It's summer time which means it's time to dust off those sandals, get your pale limbs out and pick up a great new bronzer. I am all about the glow come summer and the bronze glow is the best kinda' glow. If your having trouble really understanding my love for bronzer then think about this, I currently have five bronzer's just in my everyday makeup drawer... FIVE! Who could possibly need that many bronzer's you ask? Well a bronzer addict like me that's who. (
believe it or not I have more that five... gulp) I have never tried any products from Vincent Longo before but when their PR team asked me if I would like to try their new bronzer's I jumped at the chance. There are two shades in the '
La Riviera Sun Matte Bronzer' which is part of the Modern Pop summer collection, a medium shade '
Sun-Kissed' and a dark shade '
Sun-Drenched'. They both have a really interesting speckled effect to them with the lighter shade having darker specks and the darker having almost white specks. Being matte they add a a really nice glow and warmth to the skin without look shimmery or unnatural. Now one thing that needs pointing out if you are super pale, like paler than me (think
NARS Deauville,
Charlotte Tilbury 2,
Chanel 20 Beige) then there isn't really a color here for you, but good news for you darker skin gal's Sun-Drenched could be a great option. The pigmentation on both is great and you can get a really subtle bronzed look all the way to full on bronze depending which shade you use and how much you apply. They both also blend into the skin beautifully, but the darker shade Sun-Drenched is just a little more buttery. One thing to be careful of is that they do have a little bit of 'fall out' so make sure you tap your brush before applying. Sun-Kissed is my perfect everyday bronze shade, it's not to warm nor cool and can even be used to shape the face a little. Sun-Drenched is quite red in tone and on the darker side for me, I can only really get away with it if applied with a light hand. But I can see when I am tanned and when I go on vacation it will be perfect. If you're someone who loves the bronzed look then you need Sun-Drenched in your life, it is dark but applied sparingly it looks really natural (just make sure you run it down your neck too). Plus it makes a great crease color too! If you're in the market for a new bronzer or you are just an avid collector like me then defiantly check these out. The retail for $32 and can be purchased from
Vincentlongo.com.
So I have my summer bronzer sorted...
Now just to find a home for the few other thousand.
Love...
