About Leaving London,Home and Summer Tan - Chocolate Soleil Bronzer Review

Dear Summer you have been absolutely terrible at times and I am very glad my favourite season Autmn is on the doorstep to welcome me. However, where did the tan come from?

Hellooo you guys! Please skip down to the bronzer pictures if you only want to read the review




I know I have been promising a lot and didn't hold them. Yet please know I absolutely love this place and when I saw Sierra tweeting to me (which I usually never check!) I decided to finally get a grip and sit down and post.There have been many times when I started a post in the last few months but never really sent it off. It's incredible how one person can finally make you do it, right? Seeing her blog blossom into this beautiful thing since the last time I saw it, really inspires me to put more effort into the things I love and reactive my old dusty photoshop skills. Thank you so much dear! It was just a few lines but i hope you know that the timing was absolutely perfect and therefore meant a lot to me :)

So many things have changed the last few months, not all of them in a positive way. My gap year in London is over but I am very much glad I am going to Uni soon. But don't you worry my appetite for beauty products never decreased therefore I packed enough to review for the rest of the year until I return haha And we'll start off with my favourite Bronzer.

As a person that is not very much a fan of Summer (except for the wonderful mornings when the air is clear or the warm nights) I have to admit I didn't come out a lot during the day time, I prefered the nights i spent on my friends rooftop enjoying the view of London when the sun goes down. Therefore I didn't get a proper tan on my face which is usually the only pale part of my body haha. Thank God I purchased a little helper that has been on my wish list for more than 2 years and will help me conceal the lack of sun i got this season.

 REVIEW: Too Faced Chocolate Soleil
The reason I absolutley love this Bronzer is that it's MATTE. I had lots of different Bronzers, some really good ones but they were all glowy, which is great from time to time but I was looking for one that would help me contour my face and non-existing cheekbones without looking orange and unnatural. It's extremely pigmented and therefore absolutely perfect for contouring and gives you a very natural looking tan.

I usually use the MAC #168 Brush to contour my the cheekbones. It goes perfectly with the Bronzer, which is really easy to build up, putting up the layers of intensity.
When my needs simply needs colour I like using the Real Techniques Stippling Brush to dust it over my cheeks and my forehead, as the hair of the brush is a little bit more solid (if you know what i mean :D) and therefore doesn't take as much product as the MAC one would.



All in all I really love it, it has become one of my everyday-products. I know everyone was rambling about the Hoola-Bronzer by Benefit for a while but i must say I like the intensity of my Chocolate Soleil a lot better. And the best - it does not only smell of delicious Milk-Chocolate but it also taste very sweet. Not that I am encouraging you to eat it...Not that I intentionally tried it :D I happened to inhale with my mouth while I put ot on my face haha

Wow that was a very very very long post. I don't really think you got until here but if you did that's wonderful! Thank you very much for reading!

Rimmel Haul Part II: Face

Hello there!! as I've promised here the Second part of my rimmel haul a few days ago :)

It is going to be about the "Face"-products I've purchased and (unfortunetely) only includes 2 products again. These two are truly amazing and are very useful though, so stay tuned! I promise the third and last part will be alot bigger!

1. STAY MATTE Foundation (201 Classic Beige)
It supposedly contains "chamomille to calm, cucumber to help clarify and cotton to help shine control". These three ingredients are honestly said the main reason why I purchased this foundation because I have super oily skin and ingredients like cucumber and chamomille (also green tea by the way!) help a lot to mattify your skin and keep the oil production under control. It is very light and almost feels (and also the package looks) like a BB-Cream. It gives a lot more coverage though (picture below!) and lasts for hours. I think it's perfect for summer when it's too hot to use a heavy foundation because your skin produces too much oil.



2. NATURAL BRONZER (021 Sun Light)
Now this bronzer is VERY true to its name. If you are looking for something that would make your face look sunkissed without looking overbronzed this product is perfect for you. I like to apply this bronzer with my kabuki-brush and just contour my face. You can't even see that you are wearing bronzer, yet your face will look contoured and  naturally sunkissed, which I think is very important when you wear bright lipsticks. Being overbronzed and wearing a bright lipstick could make you look like a potential candidate for jersey shore *cough* I really love using this for my face and add a darker bronzer on my cheeks to contour the cheekbones. It also has SPF :)

I just realized I've been wearing this shirt everytime I take pictures haha but no seriously it's not the only outfit I own! don't worry! :D

I hope this post was somewhat helpful :) ! Are you going to try these two babies? Also don't forget to check out Part I..Click HERE
