Hey guys, thought I’d make a short video for this weeks Friday Fave since I haven’t done one in awhile. Check it out!:
*disclaimer* – I apologize for not being up to par style wise, today was house cleaning day and I wasn’t in the mood…forgive me!
Here is the link to my Hot Mama blush review.
You can purchase Balm Shelter at a reduced price here.
Are you a fan of tinted moisturizers? Do you use bronzer or are you “bronzer illiterate” like me? To tan, or not to tan? Let me know!

I use Balm Shelter! It’s pretty great. The only bronzer I have tried is by Physicians Formula and I wasn’t a fan. Nice post!

Ooh, I’ll have to try this out. I’m always ridiculously pale but I hate the way bronzer looks on me. Thanks for the suggestion!

I actually like using bronzer, it’s all about how you apply it. Maybe you aren’t buying the right shade? I saw a picture of your dog by the way. He’s so cute!

Hey Maria! I have heard of this product line Balm Shelter but never used it myself (might have to check it out) but as far as bronzer goes i’m an addict. I won’t leave my house without bronzer! The key to bronzer application is to apply it only on the outter side of your cheeks from mid cheek to the temples then use a colored blush on the apple of the cheek, if you swipe it all over then you’ll look like a “hot mess” and have too much of a glo. Bronzer is great also for shading and adding depth to your cheekbones especially those of us (me) that don’t have really defined cheek bones. I love Glo Minerals bronzer in Sunkiss and believe it or not Bonnie Bell bronzer that is less than $5 is amazing too! I enjoy your blog, keep it going lady

I think you’ll have to give me an in-person lesson! Perhaps for a how-to blog post?
