Since we had so much notice for the snowstorm did you make plans  - maybe some advance spring cleaning?  Cleaning jewelry is not fun but necessary and some of the silver needed it, esp pieces I have not worn in a while.  Even though I keep my silver in a 'tarnish safe keeper' some pieces need extra attention.  No I did not clean all of these - just the ones yelling the loudest!!
 I have a ton of  bronzers but I am testing out 2 new - to - me:
  Too Faced Bronzed & Poreless
This is a beautiful color and appears darker in the compact than when applied.  It is very finely milled and only a little bit of powder is required - you could certainly build on this but for me just a light swipe with a brush and it's done!

Physicians Formula  Bronze Booster Season to Season
I really like the 4 diff variations of color in this compact - I am using Winter and Spring.  These separately or combined will be perfect now and thru summer - for overall color and a little contouring.  I scraped off the little shimmer ball in the center because it is not necessary since there is a light sheen in the powder - but not to the point of glitter - also no odor or orange tone.

Here is a new entry into the bronzer field but have not been able to find it yet ~
 Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer Murumuru Butter Bronzer - Spring 2016
 Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer
Infused with Murumuru Butter, Cupuacu Butter and Tucuma Butter, this should be good for the skin. I am afraid this is going to be too shimmery for me but will give it a try when I find it - it might be a good choice as a base layer.

This Magic Mosaic in  Warm Beige / Light Bronzer has been a goodie for the past couple of years - I swirl it all together and use it all year.  I definitely use more bronzer than blush.

 I just placed an Ulta order - with 20% off & $6 cash rewards, I picked up some things I wanted to try and some oldie goldies:

 ColorStay Not Just Nudes Palette  Romantic

I can't wait to try this - should be perfect for spring & summer when you don't want to bother with foundation.

 If you are a stitcher the storm urges you to pull out something to work on:
As a daily migraineur, I may go months and not do one stitch and I regret how much time I have lost over the years.  I would like to do a new Christmas piece and as you can see, no stitches are in progress!  But if I let it sit there and keep looking at it, maybe, just maybe..........
I forced myself to complete this alphabet sampler when GD was on the way:
I like to think one day it might hang in her daughter's room.

  8. Visiting from ROI! :) I'm turning 40 and only now really getting back into makeup since my teen years. LOL I don't have any bronzers yet but will shop for one soon. :) Living in the Bahamas now and so far (having had the chance to really explore here) , makeup choices are limited (as are many other items) so I rather shop my favorite US stores online.

  13. Thanks for the tips. Bronzer can be tough sometimes because so many of them include glitter or shimmer. Thanks for adding your flair to the My Refined Style Linkup. See you next month!
