Summer Shopping!

I haven't shopped beauty much since summer hit, feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff I apparently have and never use. All of a sudden, I decided to pick up a few things, and I couldn't escape the Space NK deal that was on Gilt at the beginning of the month.

I thought I would share it all with you in a video, despite the gloomy weather and having packed away my lights. Hopefully this isn't too horrible, and please excuse my lopsided eyeshadow, HA!

Apologies for the poor lighting - the weather is gloomy and I've packed up my lights somewhere. And, I'm quite amused by my lopsided eyeshadow! :-P BLOG - bronzerbunny.com TWITTER - twitter.com/bronzerbunny INSTAGRAM - instagram.com/bronzerbunny Gummy's Post feat.

The Makeup Show: Thoughts & Purchases!

Last weekend, Gummy and I attended The Makeup Show in Chicago! I've always wanted to attend, and this year we finally decided that we just had to go. We were both super excited to see Charlotte Tilbury and Hakuhodo in person, and I think we had a great day of shopping overall! 

Check out this video to hear more about our trip and see what I ended up buying!

There's something about Spring (or the hope of it) that gets me in a shopping frenzy. Who am I kidding, I always like to shop, though I had been a little more restrained over the last few months...

NYC Beauty Purchases

I spent a few days in NYC eating and shopping my way through the city. I definitely had fun revisiting old favorites and spending time with old friends! 

Fortunately for my wallet, I was relatively restrained with my purchases. Take a peek!

L-R: Aesop Parsley Seed Cleansing Masque, Aesop Reverence Aromatique Hand Balm, Aesop Rosehip Seed Lip Cream, Aesop Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser Sample, Aesop Skincare Samples

I managed to visit two Aesop stores during my trip, and I really wish there were more Aesop boutiques around the country. I snapped a few pics on Instagram, but I have to say that I just love the aesthetic of the boutiques and the friendly SA's that helped me.

I also discovered a few new to me products - Tuberose Lip Heal, apparently coming soon in new packaging, Damascan Rose Treatment, a lovely facial oil, and Ginger Flight Therapy, an aromatherapy treatment for nausea and motion sickness. They've definitely landed in my wishlist!

L-R: Bite Beauty Lipstick Samples, Bite Beauty Custom Lipstick & excess product in pot

I also stopped by the Bite Beauty Lip Lab in Soho and created my own custom lip color! I think it was my lucky day, as not only was it not busy (unlike the first time I tried to go) but the SA accidentally made too much product and put the excess in a pot for me. Plus she threw in some mini lipsticks from Bite's regular range! Don't worry, I do plan to do a post on the lipstick making experience as well as a review of my custom lipstick. :)

Can you believe that is all the beauty stuff I splurged on? My best friend did gift me with Diptyque goodies and many other fun little tidbits from her adventures that you may see popping up here soon, but other than that the only other things I bought were tea from Les Palais des Thes and tea accessories from Pearl River Mart. I also fell for an adorable pouch at Alexander Wang that turned out to be an accessory for Beats earbuds, so in the end I didn't end up getting them. I may regret it later but I have to say I showed remarkable restraint! Ha!

What do you think about my NYC beauty purchases? Are any of these goodies on your wishlist? I'd love to know! :)
