L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Tutorial

Hey girlies!
In my mid-summer haul post, I purchased L'oreal's Sublime Bronze Self Tanner. I do far have used this product twice on my face and have fallen in love with it!

This product says that it will leave you with a radiant and sun kissed glow with a 100% natural looking tan gradually. I don't want to start doing a review on this product quite yet, but I do want to explain how I applied this to my body.

For this tutorial I am going to show you how I apply this to the parts of my arms that did not get tanned by the sun.
This self tanner is colored, so you can see where you applied it, as well as it will give you an instant tan. However, this self tanner is also a luminous one so it leave a whole bunch of tiny glitters on your body.

Since I am a night showerer I will apply this tanner at night so there will be time to let it develop as well as for some of the glitters to rub off.

**This tanner will develop more over time so do not apply a bunch your first time to avoid looking orange.

To apply this, I first took a little amount into my palm or finger tips. I then will take a little amount with my other hand to apply this to my body.

Evenly run this into your skin, adding more tanner where you might need it. You will start seeing some color and glitter on your skin.

 

Once you have applied this to the area where you need the tanner, IMMEDIATELY once you are done to avoid orange and streaky hands. I have learned this from experience, trust me do not miss this step.

When I self tanned my face, I woke up in the morning with some streaks and a pretty tanned face. What I did to get a even looking tan, I started by lightly washing my face and as I did I would rub the tanner that begin to wash off back into my skin to even the tan. After padding my face dry I noticed the tan to be more even.

When I apply makeup to my face, I apply some concealer to my dark circles and any imperfections or blemishes I may have. I then apply a thin layer of foundation over my skin to even it out even more, then I will apply some bronzer and blush, then I will carry on with the rest of my makeup.


So far I am really liking this self tanner, and I defiantly will have a review on this in the near future.

My family and I am heading out to the lake for the next week, so I will still try to post as much as possible!
Hope you girls had a great weekend!

Mid-Summer Face Makeup Haul!

Hey girls!
For the past couple of days where I live, we have been having a real heat wave! For me this means alot of soaking up the sun and working on my tan! I have been getting pretty drak with all this hot weather, so I thought I needed to go get some new face products so my skin coloring looks all equal. So here are the products that I got:

- L'oreal Sublime Bronze Luminous Bronzer Self-Tanning Lotion

- Wet 'n Wild Coloricon Bronzer

- NYC Smooth Skin Pressed Translucent Face Powder

- NYC Liquid Eyeliner

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you may have seen me asking about some good self tanners. Lately I have been looking into self tanners for my face and neck so that it can match the rest of my body without feeling the weight of makeup on. After doing some looking around on YouTube, I decided to pick this self tanner up. I can definately do a review or tutorial on this if you girls want!

While out, I also decided to pick up this huge Wet 'n Wild bronzer. I already like this bronzer because the color seems to match my skin really well. So I hope that it will be good!

I also picked up NYC's Liquid Eyeliner and Translucent Face Powder. These are not new items in my makeup bag, but I thought I might as well just post them in here as well! I love using this face powder because by the end of the day when my face is starting to look oily or shiny, I apply some of this mainly to my T-zone to make my face look more matte. I have been using this for a long time now, and still love it!

Have you tried any of these products before?

Even The Sun Sets in Paradise

Hey Girls!
Today I have a darker summer eye look that is great for summer nights out! I have also been loving winging out my eyeliner more than usual lately, which I think is a really nice look for not only summer, but everyday!

For this look I used:

- Bonnebelle White Eyeliner (as a base)

- Urban Decay Naked Palette in Virgin

- E.L.F. 100 Shadow Palette - Colors dont have names, so I used a mixture of oranges and reds

- Urban Decay Naked Palette in Creep

- Eyeliner is NYC Liquid Liner in Black Noir



Hope you liked it! :)

Glossy Neutral Lips ♡

Hey Girls!
With summer fast approaching, one thing that I know is great for summer are neutral lips. I love the look of light colored/ nude lips for summer time as well as wearing my lips glossy too. Today I have another YouTube tutorial on how I wear my neutral glossy ways -- one really pale, and one with a pinkish color to them!

The trick I use to get a nice neutral/ nude lip is to start out with a good base to your lips. I use a combination of concealers to get the desired shade that I want. After I blend that into my lips, I start adding the gloss or color to my lips that I want to wear that day.

When you apply the concealer to your lips, it looks kinda scary but thats what I find works for me!

Do you like nude lips? Will you be wearing them this summer?

Yellow Polka Dot Bikini NOTW

Hey Girls!

Sorry for the lack of posts this week! It's been kind of crazy with alot of things happening this week. But, this weekend its a long weekend for me where I live because Monday is a holiday, so I will have time to get some posts up this weekend!

Earlier this week I did my nails and wanted to do them nice and summery. I chose yellow because I find this color to get me into the summer mood. As I was doing my nails and I thought adding some white polka dots would add a fun look to them! Once I started doing the dots the lyrics Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini came into my head, which inspired the name of this post!

Polishes Used:

- Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Mellow Yellow

- Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in White Out

- China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat

*TIP: If you have touble like me at doing perfectly straight side swipes on your nails follow this one super easy step!

Take some Scotch Tape and lightly place the tape where you want your side swipe to be. Paint the top helf of your nail, and once the polish is dry carefully remove the tape and finish your design!

Have a great weekend!
