Ready, Set, Headbang! St. Tropez Shimmering Bronzing ROCKS!

thankfully for St. Tropez, their new bronzing powder pellets really do rock, and not just in the ’80s power ballad kinda way.

Shimmering Bronzing Rocks ($40) actually look like little rocks. Well, they go from looking like rocks to looking like delicious chocolate truffles, but that could just be me!

ANNONSE

Why rock?

Luxurious St. Tropez specializes in thinking outside the box when it pertains to their self-tanners and bronzers. These Bronzing Rocks complement skin that’s already been kissed by the sun, taking it all the way to the Bronze Age by adding a shimmery, golden glow to shoulders, decollete, cheeks, face, lips and eyes. To ladies of lighter skin tones, Bronzing Rocks deliver a beautiful but subtle glow that’s safer than a regular tan; darker skin tones get a charming golden shimmer.

Hvordan rocke

To apply, swirl a brush on the rocks (hold the olive!) and apply directly to the skin. Or, wield one of the rocks like a piece of chalk, drawing on the eyelids or lips, fun!

One of the best power ballads, evah!

“Good” glitter and a peachy golden glow

St. Tropez feels like a casual bronzer to me, one I’d wear to a beach bar barefoot in a slinky summer dress. I used it today to contour my face and cheeks and really like the fine glitter because it doesn’t make my skin look oily.

As for the color? — worthy of a good headbang. It’s a golden, peachy brown about the shade of late afternoon sunlight, and it’s not muddy or orange in any way on my skin.

Something that doesn’t rock?

Prisen. A budget blocks these rocks. It costs $40, which is a lot of coin for a bronzer, even one as interesting as this, and the packaging isn’t exactly convenient. The jar may look incredible on a dressing table, but it won’t fit in a lot of makeup bags.

Glow forth and bronze!

Have you tried any of these drugstore bronzers before?

Sonia Kashuk Bare minimum pressed Powder Bronzer in Golden, $10

Physicians formula organic wear Bronzer in Fair, $12

Neutrogena healthy Skin blends natural radiance Bronzer in Sunkissed, $11

Maybelline Expertwear singles Bronzers in forever Warm, sunlight or Salsa sun ($6 each)

Physician’s formula Wet/Dry Baked Bronzer, $11

Ulta Minerals Bronzer, $6

Cover girl Cheekers Bronzer in Copper radiance or golden tan, $4 each

Essence Bronzing Pearls, $3

Iman sheer finish Bronzing Powder in Clay or Sand, $15 each

Revlon beyond natural blush Bronzer in Nude, Peach, Pink Bling or Plumberry, $12 each

ANNONSE

I love the luscious golden shimmer and the whole idea of these nuggets, but Bronzing Rocks would rock harder at half the price. Of course, if you have some extra change in your pocket, rock on! makeup and appeal blog Rating: B+

Becca Halcyon Days Mineral Bronzer/Illuminator -duoen i Serrana Serenades Skin med varme eller hjelper deg med å fremheve de beste funksjonene dine

som Becca Halcyon Days Mineral rødmer, pulverene i den nye mineralbronzer/Illuminator Duo i Serrana ($ 43) Se og føl deg feilfri på huden.

På den ene siden, en varm matt bronse som må synge på lys og middels hudtoner (og tilføre en hvisking av varme til mørkere); På den andre siden, en varm fersken med en glansfinish. Begge viser frem fin fresede pulver som praktisk talt blander seg, noe som gjør konturering og fremheving med dem en lek. Jeg vet at det er litt sent på året å tenke på vinteren, men jeg har en følelse av at Serrana ville vært en fantastisk bronzer å ha på midten av vinteren, ikke at det ikke fremdeles er en flott nå.

ANNONSE

Tips fra Becca

Bruk den på en pulver- eller bronzerbørste, påfør den på deler av ansiktet som naturlig ser litt sol, som sidene på pannen, templene, brynetbenene og sentrum av nesen.

Bruk av seg selv eller på toppen av rødme.

For en rosenrød gylden rødme, bland bronzer og illuminator sider sammen.

Becca var også sjenerøs med pannen, som er omtrent i samme størrelse som et MAC -presset pulver, men $ 43 for Serrana høres fremdeles ut som mye, med mindre du planlegger å bruke det hver dag (og mange gals kunne sannsynligvis). Deretter kan du kalle det en investering, og en investering på $ 43 høres bra ut.

Dior Creme de Gloss: Making Me feel like a natural lady

only two words can explain Dior Creme de Gloss: Hawt Daym!

Released this fall, these infants have the look of a medium protection lipstick with the feel of a non-stick gloss. They’re fragrance- as well as flavor-free as well as kinda remind me of Laura Mercier Lip velvets from fall’s Cherries Noir collection.

ANNONSE

A natural (yet Sexy!) Lip Look

I tried two of the 14 Creme de Gloss colors, tasty Plum (a shimmery awesome berry) as well as Coral Elixir (a shimmery golden coral), as well as one layer of each was all it took…

Some glosses look goopy as well as thick on lips. They’re evident as well as the opposite of natural, however not Creme de Gloss. It looks nearly like something used inside the lips, or mixed into them. The result is a natural, yet still shiny as well as kissable pout.

Use Sparingly

For me, I believe the trick to utilizing these is to utilize them sparingly. I had to be cautious I didn’t apply as well much since of exactly how extremely pigmented they are. A bit goes a long way. In these photos I’m using a single thin coat used with the doe foot applicator that includes the tube.

Just for kicks, I tried applying two truly thick layers as well as the results were a hot MESS! I wished to publish the pictures, however to subject you to that horror would have constituted cruel as well as unusual punishment.

Suffice it to say, both shades looked frightening thick as well as flat-out gross on my lips. I went to do some work at the computer, as well as within a few minutes gloss had started migrating as well as smearing outside of my natural lip lines. ‘Twas similar to paparazzi pictures of Amy Winehouse buying shoeless at a 24-hour grocery store. Ikke bra.

Price: $25.50
Use: A naturally shiny, extremely pigmented lipgloss-lipstick hybrid
Makeup as well as appeal blog Rating: A

The catch (There’s always a Catch)

Obvs, they’re Dior, so they ain’t cheap. That blows, however since one layer supplies such exceptional coverage, I believe a tube can be made to last a long time.

Hopefully, you don’t mind having to reapply your lip products frequently throughout the day since like a lot of glosses these have an problem with wear time. They last about two as well as half hours, tops, sans eating or drinking, which wipes ’em out even quicker.

If you’re a lipgloss nut like I am, I believe they’re sooo worth inspecting out. like ‘EM!

From Christian Dior to Christian Bale

Comic nerds as well as lusty ladies, gather ’round! Rumors are circulating that C. Bale will play marvel comic book sorcerer hero Dr. Strange!

“Christian is hot residential or commercial property ideal now, courtesy of Batman. physician odd is a extremely different type of hero to Batman as well as it’s felt Christian is the kind of actor who can make the part work on screen. It is comprehended a offer might be struck in the coming weeks.’”
—New Zealand Herald

I really just enjoyed a Dr. odd animated motion picture with El Hub a few nights ago. It was the very first time I’d heard of the character, however I believed the motion picture was great, so I’m hoping the rumors are true!

ANNONSE

Judging by his option of roles, it’s beginning to look like C. Bale has a hero complex, however whatevs! I don’t care. I’d still trip filthy with him in the Batmobile. phone call me, Chris!

Do You understand a Jean Paul Gaultier Fleur du male Man?

There is a veranda surrounded by an untamed garden. You are seated in a chair, hair combed back. Languorous. The white marble emits an ethereal glow in the lazy midday sun. Your straw chair creaks mildly, the noise dampened by a luxurious cushion. The leaves of a close-by orange tree flicker in spite of the stillness of the vapid air. A few wispy clouds path with the area of blue above you, unraveling as fresh, unwoven cotton. A few vines have slunk their method around fluted columns, tendrils caressing the unblemished stone. A thin scent of something baking escapes from an opened kitchen area window; it is sweet, however fleeting. There may be a feline draped over the arm of a chair in the distance, or possibly it is just a shadow.

While modesty may dissuade some from leaving it out on display, I appreciate the artistry as well as proudly location it near the front of my collection. If nothing else, it definitely does stimulate fascinating conversations.

Listed as being composed of petitgrain, orange blossom, coumarin, as well as fern, Fleur du male definitely is a predominantly floral cologne. Upon the very first spritz, the fragrance opens with a woody, earthy, orange accord, hearkening much more of the small, almond-shaped leaves than the blossoms of the tree. The opening is a tad bitter, however not in an unpleasant way; I discover it invigorating. The bitterness rapidly smooths into what should be the orange blossom. It is soft, languid, as well as aeriform. as well as it really smells of orange. Not synthetic, cleaning material citrus, however true, powdery, somewhat acid fresh orange blossom.

As it settles into its base notes, Fleur du male retains the orange blossom as well as gains a subtle mossy tone similar to freshly turned earth tumbled loosely at the base of a shade tree. A hint much more powder emerges, resulting in a extremely fresh, clean finish. The sweetness of the middle notes have mainly gone by now, leaving only a enjoyable vestige of their existence behind.

Although an eau de toilette, Fleur du male is rather potent. two spritzes last me with the day. wear time is impressively long; after 18 hours, I can still find traces of clinging softly to my wrists. Projection is moderate at about two to three feet, however it works in mysterious ways: the powdery, seductive notes tend to job as well as fade farther, drawing others in to catch them with the unique aura of complexity produced by the softer notes that float better to the body.

While some guy may worry using something identified as “floral”, Fleur du male is definitely a men’s cologne. however just as certainly, it is not for every man. Or even many men. Fleur du male is for the guy who delights in his pleasures. He may still utilize a dab of hair oil to keep his locks in place.

Jean Paul Gaultier Fleur du male is a cologne that was certainly not aimed at the mass market. Be it the potentially imposing bottle, the powerful floral notes, or the much more languorously sensual nature of this fragrance, Fleur du male will not be for many men. It demands a specific polished appearance as well as an offhanded care for grammar as well as enunciation.

Chanel, innendørs rørleggerarbeid, internett og allergimedisin er bare en håndfull av de mange grunnene til at jeg er takknemlig for at vi lever i disse moderne tider, og her er en annen: Old School Charm var ganske grov!

Tilbake på 1800- og begynnelsen av 1900 -tallet kunne du ikke bare gå inn i en Walgreens (vel, Walgreens var rundt da, men ikke som i dag) og kjøpe et rør med glans eller en flaske polering og kalle det en dag. Mange kvinner laget sine egne kosmetikk hjemme, og noen av ingrediensene de brukte var rett og slett Naaaasty.

Blek hud var hele raseri; For å få utseendet, ville kvinner støve visningene sine med blybaserte ansiktspulver (vi vet nå hvor skadelig bly kan være). Som om det ikke var ille nok, ville de mørkne håret med sjampo laget av jernrost, og for myke, smidige smackere laget de leppesalver fra spermaceti, et voksaktig stoff samlet fra hodene til sædhval (stilig).

Det foretrukne utseendet til mange vestlige sjarmavhengige fra 1800 -tallet? – Det tilsynelatende naturlige, tilsynelatende nakne ansiktet.

De hadde ikke øyenskygge (kan du forestille deg?), Og veldig få hadde på seg eyeliner, som de forresten laget ved å bruke brent korkrester med en gammel skoleversjon av Sonia Kashuk bøyde eyelinerbørste.

Likevel, jo mye mer ting endres, jo mye mer forblir de de samme. Akkurat som om vi strømmer til blanke magasiner, nettsteder og YouTube -kanaler, fulgte våre vakre forgjengerne sjarmstrender med bøker og magasiner som Godys damebok (en populær månedlig mag) og The Arts of Beauty: Eller Secrets of a Lady’s Toalett (lol!), av Lola Montez.

Kevin Murphy Night.Rider firm Hold Hair Paste Took My Hair from 0-60 in No Time flat

Written by Sam
Not even talking sports cars with penchants for sarcasm might have kept makeup artist as well as blogger Sam from trying the subject of today’s guest post.

It’s not commonly that I’ll rush from the upper east Side to the village with barely an hour to spare just to get hold of a product. however my hair was getting long as well as resisting the mild styling power of my present crème, as well as I had a huge night ahead. A flat, shapeless ‘do just would not… do.

Australian hair guru Kevin Murphy was the designer of my previously preferred hair product, Easy.Rider. This potent, herbal crème left my short, blow-dried hair soft, satiny, as well as de-frizzed; unfortunately, when my hair gets longer, it tends to lose definition. A quick jaunt with the interweb led me to Kevin Murphy’s fascinating pop-art site (and right here for the store). almost every page has an accompanying podcast where the stylist himself illustrates, step by step, exactly how to style with the lotion, crème, or powder; a excellent little addition that rapidly helped me pick the small, jet-black box that was just one of the most aesthetically appealing packages I’d ever encountered.

One metro trip down to a small four-seat beauty parlor in the village completed my quest for my new Hairy Grail, as well as left me in possession of the cleverly named Night.Rider (about $20 for a 3.7-oz. box).

This soft paste promised a “tough hold as well as a rough matte texture,” however Kevin Murphy had never met my hair. Although I was still recalling memories of my terrific jaunt with Easy.Rider, I was skeptical of what this product might do. On my indifferent locks, matte normally equaled flat, as well as textured commonly led to tangled. A thorough rinse in chilly water as well as a quick strike out prepped my hair for its upcoming ordeal.

Clicking open the creative latch on the package, my nose was pleasantly assaulted by a smooth citrus scent, reminiscent of a hand painted ceramic bowl nestled in some sunny breakfast nook filled with bright tangerines. As it turns out, Night.Rider is laced with the oils of these tasty fruits, which, due to its exceptionally high concentration of Vitamin C, imparts a subtle sheen as well as reverses environmental damage.

Rubbing a dime-size amount of the concentrated product between my palms rapidly emulsified the thick paste into a somewhat sticky film that I rather cautiously ran with my hair. promptly upon contact, I might already see it setting, creating a thick, piecey look. I might have quickly stopped there as well as ran to satisfy my good friend across town, however I wanted more. I massaged the product deep into my roots in the way a great stylist at an costly beauty parlor gives one of those marvelous scalp massages as they let the conditioner set in — strong, circular movements that made sure every strand was evenly coated from root to un-split end. My hair began to feel softer as well as looked softly defined: little pieces curled as well as overlapped, as well as fell in that enviable it-looks-like-I-rolled-out-of-bed-this-way-but-I-really-spent-a-good-deal-of-time-getting-my-hair-this-perfect way (an acronym for that would be greatly appreciated).

When I was done, I kind of looked like a wild man. My hair stuck out in every which way however slowly began to work out into place. I was left with a rough, tousled look with a fair bit of volume. possibly as well much volume. Although I took pleasure in the very somewhat bouncy hair on top, the pieces that stuck out from the side made my head appear as well round, as well as I don’t delight in looking like I fit in with the Peanuts gang. So I pushed that extraneous hair flat against my head, as well as held it there for a great count of three (not one of those cheating, in-a-hurry counts). And… it stayed.

The incredible residential property of Night.Rider is exactly how rapidly as well as well it sets. The base of beeswax allows the paste to take control within 90 seconds as well as set totally within five minutes. Hold any type of part of your hair where you want it — be it flattened against your scalp, pieced across your forehead, or mussed up as well as out — for that great count of three, as well as it’ll stay. style a ideal chignon, as well as pull a few pieces loose, holding them in location for that excellent disheveled look, or separate bangs to show off that excellent layering your stylist gave you. Hair still retains natural movement, however always shifts back into place. Hurricane force winds may provide this product a run for its money, however if you can handle to prevent natural disasters, your styling ought to be great to go until you wash it out.

Unlike numerous thick products that need induRengjøringsmidler for strrialt nivå for å trekke ut fra din â € ˜do, night.rider er nesten helt vannløselig. Til og med min mildeste fargebeskyttende sjampo som mangler overflateaktive midler for å virkelig fjerne utbygging, kan etterlate håret mitt mykt så vel som rent etter å ha brukt dette produktet.

Og fordi jeg har begynt å bruke dette til de nye morgenmassasjene mine, ser håret mitt virkelig, så vel som føles, sunnere. Jeg vil kritisere det opp til den fantastisk velduftende mandarinoljen som tilfører hver tråd med fuktighet så vel som antioksidanter, så vel som bivoks som virker for å forsegle den fuktigheten så vel som beskyttelse fra alle slags skader.

Min ene grep med Night.Rider er at overflaten er mye mer mot satin enn helt matt. Egentlig velger jeg dette, men ville foretrukket litt mye mer virkelighet i reklame, så vel som om det er alt jeg kan oppgi mot dette produktet, det er ikke dårlig i det hele tatt.

Night.Rider er som en voks, men ingen steder i nærheten så klissete. Det er som en pomade, men ikke er fet i det minste. Den kontrollerer så vel som definerer kort til middels hår i tillegg til at tekstur til lengre låser. Det kan forme håret til moderne, sexy, piecy -utseende eller form, definere, i tillegg til å sette et tradisjonelt – gjør. Forbedre den naturlige tilstanden i håret ditt, i tillegg til å ta nesen på en sensorisk reise.

Lag et frossent øyeblikk i tid som varer til det aller første lyset. Night.Rider gir deg kontroll, samt la oss hårturen gratis.
