Seriously. You're truly a beauty blogger not just a makeup blogger. Btw I picked up the Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder 03 based on some comments you made about it over a year or two ago. LOL. At first I thought it was too light, but now I think I see what you meant. It totally warmed up my face w/o adding any obvious color. I put a lot more on today, but it doesn't look heavy, dirty, or orange. I thinking I made a good investment. Have you tried shade 05? Is there another bronzer you recommend like the 4 seasons?

I haven't tried shade 05... YET!

I LOVE 03... it's so subtle and with just enough shimmer to be 'radiant' instead of 'sparkly.' 01 is my go to for an all over face powder. You know, I have to be the only person on earth who was not a massive fan of 4-seasons. It's just OKAY to me. I used to love Golden Light Bronzer from MAC, but they stopped making it. I have an old one that still has the smallest rim of product around the edges. I refuse to throw it out! Bobbi Brown makes a killer bronzing powder that doesn't go too 'orange' on me. You might like her version as well. I use Medium Soft Tan.

Thank you. If I keep loving 03 I may seek out 01 as well. I'm traveling to some larger cities in February so maybe I'll be able to find a counter for both BB and Guerlain. BB is at the outlet down the road so I'll try to remember to check there, too.

You're welcome! It's really kind of hard to go wrong with Bobbi Brown. That makeup is kind of fool proof.

That's the way you do it, Medgal!
Unfortunately my guy is cheap. Comes from a cheap family. He was a farm kid. I'm kind of the city girl. Over the years he's realized that nice quality isn't a bad thing and I've seen his tastes evolve for sure with the more things I've exposed him to. The good news is he doesn't really get on me about what I spend on certain things. He just wouldn't choose to spend his own money on it. He knows I do a lot of research on items before I buy them and for the most part respects my choices. He would have buy the lipstick if I insisted, but being a grown woman I didn't feel like repeating myself so I just said forget it. LOL. I'm not like that everyday. In this case I didn't want to ask twice for a Christmas present - in essence begging. He did say he was thinking about getting me jewelry for Christmas though.

I REALLY like Golden Light on really fair to medium fair skin. Double check and make sure it doesn't pull too 'yellow' on you though. I find it very warm and neutral, but it's best to be absolutely sure.

Happened tonight. I told him I wanted CR lippie and it cost $50. "$50 for a lipstick? Geez you're expensive!" Asks me what I want and then complains. I tell ya... that's why I just buy for myself. Diamonds?! You love some you! I say treat yourself you're worth it.

Awww-- contrare---it's just a nice way of saying cheap!

He hates when I use the word, and he denies being cheap.
Then he makes an effort to prove me wrong. So, who's the shrink in the family? He is by profession---I am in practice.

I'm thinking about getting Guerlain bronzer #5 but #3 seems to have a bit of a cult following so I need to look at that one as well.

I don't care for the 4 seasons bronzers although they have a loyal following as well.

What's your skintone? I suppose it depends how deep you want the coloring. On me #3 isn't deep at all. Just slightly brown and warm.

In MAC terms I'm probably NC/NW 42.

I don't want deep color but I do want a "glow" and for it to be noticeable on my cheeks.

I canceled my BO of Wicked & just re-ordered it from a store so that I'm sure to get it. I also ordered Frantic Pink after Cafemakeup raved about it. I REALLY want Narcissist
