Accessorize With Love Golden Sand Baked Bronzer



Judging by the reviews I have stumbled across online, it is safe to say that the general consensus of the baked products by Accessorize have been positive. I bought one of their bronzers (even though I am not normally interested in bronzing products) because I thought Golden Sand would make an excellent highlighter. So far I have been loving it: the texture is excellent, the payoff is excellent, and each compact contains 12.5g of product. There are a lot of excellent highlighters available nowadays, but speaking as someone with large pores and oily skin, I am extremely fussy about what kinds of shimmer I use on my face. Even infamous highlighters like Christian Dior Shimmer Powder and Becca Shimmering Skin Perfecter - both of which I like and would absolutely recommend - are a little bit on the sparkly side if I am being really picky. Golden Sand gives more of a peachy shimmery sheen to the skin - I can barely detect individual particles of shimmer even after vigorous blending. Golden Sand is a fantastic highlighter shade for medium to possibly darker skin tones, but it may be too peachy for those with pale complexions.

Price: £6/12.5g

Ingredients: Mica, Talc, Nylon 12, Parafinum Liquidum, Dimethicone, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77491/2/9, CI 77499, CI 77491/2/9

Nails of The Day : Accessorize Illusion Purple Dream



Purple Dream, a glittery purple and blue duo-chrome is one of the nail polishes I picked up from the new Accessorize makeup line. I used three coats here with no top coat (I confess I rarely use topcoats) and it holds up well with no major chips even after a few days of wear. The Accessorize nail polish range is fairly extensive with nearly 50 nail polishes divided into 5 subcategories (Exotic Brights, With Love, Illusion, Je T'aime, and Rock Star). I have never been a huge fan of glitter nail polishes, but the 'Illusion' ones are pretty great for £4, and I will most likely be picking up more.
