What I know about this crema bronzer: It’s got a great slip to it, feels like a gel, buffs in pretty well and does not dry down… I would set it with a hint of bronzing powder for longevity.

This powder in billed as a light-as-air, talc-free finishing powder blurs the look of pores and fine lines, and gives you a soft-focus, photo-ready effect while setting your makeup. Available in four finishes. I purchased Illuminating (subtly brightening dewy finish).

What I learned from this swatch: Never EVER use this much product. You end up looking like an extra in the Twilight movie! I could see just how sparkly it was and then my hubby turned the over head light on and poof instant diamonds. The best thing to do with this one is tap the slightest amount into the cap and then fluff a little and then buff into the face… I’m worried about this one… I’ll have to test it out on a day I know for sure I wont be leaving the house..

This all-in-one brow tool features a retractable pencil with a versatile oval tip on one end and a spoolie on the other. Mineral pigments provide buildable, natural color designed to match your hair color. Each shade was thoughtfully designed to have natural undertones so brows never appear too harsh. This formula is water-resistant and smudge-resistant so your brows will look defined all day long. The spoolie end is ideal for taming brow hairs and blending the color to create your best brows yet. It comes in 4 shades and I purchased the shade Coffee (darkest brown).

What I learned from this swatch: This is a really tough pencil. I have a feeling that it’s going to pull at my brow hairs. It was tough to get the swatch so it’s going to be tough to get snatched brows.

Well that’s all for now dolls. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day/night and that you are in great spirits and health.

Don’t forget to save a spoon for a bit of lipstick.

XOXO, Nita
