Spa Monday!!
So every Monday morning (during the summer, when I have no classes) I take the morning and early afternoon to treat myself well. (It's Saturday when I'm at school). I think its important to use this time to re-charge, relax and get yourself in the best shape possible for the stresses of the week. I usually do DIY skin and hair care, and do an exfoliation all over.
Today on the menu:
Lip Exfoliation: Lip Balm (Nivea SOS) + Brown Sugar + Wet toothbrush.
Banana Hair Mask: Blend one banana, a tablespoon of honey, and a tablespoon of olive oil. I have my hair up in a plastic bag. Soak for at least 30 mins, but I'm just going as long as I can today.
Multani Mitti Face Mask: Teaspoon of mitti powder (I used hesh brand), and enough rose water to make it into a thin (not watery) paste.
Body care: I'm washing with organix passionfruit guava shampoo (reviews on it after i use it its my first use) and caress evenly gorgeous and a washcloth or loofah.
I'm also giving myself a mani-pedi with Sally Hansen's Sheerly Opal Kit.
Have a gorgeous Monday and get glowing girls!!

My Latest Obsession: Lipstains!
Pros:
- Long lasting colors
- Lip balm built in
- Kiss proof
- Marker
- The balm is pretty moisturizing.
Cons:
- As with all lip stains, it's a bit drying (the balm helps)
- Colors are a bit bold and bright.
- I broke the balm on one of the ones I bought trying to peel off the wrapper. :)
In a nutshell: I like it. I've only tried 2 other stains so far (Covergirl and Stainiac-theBALM) and so far this is the best one I've tried. I bought it in Beloved (a Mauvy-Plum) and Frenzy (a bright berry/wine color). I love that the cap to the marker has two layers to prevent the marker from drying out. The Covergirl one didn't have one and my marker dried out in a week or so (boo). I think Frenzy comes out as a deeper, redder version of the Benetint lipstain on me (NC40/42)... or so I remember, I've only used it at the counter. Swatches to come later!

Who is BronzeBeauty?
This blog is here for me to talk about makeup, fashion, and my product reviews/rants/DIY's/etc. I've been wearing makeup since I was young (yes my parents were ok with it), and I've explored and experimented a lot. Right now I'm back in the natural/minimalist phase. I've been through the colorful phase, the dramatic phase and the stage makeup phase (growing up I was a dancer.... think Ballet.... and actress).
So with that lets get started!
One of my favorite products is rosewater.
I literally snuck out of my house to buy some today. It's all natural, alcohol free, and I personally think its the best toner :) I'm going to India in a week and I think this would be perfect for that long flight over there. It's a soothing, cooling, relaxing treat (and I totally plan on stocking up on it there along with Fullers Earth (Multani Mitti), since its super cheap there). My skin stays smooth, calm and clear whenever I start using it. I keep it around in a spray bottle, but for an extra treat keep it in the fridge (It gives you an extra refreshing sensation for these hot southern days). If you have dry skin add a few drops of glycerin. It's eco friendly for all you green chicks out there, can be tailored for your skin type, and can be made at home (see DIY link).
Love and Beauty,
