top 5 summer time bronzers the balm hourglass too faced urban decay nars

Bronzer is such a summer time staple product but if you are fair skinned they can be hard to find. But over time I have found quite a few bronzers that I love year round and a few that I love particularly when the weather gets warmer and I am not as fair skinned as usual.

Oh wow! We’ve cut the year in half and it is summer time! Yes that’s right! July is here which is exciting as it is a) my birthday month and b) the start of my summer vacation. I just need to survive the next 2 weeks and I should be fine! But of course I will still be wearing makeup too, so I shopped my stash for some new products to use.

I don’t often review mascara: I have a few favorites that I have used for a long time and therefore do not feel like trying anything new.

The You Better Work line. It includes two mascaras and I tried one!

After my all time favorite BB cream was discontinued by The Body Shop, some people recommended I look into the newly released Bourjois Healthy Mix BB Cream. It took ages before I could find it in store last winter and since BB cream is a summer makeup product for me I didn’t get around to using it until this month. Will this be a good replacement for the BB cream I loved so much? More importantly yet: will it be a good, lightweight summer time base that can withstand a bit of sweat and heat?
