Occasionally I'll be doing my makeup at my vanity and I'll decide to reach for a product I haven't used in a while and occasionally I'll be so happy with the results that the product will become a regular in my routine. That is what has happened with these products. The weather has gotten warmer (not as warm as I'd like, but it's better than 30 degrees, I'll put it that way!) so I've just felt like switching it up!
The Products:
Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette- Since I've been loving bronzey/shimmery cheeks, when I've been wearing eyeshadow I've gone back to this palette. Even though I always do the same look, it's a very versatile palette for only having 6 colors!
NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Nude Peach - NYX glosses are some of my favorites and what I love about this shade is that it's a nice coral color, but it's not too in your face. I typically like nude lipsticks and glosses, so this one is great for me because it makes me feel like I'm having more fun with my makeup, but it doesn't look too "done up" to wear day-to-day.
NARS Multiple Blush in Orgasm- I got this in a set of 3 YEARS ago and every once in a while I'll pull it out, but lately I've been wearing it every day. Pinks don't really suit me, eyes, cheeks or lips, but this is seriously the perfect pink for me because it's got peach tones in it too. I use it with the elf stipple brush and it goes on like a dream.
Bourjois Chocolate Bronzing Powder- This smells nothing like chocolate but it is a nice color to give your face a bit of a sun kissed glow. It's also great for contouring, which is what I mainly use it for because it's not crazy intense, but it can be built up.
ELF Blush/Bronze Duo- As you can see, I've definitely hit pan on the bronzer side of this product, but what I've been actually using recently is the blush. When I originally got this product I didn't care for the blush because I thought it was too shimmery, but lately I've loved using my NARS multiple first and then setting that with this blush because it's supposed to be a dupe for that blush anyway. I find that this blush gives me a healthy glow that makes it look like I've been outside in the sun.
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Cheeky Bronze- I love to use this product on the back of my cheeks, or very lightly as a highlight on top of my cheekbones. It's a gorgeous color that I don't find to be orange at all even on my fair skin, but it is quite shimmery so for me, this product screams spring/summer :)
What spring/summer makeup products have you pulled out so far?
That NARS Multiple sounds so good have you seen the new matte multiple ones? They look so good I love NARS. The NYX lip glosses look gorgeous too x

No I haven't! I'll have to go have a look for sure :)
DeleteRediscovered products are the best! I've been wanting to try one of the NARS multiples for ever! I have a cream blush from a few years ago that has the best pigmentation and wear time- so I imagine the multiples are just as nice!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't crazy about the multiples until recently because they're in a stick form I found them difficult to apply, but I think the elf stipple brush really makes all the difference!
DeleteI love rediscovering products! I've been going back to my Naked Basics palette too lately.

I don't know about the bronzer, and I obviously only have the multiple of the blush to compare it to, but the color is spot on for me! I love putting them together for extra lasting power :)
