Giveaway Break - Illumin8 Bronzer


Since it's summer, I've been a bronzing queen. In the winter I don't feel bad about being fair, but in the summer, I love to add bronzer to my daily makeup routine. I found a new favorite, Anastasia Beverly Hills Illumin8 Bronzer in Sunkissed.

Illumin8 is the first clinically and consumer-tested bronzing powder that hydrates the skin and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Just a light dusting of this right underneath my cheek bones, down my nose, and a swipe across my forehead, gives me the 'just got out of the sun' look, without the harmful rays and wrinkles.

According to the Anastasia Beverly Hills site, here are the results of their study, after 4 weeks of daily use of Illumin8:
78% reported skin appeared smoother
73% reported skin appeared Illumin8
68% reported skin appeared firmer

Illumin8 comes in two different colors, Sun kissed & Sun Bronzed, and retails at $29. You can purchase it directly from Anastasia Beverly Hills website or at department stores where Anastasia is sold.

What's In My Beach Bag? - Borghese Splendore Body Bronzer

I have a history with Borghese products - I'm a huge fan. I love their hand and foot creams, and the Summer Glow SPF 20 Tinted Moisturizer. My newest favorite Borghese product is the Splendore All Over Body Bronzer. It's the perfect shade of bronze for summer. When going out, I use it on my decolletage, shoulders and tops of my legs. It's not orange like some bronzers, and it's not super glittery. It's a perfect bronze shimmer, that would probably be perfect for all skin tones.

There is no twisting to make the powder come out, you just have to turn the brush upside down and the powder distributes evenly. The only drawback is the casing, or the lack there of. If you purchase this, make sure to keep the plastic tube it comes in for storage. I don't like leaving it out without a cap. I want to protect it from any kind of dust.

I've brought this out in my beach bag to dust on over sunscreen. Make sure to put sunscreen on, thoroughly first, and then dust on Splendore on your chest and shoulders to look sun-kissed. You don't need harmful sun rays to look like a bronzed goddess, just use Splendore!
