Summer Lovin' - Bronzed Babe

I have a love/hate with Bronzer.

And it's always been more hate than love. I know I should embrace it.

Bronzer's seem to make me look red, sunburnt instead of sunkissed.

And some have a ridiculous amount of glitter so I look like I've stepped off a parade float than a boat.

But.

I have found my Holy Grail of bronzer.

The Face Of Australia Pressed Bronzer has changed my opinion of bronzers.

Swatch One is shown over natural skin, Swatch Two over Primer

Positives:

- The Price, with a RRP of $11.95 you can't go wrong. I have actually bought a second one which now lives in my beach bag.

- Buildable. This starts out light and you can build it up to your preferred colouring. No orange boom.

- Sturdy. Seriously. My makeup bag accompanies me around all day from meeting to meeting. It gets hammered. A lot of products fall apart under that stress, not this one, as you can see from above. Aside from the pretty matte packaging having a few grubby foundation marks, not a crack in the product.

Cons:

- The sparkles.

This won't have you looking all Cullen-esque but still, its borderline for the amount of shimmer I can take, I wouldn't team this with a shimmery eye or lip.

- The Packaging.

I prefer shiny to matte when it comes to makeup packaging because I get tan/foundation marks on everything, and the shinier it is, the easier it is to wipe off.

Face of Australia Pressed Powder can be purchased from Priceline, Kmart, Big W or selected pharmacies.

As stated above, I have repurchased this product since I first recieved it.

Confession time, dear readers.

I have never, ever, in my life, been to the races.

I lose money every year in the Melbourne Cup - sweeps, not actual tickets because I don't know how to place ACTUAL bets.

I have been to Flemington, for my sisters wedding reception, but never while there were actual living, breathing, racing, stinking, scary horses running around.

I had a Shetland pony as a kid, for a few months. Don't even remember it's name. Yep - didn't even like that one.

Rode a horse in Vanuatu for 5 minutes. It's name was Britney. It was crazy too. Tried to send me over the side of a cliff because it wanted some over the side of the cliff grass. I may or may not of called it "Glue" and refused to get back on.

See? petrified!

But I do love a good fascinator/hatinator.

Especially after the Royal Wedding - I was one of the few who actually LIKED Beatrices's Phillip Treacy Fascinator - I think if she had of worn it on her head, rather than her forehead it would of made a huge difference in the popularity stakes*

I wish I could get away with wearing them on a daily basis, they are so much fun, so fab, and add oomph to any outfit!

So, when David from Fashion Addict told me on twitter, he had one named after me, I was STOKED! 

Gosh I am a lucky blogger.

And he could not have chosen a more "me" fascinator if he tried. I die.
