Smashbox Bronze Lights in Suntan Matte Review

Smashbox Bronze Lights in Suntan Matte

Hello my beauties :) Today I will review my current favorite bronzer, the Smashbox Bronze Lights in Suntan Matte and I got this bronzer in the Smashbox best sellers kit. This one has 3g of product while the full size has, I think, 8g of product. I haven't tried any smashbox products before this is one of my first products from them and I'm really impressed with it!

The packaging of the small size Smashbox Bronze Lights in Suntan Matte, the one I have, is completely different from the full size one. Mine is black,plastic with kinda soft rubber feeling when you touch it while the full size one is coppery, goldish kinda color with metallic finish. Personally I kinda prefer the black packaging.

The Smashbox Bronze Lights in Suntan Matte isn't very opaque, when applied with brush is has light - medium coverage but it's very buildable. The color is medium brown and of course,as the name says, it has matte finish which makes it perfect for contouring because you don't really want to contour with shimmery bronzer! Because it isn't very opaque it will work great with light - medium skins but I wouldn't say that this would work good as bronzer for darker skin tones.

This fits me perfectly and it is the perfect color to contour with. I love the fact that it's not too opaque because I have more control of the amount I apply,besides it's always easier to add more than to remove! The only "negative" thing I can say is that it fades kinda fast, on me it lasts for about 3-4 hours and then it starts to fade but I think that the foundation you use will affect how long it will stay on since you apply it over the foundation! Also because the first ingredient is Talc, in the packaging, the bronzer has talc kinda smell but don't worry, when you apply it you won't smell anything!

Overall I love love this bronzer and I'm definitely thinking of buying the full size but it is quite pricey,$29. I would definitely suggest it to anyone with light-medium skin.

ELF HAUL/1ST ELF ORDER

So after doing a search on the internet i came across this brand,ELF,im sure pretty much all of you already know it if not already using their products.
Im a university student,currently dont have a job,so i found elf to be a good make up brand for me since i was looking for quality products on low prices.
I order from elf when they had 40% off and that make my order even better deal that i could imagine :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Έτσι μετά από  μια αναζήτηση στο διαδίκτυο βρήκα αυτή τη μάρκα, ELF, είμαι βέβαιη ότι λίγο πολύ όλοι σας την γνωρίζετε ήδη, μπορεί και να χρησιμοποιείτε ήδη τα προϊόντα τους.
Είμαι φοιτητής πανεπιστημίου, επί του παρόντος δεν έχω μια δουλειά, έτσι βρήκα ELF να είναι μια καλή μάρκα με προϊόντα μακιγιάζ για μένα, αφού έχουν ποιοτικά προϊόντα σε χαμηλές τιμές.
Παρήγγειλα το ELF, όταν είχαν 40% έκπτωση κάτι που έκανε την παραγγελία μου ακόμα καλύτερη ευκαιρία από οτι  θα μπορούσα να φανταστώ

Heres what i bought from ELF

Elf studio bronzer in Warm - £3.50
Elf studio high definition powder - £6.00
Elf mineral eyeshadow primer - £3.00
Elf Liquid Eyeliner in black&stardust - £1.50 each
Elf Wet Gloss Lash And Brow Clear Mascara - £1.50
Elf Mechanical Eyelash Curler - £1.50

I also bought some of their brush, i'm gonna list them down below and in later blog post will do a review for each of them

Elf studio blush brush - £3.50
Elf studio complexion brush - £3.50
Elf studio small angled brush - £3.50
Elf studio small precious brush - £3.50
Elf studio stipple brush - £3.50
Elf eyeshadow brush - £1.50

Overall my experience with ELF was good ,if i remember well the package came in less than 5 days , which is a good standar delivery time , all the items where i perfect condition , nothing was broke.

I would totally recomend to check this brand out since it has good quality products . They ,also, do regularly offers such as 40% or 50% off 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Η συνολική εμπειρία μου με το ELF ήταν καλή, αν θυμάμαι καλά το δέμα ήρθε σε λιγότερο από 5 ημέρες, είναι ένας καλός χρόνος παράδοσης σε standar delivery,όλα τα πράγματα ήταν σε άριστη κατάσταση, τίποτα δεν έσπασε.Θα ήθελα να συστήσω αυτή την μάρκα σε όλους, δεδομένου ότι έχει καλής ποιότητας προϊόντα και κάνουν συχνα προσφορές όπως 40% ή 50% έκπτωση
