WnW Color Icon Bronzer SPF 15

Continuing on my hunt to find a good drug store bronzer! 

IMG_4153
One that has caught my eye is the Wet n Wild Coloricon Bronzer with Spf 15. I got the deepest brown there was as I am brown skinned. I got #739 Ticket to Brazil.

The size of the palette is really good for the price you pay. One thing I dislike is when you swipe your brush along it you get a lot of excess powder. I try to pay the excess powder to use for my other side of my face but you get excess powder doing that. I don't know about you but I am very resourceful and it sucks to have to throw out all the excess powder in the garbage but I would rather do that then have it make a mess in my bag.

As far as the color goes its a hint of golden brown. It comes off good on my skin tone but I notice that the color quickly fades. So you will def have to continually touch it up if you want to maintain your look all day long. 

Overall, while I like the color I don't think I would get another palette. I don't mind retouching it during the day once or so you def would have to do that with this palette. I also really don't like getting a lot of excess powder when applying so although it is extremely affordable I am going to have to pass next time. The Fergie bronzer is still my #1 to see my review click here

Price- $3.99
Where to find- any drug store such as CVS, Walgreens, Target, Walmart or

Almay Smart Shade Bronzer

I have been on the hunt for really good bronzer since summer is here!! Last week I tried the Fergie one from WnW and loved it and saw the new Almay Smart shade one the other day and had to give it a try

I chose #40 Sunkissed because it was the darkest of the other colors and so I thought it would look better with my skin tone.

Containing 3 different shades on the bronzer- a dark, medium brown and light color used for highlighting the combination of all 3 should give you a perfect bronzing look for all skin tones.

I wanted to see how the product looked on my inner arm which is lighter than my face and I will know how it will look on me. As you can see from my swatch you barely see the bronzer on me.

On my face- you can't even tell I have anything on. Okay it does but its very very light and you can see the glitter shimmer more than anything. Personally, I liked the WnW pigmentation way more than this. It looked more golden and really brought out my cheekbones. So sad, I really wanted to like this but unfortunately I am going to have to say Fail in my book. It probably will show up better on lighter skin but for some reason it doesn't show up on me. Plus the Fergie one is like 4 dollars cheaper and is bigger. But this is my personal opinion so its all up to you =)


Price-$9.99
Where to find- Any drug stores- CVS, Walgreens, Target, Walmart etc.

NYC Bronzers/Blushes

Summertime means bronzing time!

 Looking for a new blush or bronzer to go with your new tan?

 On a budget?

IMG_3675
Well let's check out 3 blushes and bronzers I recently got to review from NYC!

IMG_3676
The first bronzer I have for you today is the Sun 'n' bronze bronzing powder. It has a bunch of browns that will combine to create a shimmery summer glow to your face. There are 4 different shades in this collection and the one I got was Fire Island Tan that has a medium and medium dark brown with a hint of a gold shimmer to it. It comes out very golden brown on my skin tone and I feel like J-Lo with it lol! Other colors in this collection have more dramatic colors so if your looking for a color to make your cheekbones pop def check out the other shades.
 Price for this bronzer is ~$4.99

The second bronzer I got was the Sun 2 Sun bronzing powder in Terracotta tan. This collection only has two shades one with browns for darker skins like the one above and the other with browns for a lighter skin tone. You will see later on in my hand swatches but the lighter brown hardly shows up on my skintone but that brown looks absolutely amazing on my color. Very happy with how it looks.
Price ~$4.99

Not feeling like applying a bronzer? Prefer a little color to your cheeks instead? Well then the Color wheel Face powder is for you! I am not sure why it is called face powder bc it makes it seem like its a foundation but I def used the one I got as a blush bc its a pink color. Pink berry is what I got and I am not sure if it is an old color or one that will be coming out soon but it is not shown on the NYC website.  Pink berry has a bunch of purples and pinks that will combine to give you a natural blush color that is perfect to wear for work. There are four colors in the current collection and there is one that is called pink cheek glow that has pinks and brown color in it. It looks beautiful and when I get the chance I def want to try that one out.
Price ~$4.99
