My Thoughts Corner

Hi Guys,

Welcome to my second post of Summer Picks, and today my talk is about the bronzers. I’m a huge lover of wearing bronzer daily year round. In fact bronzer is my favorite beauty product. Not only it adds glow, but it also shapes and slims your face and my focus in this post is the bronzers that only adds warmth and glow to the skin.  And before going into the details, I have medium beige neutral toned skin and I prefer warmer bronzers.

My first pick is TheBalm Betty-Lou Manizer which is my favorite shiny bronzer. It is a warm golden brown shade with just the right amount of shimmer to give a natural healthy glow. The pigmentation is incredible and just little bit is needed and as of the formula it’s effortlessly blendable and lasts a great deal of time. It is simply marvelous.

My second bronzer is The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder in shade 05 dark golden matte. It is a natural matte bronze shade, perfect for an everyday sun kissed look.  The texture is soft with a velvety finish and blends easily. The color payoff though isn’t strong; however it is buildable.

My last but not least is the Catrice Mineral Sun Glow Bronzing Powder in shade 010 Golden Light. I love this mineral formula for not being completely matte or shimmery; it is just the right balance in between. The shade is a light natural tan without being overly done. The finish is matt and the pigmentation is not strong which allows an easy build up.

This is my round up summer bronzer! I hope you enjoyed reading!

Have a great day,

As I’m constantly trying out different products, though I don’t think I’m using as many as most of other bloggers, my skin care routine keep on changing. Hence, I decided to go for a “New in” series to highlight all of my newest products.

In this first post, I want to spotlight two products that I’m totally hooked on and I wonder why it took me too long to discover them. Anyway, today I’ll be talking about the Bioderma Hydrabio Serum and Vichy Normaderm Hyaluspot.

I got the Bioderma Hydrabio Serum in a subscription box last year and since then it’s been in my skin care drawer and don’t ask me why. I’ve tried a lot of moisturizers and serums throughout the years to find an end to one of my main skin concerns; dehydration and nothing seemed to be efficient the way the Bioderma one did. It is a fresh smelling gel that’s weightless and absorbs beautifully with no shine or greasiness. It works great on providing pure hydration leaving the skin plumped and supple. I’ve noticed a remarkable difference in my skin since the first week of use and believe I’m not exaggerating here. Another additional bonus of this serum is its clean and hygienic packaging. The Bioderma Hydrabio Serum assuredly got a permanent spot in my skin care shelf. I just love the results; my skin never felt the same in such a long time.

My second addition to my skin care is The Vichy Normaderm Hyaluspot, which I got last month as a remedy for my second main concern; scars and hyper pigmentation, to find out that it actually targets appearing or existing blemishes.  Thank god, I experience those only in that time of the month and I still can’t stand it. Vichy promises results after 48 hours from application. You might be saying Ok whatever but this little one, despite its pricey tag, works as claimed and the best of all, the blemish doesn’t leave a scar. I call it a skin care gem!! It comes in a form of odorless gel housed in a hygienic small plastic tube with a metal applicator to apply it directly on the blemish. The zit does not fade away immediately however it looks less inflamed and by the end of the second day, the pimple retracts and I’ve even test it out on a bump that was growing under the skin and I was impressed how it never emerged on top. I usually use it at night as like most of the spot treatments it dries out forming a film on the pimple. Considering the results I’m alright with that. I’m really happy to have this overnight pimple magical treatment stashed in my skin care.

Both products are very efficient and provide great results to the skin. They are certainly a must-try!!

Thank you for stopping by!
