Review : Nars Sunkissed Bronzing Cream

There have been some GOOD summer launches this. Summer and the holidays have the best new releases for beauty.

I was perusing the internet and saw that Nars had released a new Limited Edition Sunkissed Bronzing Cream for summer. Then I got to looking at reviews and everyone was RAVING about this and the Laguna shade was out of stock everywhere. Obviously, this made me decide I needed to try this bronzer out haha.

It restocked on Macy’s and I was able to pick it up there, but I also emailed Nars’ Customer Service asking if it would be restocked and they said it would be. So you should have a chance to get it if you’re interested!

When I opened it I smelt the classic Nars Monoi scent, I love the scent. It’s very summery and a little masculine but very good. I went straight to application, I like using a stippling brush. Things can go very wrong if I have too much bronzer and I can always pick up more.

This blends like a DREAM. So easily. Literally anyone could look good in this. No technique needed. Reminds me of the Chanel bronzer that is so easy. It’s also very light and not super thick and creamy which I love. I find with the thicker more emollient formulas I pick up too much product. I ALWAYS use stippling brushes with cream products, they’re the best for not picking up too much product and blending seamlessly.

Anyone who’s ever had Laguna knows this color is really nice. Not too cool and not too warm it’s pretty neutral.

Overall, one of my favorite beauty purchases this year. Highly recommend picking it up if you’re interested in a good cream bronzer. Right now it’s Limited Edition, but hopefully they’ll make it permanent since everyone seems to love it!

3 Best Perfumes for Summer

It has been way too long since I’ve created a new post, hopefully I can get back in my grove again. Super busy month, went to a Wedding, spent a weekend with my family, and graduations.

I wanted to make a post of my 3 favorite perfumes for summer. I love scents. I just love how they can remind you of certain seasons or moments in your life or occasions. Plus, who doesn’t like to be complimented on how good they smell? For the summer months, I want something light, airy, fresh, floral, and easy. You know those summer days where you’ve been outside swimming or sweating outside then you come inside to get ready for a dinner out in 20 mins? And you go out with wet hair and throw on a dress because it’s easy. This is all acceptable in the summertime, everyone is happy it’s sunny and warm.

I digress, but these are my 3 favorite perfumes for the Summer!

Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Intense

This is my most recent addition and I am so excited to break this out all the time this summer. If you love citrus notes you’ll love this. I read and watched a lot of reviews and 99% of people were saying definitely get the intense version, it lasts longer and is a deeper scent. They were right, this is an amazing blend of lightness and fresh citrus with a hint of something deeper. It’s beautiful and lasts fairly long.

Key Notes: Lemon, Jasmine Petals, Musk

Chanel Chance

I wear this all year, but I think it’s especially good in the summer. It’s fresh, light, and floral and a little bit sweet but not too much. It’s SO good. It’s extremely popular for good reason.

Key Notes: Jasmine, Pink Pepper, Patchouli

Marc Jacobs Daisy

A classic. This scent is really pretty and simple. It’s light and perfect for throwing on in the summer. This a scent that really couldn’t offend anyone.

Key Notes: Strawberry, Violet Leaves, Jasmine

There you have it! These are my go to perfumes that I will be putting to good use this summer. Hope you found this useful and let me know if you have any favorite perfumes to use in the summer!
