Bronzed Momma!

Booty Parlor's Flirty Little Secret - Firming Bronzer w/ Pheromones



I wasn't sure what to expect with Booty Parlor bronzer. The only product I was familiar with from their line was the Turn Me On Vibrating Panties!

After trying it out though I can say the bronzer does last pretty long, has a good amount of shimmer, is darker toned, and did not rub off. All plusses! Add to the fancy factor it has added pheromones! Va Vooooom! I was asked by Bloom to monitor any extra attention I received while wearing the bronzer and I did notice some extra attention when I was out.......but I was also at a beach bar with some girlfriends so the boys beer goggles and the bikini top I was wearing may have added to it : ) However I'd like to think it was all in the power of the bronzer.


You can purchase the Booty Parlor Bronzer in a 4.5oz size for $32.00 at Bloom.com.

Pretty in Purple

Stila in the Moment Eye Shadow Palette

Stila Eye Shadow Palettes. In the Moment and In the Garden

Love Stilla's Moment Eye colors! With my blond hair and blue eyes the purple really pops for me. I used catalyst as a liner which I love, love, love, and would buy that on its own. Also plumped my lashes with my favorite mascara, Dior Show. I love that the palatte comes with semi neutral colors as well. Its a great value and portable. My tip is the shadows were very light when dry, so I dampened my brush when I applied to make them bolder.

You can buy Stila's palettes and check out the other color options available at Bloom.com for $39.00.


This is wet shadow for a bolder look

I don't really have much to say for these wipes : /
Not a big fan. They did an awesome job of getting my foundation off but it took two cloths to get my mascara off. Though I did use waterproof Dior Show and that sh*t does not budge! It took some serious rubbing which I don't like to do. The cloth stung my skin too! I like that they are natural and organic, free of impurities but it may be all that citrus that is making my skin burn. I normally use Ole Henriksen Truth to Go wipes which you can find on Bloom.com at a slighty better price (Ole $6/10 wipes, $15/30 wipes vs. Kaia $18/30 wipes).

BLOOM CHALLENGE! With a full face of make up use a Kaia wipe to remove the make up from 1/2 of the face. Be warned it is not pleasant!

Had to use 2 wipes!

Pacifica-wesome!

Hey Hey fellow beauty addicts and product junkies. This month Bloom.com mailed me an ambassador package full of sweet smelling products to make my skin soft, sexy, and sun kissed. First thing I found when I opened my package PACIFICA:

SEXY! I almost didn't want to open it!
I wish you could scratch 'n' sniff this pic!
Just when I thought the packaging couldn't get any better I opened the box to find a surprising amount of products. First thing you'll notice is the awesome scent. Seriously the smell is amazing; the combination of vanilla, coconut, and blood orange body butters creates this powerful sweet smelling scent bomb that just explodes in your face when you open the box. I am so happy I got to spend my weekend playing with all the products below.

It's moisturizing and quenching feeling and left my skin feeling soft for longer than most moisturizers. I like the shimmery sparkles – wasn’t expecting that … but I don’t use bronzer often and I honestly didn't realize it was a bronzer at first....my bad : ) It's actually not as dark as your average bronzer. Pleasant coconut smell not too strong but I wouldn't mind some extra coconut. The 2oz size is perfect for travel and would be a must on any vacation especially one to a tropical destination. This lotion would compliment the perfect post vaca tan as well. You can buy the full size 8oz product for $24.
Moisturizing and slightly oily feeling but not overwhelming. It left my skin feeling slightly tacky at first but that cleared up after a few minutes. I LOVE the citrus smell!!! The lotion is thick and takes a minute to absorb but I do enjoy the extra massage I give myself using this after my shower. My skin is on the drier side and it made me feel hydrated and soft. I think this is a lotion I could get used to using! P.S. I love that it is natural! The full 8oz size can be bought for $18. It also comes in Indian Coconut Nectar, which I was able to try I wasn't as impressed with the scent but the feel of the lotion is the same.
I know it says “Big Moisture” but I think its average. When I think of “Big Moisture,” I think of quenching, penetrating, and softening moisture. Pacifica just feels like the typical kind of lip balm of which just covers the lip with an oily film. Although its a very cute long lasting oily film!
Coconut Nectar Lips
Overall, this particular balm with the cocoa butter does feel like how raw cocoa butter feels on my lips. Mild coconut fragrance, as I have noticed on their other coconut products. It is a generous amount of lip balm, which is always nice! One problem I find is that there is no sunscreen in the balm; some SPF content would be nice. I like that the packaging is recyclable and that the product is 100% vegan. I also like that a portion of proceeds is donated to support clean water. That is something I'd like to learn more about from Pacifica. The price of the balm is $9 which is a great price for the large amount you get. It comes in six colors on Bloom but I really like the coconut nectar color.
Pretty little glass roller bottle perfect for keeping in your purse and on the go. The initial smell off the bottle is overpowered with a small tinge of rubbing alcohol? Kind of off putting and distracting from the typical vanilla smell which comes after. On the skin the alcohol smell doesn’t exist and the fragrance is a nice sweet vanilla. For $12 you get .33oz of a sweet smelling perfume great for summer that is convenient and can slip in your purse, gym bag, or luggage.
