Bare Minerals Gen Nude Blonzer Blush + Bronzer ($25) is a new blush and bronzer hybrid which has a talc-free and vegan formula that’s available in three shades for Spring/Summer 2021. The formula contains light-reflecting pearls to give skin a radiant glow and a pretty touch of warm color.
I don’t like bronzer but when I wear it I typically combine it with my favorite cheek stain or blush to make it more wearable. When I saw the new Bare Minerals Gen Nude Blonzer Blush + Bronzer I instantly knew I wanted a few of the shades. I ended up hauling all three actually but I’m only featuring one in this review! More shade reviews upcoming shortly.
I was actually sort of shocked when I finally got mine as they aren’t as beautiful as the promo images. The promo images not only look more pigmented but they also appear to have a baked formula or even a more raised, dome shape. They’re a lot smaller than I envisioned as well! I was thinking more along the lines of a Laura Geller Baked n Blush formula and appearance but in reality these are as small as the regular Gen Nude Blushes. The compact is about the size of MAC Blush and holds 0.13 oz of blush. It’s just a lot smaller than I thought it would be.
I picked up some of the new Jergens Skin Smoothie Body Lotions because suddenly I’m into themed shower days. Anyone here of this new trend? Well, maybe it’s not totally new! Everyone on Tiktok is doing these themed showers and suddenly I wanted in! Basically, what you do is gather up all the same scented items. For example, you can do a coconut shower theme where you wash your and conditioner your hair with coconut shampoo and conditioner, use a coconut scrub on your legs, hydrate with a coconut lotion, and of course, wear a coconut scented body spray or perfume! Yeah, I feel like I’m a freshman in high school again doing this but you know, sometimes, when you get home after a long day and just want to relax matching up all your favorite bath and body products and taking a long shower isn’t that bad an idea.
While at the evil empire aka Walmart recently I noticed they had these new Jergens Skin Smoothie Body Lotions and they were pretty cheap so I grabbed up the Cucumber & Melon and Pink Grapefruit & Pomelo scented one! There’s also a Avocado & Apple as well! These are super lightweight, non-sticky, and they absorb easily into skin. I totally did a cantaloupe and honeydew melon theme last week and I have no regrets. Cantaloupe and honeydew Melon is one of my favorite fruity fragrances! I like the formula on these since they are so lightweight they aren’t tacky or greasy! They absorb easily and provide light moisture to skin. The cucumber melon has a nice refreshing scent and the grapefruit is a nice zesty, tart citrus smell! I need more body lotion like I need a hole in my head but hey, sometimes you just gotta buy the inexpensive body lotion and enjoy it am I right?
Jergens Skin Smoothie Body Lotion are available now at drugstores or Walmart.
Grab ’em up for a cheap thrill!
Run don’t walk and grab yourself some of the new Garnier Fructis Plumping Treat Shampoo and Conditioner! Heck, go crazy and get the Garnier Fructis Watermelon Extract Plumping Treat 3-in-1 Hair Mask too! I promise you won’t regret it.
I went to the evil empire about two weeks ago because something inside me told me I needed to find those Pioneer Woman Cutlery Prep Knives and make them mine. You see, when the pandemic hit a few things happened! I suddenly became even more of a clean-a-holic than ever before. I mean I’ve always been super tidy and super neat but when the pandemic hit and I was stock inside for long periods of time I was super cleaning and reorganizing everything. I think I broke my boyfriend at one point because I was in his home office every five minutes picking up after him and cleaning his desk off. I also think I organized the pantry about 200 times since this all went down.
Also, during this time I became addicted to the Pioneer Woman’s weird and wonky collection at Walmart. Anyway, I ended up at Walmart to grab that prep knife set and of course, you can’t go to the evil empire without browsing the beauty section so of course, I was digging around there too!
That’s when I came across Garnier’s new Watermelon Haircare and of course, into the cart it went. Oh my gosh this stuff reminds me of high school and washing my hair with different scented White Rain Shampoo and Conditioners that smelled like green apple and other yummy fruits. I remember getting so many compliments on the scent of my hair back in senior year. Do they even make White Rain anymore!?
Anyway, Garnier’s new Watermelon Haircare is created for finer hair as it adds volume to limp locks. I already have super thick, wavy hair so, this isn’t exactly formulated for me but I still picked it up and actually love it. It smells just like watermelon which makes it a refreshing treat to use in the Summer during the warmer weather! It’s available in shampoo, conditioner, and a deep hair mask! Just be careful with the hair mask if you have thicker, fuller hair as it does make your hair go all puffy and big! I didn’t experience that when using the regular shampoo and the conditioner but the hair mask is pretty volumizing!
I don’t really like Spring nor Summer as I’m a Fall baby but I eager for the warm weather to get here and this little hair treat is a great way to hurry things along with the long lasting scent of yummy watermelon in your hair.
Anyone try these?
