My Thoughts Corner

Hi Everyone,

After naming my blush, lip and bronzer picks I’m back today to point out my summer highlighters. I must admit that I’m not the glowing pal here, however I love a subtle shimmer on my cheek bones and brow bone.  

My highlighters section is not huge but I have what I believe is enough to satisfy my cravings. My most used has to be the Mac Mineralize SkinFinish in Soft & Gentle. It is absolutely the ultimate signification of highlighter to me and as the name describes it; it is soft and gentle, perfect to accentuate that natural healthy glow. I have done earlier a whole review on it and you can check it here if you are interested.

My second highlighter of choice is the Benefit Watt’s Up, which is similar to the Mac Soft & Gentle in color but it is in cream formula. The shade is a peachy champagne that gives to right amount of glow to my skin… I’m really in love with this stick, in formula, color and everything in between as I’ve mentioned earlier in my review post here.

The third highlighter I’ve been enjoying this summer is the Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush Palette in Golden Sugar that I discovered not long ago. Technically it’s a blush palette as the name states; it is very versatile and includes a collection of bronzers, highlighters and blushes.  Nevertheless, except for the bronzing shade (Number 8) and the one matte blush (Number 3), I’ve been using the other 6 shades (Number 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7) for highlighting.  The formula of these is incredibly creamy and soft making them blend like a dream. The staying power is also amazing as all the shades are extremely pigmented and you only need a light hand with these. This palette is stunning and should be in everyone’s makeup bag, and it’s perfect for travelling as you have a bit of everything with a bonus of a large sized mirror.

As always, thank you for reading and stopping by!

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,
