I'm by no means a professional makeup artist but that doesn't stop me from adding to my collection. Today, I'm going to share with you one of my favorite beauty items: bronzer. I love bronzer, not to make me tanner, but to add a natural glow to my face, as well as even out my skin tone, especially during the summer time. Here are my favorite bronzers. 

The first one is from Victoria's Secret. It's called Mega Glow Bronzer in the color Medium Deep.

I believe that it came in only one, lighter shade. What I love about this Bronzer is the color. It's natural, matte and has no sparkles or shine, which is really hard to find. It goes on seamlessly and flawlessly on the skin. The only downside, and the reason I don't use it as much, is because it comes off so easily. I was resting my head on my sleeve and it completely rubs off. There is a NARS Bronzer called Laguna that looks similar, just slightly lighter, that I am thinking of trying out.

The next one is from Tarte. It's called Amazonian Clay Bronzer in the color Park Avenue Princess

The name, by the way, totally suits the inner Blair Waldorf in me. This Bronzer is amazing because it's a great color. Though it has some shine to it, it's not overpowering. I love it because I use it to add glow to my face and even out my complexion after a day in the sun. I'm in desperate need of a new one!

The last Bronzer I'm going to show you guys is from Calvin Klein. The color is 100 Softly Glowing.

As you can see from the empty righ hand side, I kind of love it. The great thing about this compact is that it is a duo, which is fantastic. (The blush colored side is also on my list of my favorite blushes.) Calvin Klein makeup is sold exclusively at Ulta, I believe, and let me tell you, I llove their products. This compact is half cream Bronzer, half powder blush. The fact that the Bronzer is cream really allows it to blend evenly into your skin so it looks like you're not wearing anything. 

My first item is a sweater/top that I got from H&M. Let me start off by saying that I am super picky when it comes to clothes, especially shirts. I love something with sleeves and that is flowy, but at the same time doesn't make you look boxy or too big because it is oversized. Well, I found the perfect shirt from H&M. It's long sleeve, but it's very thin so it's perfect for summer nights, throwing over a swim top at the beach or even for casual everyday wear. I love it to death. I bought it about 2 months ago for the first time in white and I fell in love. So on my last trip to H&M, I saw it again and I snatched up every color it came in. Oops! Shopaholic problems? Maybe. But I know that I will use them a lot because it's something I know I already love.

The next thing I chose also comes in multiples, kind of. Let me explain. I love hiking. It's a great form of exercise, plus I can hang out with friends, view beautiful scenery, and relax while doing so. And every hike needs a cute outfit, and nothing is better than a pretty shirt with a catchy saying on it. With that being said, I chose graphic tanks from Victoria's Secret as my second item.

These two are my favorites by far!

 You can find out more about them and see other options in my upcoming blog post, so stay tuned!! And I mean, how could you pass up on a shirt that says I hate running. That describes me perfectly. Not only are these shirts cute, but there are extremely soft and comfortable as well. You can even wear them as a casual outfit. I absolutely love them. Make sure to check back for my blog post on these graphic tanks to see more fun stuff that I bought!

Another item I obsessed over in June was the stippling brush from the Real Techniques collection.

I've been wanting this brush for months now and I finally had time to stop into Ulta and buy it. It's amazing! It works great and I love how it leaves my skin looking flawless. This entire collection of brushes is amazing. The Real Techniques brush collection is by Sam & Nic Chapman. They're two sisters who are professional makeup artists and beauty vloggers on YouTube under the name Pixiwoo. They are amazing and talented so I expected nothing less from their brushes. And let me tell you, I've never been more satisfied with a purchase. The bristles are soft to the touch and feel even better on your face. They apply makeup evenly and smoothly so that it looks like a professional did your makeup. Can't wait to purchase more items from this line!

My last favorite for June is the book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I know it's nothing new, but it is one of my favorite books of all time. I can't read it enough. Anything F. Scott Fitzgerald writes is amazing. So, if for some reason you didn't read this book in school or when the movie came out or in general because it's amazing, you should. It's a great read, not too long and I promise you will love it.
