NYC Sun 'n' Bronze Bronzer Review




So whilst birthday shopping I was on the hunt for a new bronzer. I haven't really been too into using them in the past because with my skin being so light, I have been afraid of it making me look orange.

With that in mind I was looking for something with a dark enough color to give me a slightly tanned look, but with light enough color I didn't look orange.

The solution? Finding a bronzer with a mixture of colors. I managed to find a few and this one from NYC caught my attention. It wasn't overly pricey, and had a very nice mixture of colors.

I have to say I really like it, it does exactly what I wanted, if I mix the colors together then tap off the brush then I get the right amount of color so that I don't look too dark, just nicely tan and glowy.



Now I do have one little problem with this bronzer, as much as I like the color and effect it has, it breaks. As you can see pieces are just coming out of the tray, this means I have to be quite careful with it or else I might loose some of the powder and therefor the color. Because of this it will be hard for me to take this with me anywhere because I'm afraid it'd be completely broken by the time I got it there. I'm not sure if it's only gonna be the edges that do this or if it'll all break eventually, but this is an issue for me.



So this is what happened when I took it to the beach. It had already had a little more breaking to begin with, but after traveling with it, it's in pieces. It was handled with care, it wasn't thrown around, the case should've protected it well enough, yet this still happened. This Bronzer really has no durability at all, and I now have to be quite careful to use it.

That being said, since I do like the color I may buy it again because as I said it didn't cost that much, but I do wish they'd fix this issue. However, if it still continues to do this every time, I wouldn't try it again unless I heard they fixed it.
Have any of you guys had this problem with this? Is it just me?

Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick Review

Hey guys!! How was your week? Has school started back for you guys yet? My college recently started back so that's been interesting to balance with work. Today I thought I'd review the Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Kitten Heels.  I really really REALLY love this color and this lipstick in general.  This is my first ever liquid lipstick and I think it's awesome.  If you aren't familiar with liquid lipsticks,  they go on like a gloss, but dry like a matte or in  this case a cream lipstick. This one is gorgeous.  I'm actually really glad my boyfriend encouraged me to get this color (ok so I made him pick one... lol). This has pretty good lasting power to. It will need to be touched up after eating or drinking alot, but I feel like that's pretty normal for most lipsticks.  I would absolutely recommend this to you guys to try though,  it isn't too expensive and it's awesome. ^_^

Maybelline Color Sensational in Wickedly White Review

  Ok guys, so I bought this a few months ago because I found out they had came out with a ton of new colors in this line and thought it would be cool to try.   The reason I haven't reviewed it is because I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO WEAR IT!! I have never had a white lipstick before and I have not found any way so far that this looks nice.   As far as the quality of these lipsticks, the quality is fine. They have decent lasting power (you would only need a few touch ups throughout the day...more if you eat and drink a lot) and they feel nice, but yeah I have no clue how to wear it.   Have any of you guys had a white lipstick before? Any other beauty gurus have any good ideas of how to wear this??

Getting my Belly Button Pierced

(Photo by Grace, Southern Grace Photography) So I did something super exciting and scary recently. I got my belly pierced!! I researched and found a awesome tattoo shop called Golden Spiral Tattoo, I totally recommend them btw. I went with my fiance and we told them what we were there for and I gave them my ID and signed the papers after the piercing artist did a short 'consultation' which was basically just looking at and feeling my belly button area. She told me because I bend right at my belly button when I sit and stuff I would need to be sure to sit up straight, but it looked good and she could do it. We went back with her to a little room and she cleaned around my belly button and marked where to pierce with her maker and measured the area. She had a few different belly rods I guess? laying out for me to choose from so I chose a small diamond looking one (pictured obviously lol) and she sanitized it. She had me lay on the table and adjust...
