I am in the shade mocha mami. This product is so velvety and blends into the skin beautifully! It gives me the perfect bronze look without being too red.

I have been loving this product for the hotter days. It feels so light weight but still provides great coverage. It blends into the skin so well, and works well with all my other products. I mix colors 338 and 368 for my perfect shade.
Super Stay 24-Hour Skin Tint with Vitamin C

Definitely a holy grail for me. I love this product. It's full coverage but doesn't feel heavy or look cakey. The shade range is incredible. You can add a little foundation and build up to the look you want. Wears ALL day even through sweat.

Love that this CC cream has SPF- it's perfect for summer! It lasts all day even through sweat and oil. It doesn't clog my pores, and my skin likes this product.

First cream bronzer I actually like!! This bronzer is perfect for my skintone and blends so nicely. I haven't found a cream bronzer that works with my skintone, and I'm so happy I found this!

I am obsessed with this product! I have the colorway “Cabana Club.” A little goes a long way with this product. This color is perfect for summer and provides a gorgeous glow and swash of color. I love layering the powder over the cream.

So pigmented and beautiful. They also smell good. They blend into the skin so easily and are perfect for over a liquid blush.

The color “date cake” is the perfect fall cream blush color for darker skin tones. It's warm and pigmented. It's also very buildable which I appreciate. This has been added into my everyday wear collection.

I love how long this makes my eyelashes. The brush also helps really seperate my lashes so they don't stick together.
