| Buxom Tryst $24 at Sephora |
In the beginning of the summer, I decided to do the unthinkable...give up bronzing powder. My plan was to fake my tan with a combination of Garnier's Beauty Balm and a touch of foundation in a deeper skin tone, no doubt meant for a non-Caucasian.
I was tired of how dry my skin looked with bronzing powder and particularly frustrated with the sparkle factor. Why is it that those little buggers have a particular affinity for finding their way straight into any facial nooks and crannies??? Frustratingly, they are uber present in most bronzers, albeit prestige or mass brands.
Yesterday I posted a TotalBeauty "beauty bubble" (articles that are customized to the interests of the Beauty Blogger's they publish,) about "best" and "worst" bronzers. The timing was favorable.
As the humidity has kicked in and the mercury is rising to 90 on most days, my makeup is melting leaving my looking pale and peaked. I knew it was time to reconsider bronzing powder and armed with a number of raves, I went to Sephora to check them out...
I am a Benefit fan of long standing, so my first stop was to look at Hoola a matte powder that always wins raves and in pictures looked picture perfect.
