think this retails around P1k up + in the market. I don't think I'll shell that kind of money for a drugstore brand. Luckily I got mine for free ;-)

My Collection "Liquid Foundation"

Just sharing with you guys… My small collection of liquid foundation…I love liquid foundation because I can play with it. It’s very flexible. I can mix my illuminators or pigments for that added glow. Even though it’s very humid in our country I can still make my foundation work for me.

Revlon ColorStay SPF 6 in Sand Beige – heavy coverage

Maybelline Angelfit in Buff – medium coverage

Loreal True Match in Sunny Beige – natural tan coverage

SkinFood BB Cream in shade No. 1 – light and dewy coverage

I can’t think of one particular brand that I’m very fond of, all of my liquid foundation serve me differently. Most of my collections are my favourites ;-).

Bronzer Collection

My small collection of bronzer for my "tanning mood"... ;-) some are from swaps, eBay and pasalubong... My favourite from these collection are NARS Multiple in Palm Beach and Bourjois... I’m having a hard time picking out which one is the best because their both pretty on their own.
