Review: Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer

Hey everyone!
Oh my goodness... So I recently purchased the Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer and I just HAD to write a review about it for you all.

I'm going to be honest, the main reason I was so attracted to this bronzer at first is the packaging. Yes, I am a sucker for good packaging, and I feel like the rest of the drugstore brands need to step it up a little, because Physicians Formula always seems to get it right. I mean, look at this product? It reminds me a bit of Tarte packaging (for a fraction of the price!), so how could I resist?

Besides the pretty packaging, I was also attracted to this bronzer because of the colour. I am a pretty pale girl, so a lot of bronzers tend to be a bit dark on me, but this one seemed to be right up my alley. I was stuck between this one and the Bronzer Booster one, which I've heard so many good things about, but I decided to give this one a try first.
First things first, this stuff smells like coconuts. It is like summer in a compact and I'm loving it. If you're not crazy about scented makeup products or coconut scents, I'd probably skip this one. The scent doesn't linger around all day, but it is pretty intense when you first apply it. I do have sensitive skin and this didn't cause any kind of reaction on me, so that's another bonus!

Like the name implies, the formulation of this product is super smooth and buttery, and it does not come off orange or muddy on the skin at all. In fact, it gives you a really healthy glow (without any shimmers, it is a matte bronzer). It looks natural and realistic, which is what I love about it. It also has a good amount of pigmentation. It is not so pigmented that you need to be overly careful, but it does show up well on the skin and looks stunning. I've had issues in the past with some Physicians Formula products lacking pigmentation but this one is great.

Overall, I am incredibly pleased with this product. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially to those of you with fair skin because lord knows how difficult it is to find a good bronzer that doesn't make us look fake.

1 Year of Covid-19: A reflection

It feels like just yesterday we were all feeling the anxiety and uncertainty of a new disease that was spreading quickly around the world that no one truly understood yet. We were facing the first wave of cases, the fear of going outside and being around people and the first round of quarantines and restrictions. It feels like just yesterday, but also so long ago. I, and I am sure many others, am feeling a mix of emotions. Sad for the loss of comfort we once had. Grief for all the lives lost and permanently changed. Thankful for my health and that of my family. Gratitude for the scientists and frontline workers alike, working tirelessly behind the scenes I hope that one day we can return to a new normal. I hope that one day I'll be able to go to work and not feel afraid to get too close to my coworkers and patients. I hope that no one will ever again have to face the end of their lives all alone. I hope that no one has their life cut short because of...

Review: Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo

Hello there! So I've been on the hunt for a shampoo to tame my wild hair for ages, so I picked up this during my recent Lush visit in hopes that it would help with my thick, coarse, dry hair. According to Lush , this has: Stout to calm: For all hair types but especially beneficial for fluffy, hard-to-manage hair. Friend to all scalps: Yeast improves the health of the hair and scalp. For a polished finish: Organic lemon juice is a gentle cleanser that adds masses of shine and gloss. After using this for a little while now, I can say that I'm pretty much still on the fence about it. Pros: Though my hair is still a little frizzy, its definitely a bit better than it used to be. My hair is also softer to the touch and shinier. Cons: I've noticed my hair gets greasier a lot quicker since using this shampoo. I also feel as though it may be drying out my scalp, but it'll take a little more time to know for sure if its because of th...
