good to glow


i can't say it enough times: SEPHORA IS KILLING ME. there are so many, many, many things that i want--but sadly, i am waiting for K's trip in december so we can shop together. let me tell you, it's torture, but i know that we will have so much fun and i can't wait for the big haul. SERIOUSLY. CANNOT. WAIT. however, i just got the bare escentuals precious diamond beauty duo to tide me over.

it's such a lovely color--it's like a combination of the line's bare skin and true gold colors. so pretty and so sparkly. you're supposed to brush it on shoulders, arms, décolletage or legs--i think this would be perfect for summer because it imparts a little bit of color and shimmer--but it got me to thinking this could be the perfect bronzer. to put it mildly, i am pale--i use the lightest bare escentuals foundation in fair--and i find most bronzers are too flat and muddy so the thought of putting them all over my face turns me off. instead, i used this yesterday, mixed with my mineral veil. at first, i used a a too-heavy hand and sort of looked like the oscar statue, but once i blended it just left a pretty glow. i feel like this is the perfect bronzer, and the brush is absolutely amazing--worth the price of the set alone!
