My must have beauty products of the week.. Creme de la mer soft Creme and clarisonic cleanser

Best Bronzers For Fall

Clarins Delicious Self Tanning Cream

Although I this was my must have bronzer for summer I still think that most of you would also love this one for winter. Believe it or not until this year I was terrified of Self Tanners. As the summer began to progress I started to ponder the idea of being a bronzed goddess like the rest of my friends.. Except for the fact that i personally HATE sun exposure. Though natural exposer was unavoidable this product really helped intensify the minimal sun that I did obtain naturally. I was left with the perfect olive golden glow that I had dreamed of and became an avid user instantly... I would say the only downside to the Cream is that you have to work a little bit harder and use more product to achieve the best results!! 

Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel

A Beautiful Glow without the Sun.... 

This one is my NEW favorite.. As summer began to fade away I started bronzing less or sometimes not at all... like I said the downfall of the creme was that it took forever to apply.... So I came across the gel!! A lighter formula with faster results... Is that even possible, Why yes, yes it is!!!! This guy is hands down the best.. Looks super natural and effortlessly blends throughout your body.. I also love the product is white unlike the creme which is a chocolate color.. My concern for transfer onto my clothing was over!!! Within seconds you can notice the warmth as it develops naturally on your skin.. I found that you could really layer this one for a deeper glow and it wouldn't leave you orange at all!!! MUST HAVE FOR FALL!!! 

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural 

I have never been someone who is fond of a creme or gel bronzer for your face.. I l personally like to add my bronzer daily to my face with a powder. This is my ALL time favorite bronzing product ever!!!! I use the mineralize skin finish often for a regular powder in the lightest shade, recently I started using Medium Dark As my bronzer only... It is amazing.. I have tried every powder bronzer under the SUN and they are either too orange or too shimmery.. The best part about this is that you can build it up and you still look like you have a natural tan. This Backed power that is made in italy leaves you with the perfect glow. One of my favorite tricks is to use this product with a wet Brush for a dewy bronzed effect!

Mac Prep + Prime Skin Smoother & Moisture Infusion Primer

So Throughout the summer I was obsessed with these products they were my go to for priming my skin!! As you can see they are used and abused and I really was pleased with the results. I like to give myself at least a month or so to try out a new product before I give them an intensive review. 

Lets Start with the play by play of who would benefit from these two products. Mac launched both of these products around the start of summer just in time for that summer sun!! 

Prep + Prime Moisture Infusion Serum 

Like myself most of you probably find yourself out in the sun a little more often in the summer months. Therefor you probably find your skin and makeup to not always agree with one another. I started each morning and nightly regimen with the Mac Moisture Infusion Serum! AFTER fully cleansing my skin This was the first thing I applied to my sun struck face... Its a lightweight blast of hydration that instantly leaves your skin with a baby soft feeling... I noticed that I generally got a reduction in any redness from my light acne marks and sun exposure. Prior to using this product my skin was often dry.. It made a huge difference on those extra dry areas like my nose and forehead. Anyways.. long story short.. This is definitely my favorite of the two primers...

Prep + Prime Skin Smoother

When I first got word of this product launching I was super excited!! I personally am always on the hunt for a new Primer. Like a lot of you out there I have really sensitive skin and still suffer from acne. I am always convinced that the primer plays a large roll in my breakouts so that was my first concern when trying this.. Although I do love that it is designed to smooth out any textured areas I did find that if you applied to much of this product it would ball up on your skin... After applying this with my large duo fiber brush for the first week or so I decided to try sponging it onto the skin.. I found that I actually liked the results of this much better than using the brush. Another downfall of the brush application was that the brush hair's often collected in the compact.. Not really a huge deal but  the compact starts to show signs of wear right away.. I found that when applied with the sponge you could really blend it into the skin avoiding any buildup... In the end I gave up on this product for my personal use but love it for models and events when looking to really build full coverage with any foundation. 

Heres a quick snapshot of the two products on my skin. With a light application of studio fix powder for my foundation and Mineralize skin finish natural Medium Dark for my bronzer.. As you can see I am currently having a few minimal breakouts but the primers do work to cover any redness / discoloration
