Bronze blast!

What do you love most about your favourite bronzer? Is it the warmth it gives to winter skin? The honey-coloured hue? I think my favourite thing about bronzers is their versatility – the options seem endless! See below for my best bronzed out multitasking tips! 

1) Mix a little of your favorite bronze hue   with your go-to moisturizer or body oil in your palms. Then smooth onto legs, arms, and décolletage for a homemade faux tan glow.

2) For a super quick pick-me-up that will   leave you looking groomed with minimal effort, sweep bronzer over cheek, brow and jaw bones and then dust the leftover powder on the brush over eye lids. It’s a quick complexion warm-up that doubles as eye definition in an instant! 

3) Mix some of your favorite bronze hue in with a clear nail polish to create your own bronze-hued nail glaze. 

4) Swap your face powder for the Double Duty Bronzer gently swooped over complexion. The formula’s oil-controlling agent keeps the skin shine-free while hyaluronic acid treats & gently exfoliates as you wear it. 

  

Bronze-out eyes and add a warm, soft sheen to skin with the help of our best-selling Double Duty Bronzer and honey-hued Bright Up Your Life Palette in Naturally Bare. A bright pink lip sings of spring & summer and complements the glowing bronze hues perfectly! Follow below steps to recreate this look!

1. After cleansing, toning, and moisturizing, apply a coin sized amount of Zero Shine Prime onto complexion with  clean fingertips (as you would a moisturizer). Blend this treatment paste evenly onto skin for a mattifying effect that evens out the skintone & lasts all day. 

2. Next, dip a big fluffy brush into the bronze side of the Double Duty Bronzer and buff softly onto the cheek bone, jawbone & forehead. Follow by applying the peachy pigment (from the other half of Double Duty Bronzer) onto apples of the cheeks. Blend well. 

3. For a soft, smooth, eye-enhancing bronze glow, start by framing the outer corners of the upper lids with the deepest hue in the Naturally Bare palette. Follow by smoothing one of the medium bronze hues onto the outer corner of the lid, into the crease (and slightly above) and blend until seamless – smooth the same hue into outer corner of the lower lash line. Next, apply the honey-coloured hue from same palette to the inner corner of the eyes, creating a triangle of brightness on the inner corner of the upper and lower lid.   

4. Apply No Clump Comb Mascara, coating each lash carefully. Let dry before applying 2-3 more layers.  

5. Last but not least, the POP punch! Apply the Plump Pout in Fuchsia Freesia onto lips with precision using the applicator provided. Kiss off excess onto a paper napkin and apply one more layer.

Create a perfect complexion with POP’s CC cream!

What is a CC cream, and how is it used? What makes a CC cream different from a BB cream or a regular foundation?

Today I want to focus on the amazing effects of using a great CC cream and tell you a little more about our amazing treatment formula – time to make your beauty routine quicker, more effective and better for you! 

http://popbeautycosmetics.com/Popbeauty_Products/Face/CC_Cream/Index.html

• CC stands for “Color Correction” – it’s designed to address issues like sallowness, redness and dullness in complexion. 
• Our CC Cream is packed with treatment aspects! It contains over 12 different flower extracts (like rose, jasmine, and daffodil, to name a few) & several nutrients that protect, perfect and hydrate your skin as you wear it.   
• “Fluffy” feather-light formula with ultra lightweight feel on the skin. 
• Revolutionary colour beads burst as you blend formula onto skin and magically adapt to your unique skintone! (Works best for  light to olive/medium skin tones.)  
• Eliminates the need for multiple products – CC Cream works as a skin treatment, moisturizer, primer & base, all rolled into one! 

Our CC cream goes on light in color, like a whipped, fluffy lotion. But as you work it into your skin, it starts to gradually change hue, eventually blending in perfectly with your unique complexion, brightening and evening out skintone in the process. It will look different on everybody as it adjusts specifically to the pH in your skin. No more hassling trying to find the right color base! This eliminates all the guesswork, as it looks flawless each and every time you apply!

Effects on the skin: Color-corrects, brightens, evens out skintone, adds a healthy-looking finish, treats, improves skin condition as you wear it, oh and did I mention it smells amazing too?

Here’s me before CC Cream application, and after – maybe now you understand why this miracle lotion is the first thing I reach for as I wake up in the morning? J

Application:

Apply onto clean skin.
Pump out a coin sized amount onto the back of your hand or straight onto the Buzzing Beauty Buffer sponge.

Next, press the little button on the side of the buffer to activate the vibrations. Follow by gently pressing the CC Cream into complexion using circular motions.

Start on the bridge of the nose and work outward towards the cheeks, chin and lastly the forehead. Keep building coverage until you have your desired effect.

The vibrations from the buffer will help blend the CC Cream evenly as it melts onto the skin, as well as giving the skin a gentle massage, stimulating the blood circulation, de-puffing and revitalizing the skin in an instant!

This ultimate skin combo will prove a real treat for deserving mums!

Our CC Cream blends flawlessly in with a wide range of complexions, as it magically adapts to each and every mother’s unique skin color (from very fair to medium/olive skintones). It treats skin as you wear it with over 12 different flower extracts (like rose, lily, daffodil – to name a few) – but this is much more fun then just buying a bunch of flowers!

The Buzzing Beauty Buffer is the most intelligent applicator out there, as it massages (yes, it vibrates) formulas into the skin. It will help heighten the performance of anything already in mother’s beauty bag. If you were wondering what to get her, look no further!
