The Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronze Collection.

Oh, how I long for a collection like this. Bobbi Brown knows how we love to look illuminated and bronzed and does it in a way like no one else can. With her exclusive formulas and micro pearls, these are the best.

The Illuminating Bronze Collection from Bobbi contains a must-have Shimmer Brick for Body and a new Illuminating Bronzing Powder in six shimmering shades.

Shimmer Brick for Body can be used anywhere you want a bit of color and subtle glow. Sweep it over shoulders, chest, even arms and legs for sexy gams. The compact is larger than normal and contains three colors to be swept together. Of course her Body Brush will give you the perfect mix and even glow.

Illuminating Bronzer Powder is a light-weight silky blend of sheer powder and micro pearls. The look is very sheer and natural and can never be over done. There are six shades ranging from a coral, to apricot, pink, and your basic bronzer - bronzy shades as well.

Stop by your favorite Bobbi Brown counter or shop online where they have the collection up and ready for your viewing pleasure. I need to see the bronzer shades up close and in person to figure out which shade (or two) I need.

Could it be Supernatural? Hourglass Waterpoof Bronzer.

Seems I have bronzers on the mind. When looking for some long-wear makeup that would hold up under extreme conditions, I came upon this Waterproof Bronzer. Actually, Supernatural Waterproof Bronzer and it is from Hourglass Cosmetics. I don't think a name could be more appropriate.

I need to try this to see how it lasts. There is nothing worse than sweating and having my face become a mess in an instant as it runs down my cheek and streaking my bronzer along the way. It is not an easy fix, either.

An extended-wear, waterproof bronzer that withstands high humidity and extreme moisture.

This bronzer, like all of the Hourglass Cosmetics line, is free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes and fragrances. It leaves me wondering what is actually in it that makes a powder become so resistant to water and such.

You can bet I will be investigating and reporting back on this Supernatural beauty soon. Right now, it looks to be available in just one shade called Mirage, which is said to be a matte golden tan. Stay tuned and be sure to speak up if you have tried this yet.
