Top 3 Bronzers

I recently filmed and uploaded a video all about my top 3 bronzers that I am loving for the warmer months. These bronzers are great for transitioning our paler skin tone from winter to summer.

Make sure to check out my video here!

Physicians Formula makes some of the best bronzers at drugstore prices. You can always find them on sale at CVS buy one get one 1/2 off or recently at Rite Aid buy one get one FREE!!! This product reminds me a lot of Bobbi Brown's shimmer bricks and Dior's bronzer. I like using this for a subtle wash of color or highlight. The great thing is you can use the shades individually or swirl them together for different looks. 

My favorite makeup artist on set told me about this Bobbi Brown Bronzer in Natural. She told me to use this all over my face for a natural wash of color and pick me up. If i'm lazy and barely have time for anything I'll dust this all over for a bit of color, works great on my eyes too. 

This beloved Jouer bronzer in perfect tan is sadly no longer available. Jouer has a new one called sun tan that is very similar without the spf in it. I rarely hit pan on products, but this bronzer works year round on me and is a grey natural contour shade that works on so many skin tones. 

what are some of your favorite bronzers? Have you tried any of mine? 

Mint Green Obsessed

So I'm a little obsess with mint. With Spring in full swing and summer just around the corner I have been going on a mint buy obsession.

Here are some pictures to prove my new obsession. 

It's not just mint, I'm into pastels of all colors right now. From left to right: Romper Room, Spin the Bottle, Absolutely Shore, Fashion Playground

I wore Fashion Playground from Essie for most of March.

 Here I am meeting a fellow youtuber for the first time wearing surprise a mint tank top. 

I've been loving mint and teal eyeliner for a pop of color on the lids. You can watch the makeup tutorials on my youtube channel. 

This triangl bathing suit is to die for. The fabric is unlike any other suit and forms perfectly to the body in the most flattering way possible. 

I even picked up a mint Ted Baker London makeup bag and pencil case. Sunglasses are from Forever 21, perfect for a Spring day don't you think?

What are you obsessing over this spring season? Have you watched my makeup tutorial feating the Stila Smudge Stick in Turquoise yet? I have a new one coming out in a few days for a Beachy Tropical Look using Teal eyeshadow. 

Ready For Spring Nail Polish

Lately I've felt spring approaching slowly, the days are starting to get longer and the temperature here in L.A. is a balmy 75 degrees on average. My husband and I have even been able to get to our favorite hiking trail before dark. 

In anticipation, I like to lighten up my look with some pastels. The first pick and February favorite that will be live next week on youtube, make sure your subscribed to my channel (shameless plug) is the Zoya polish in Odette. I received the beautiful polish from ipsy. Even my husband loved the color. I found this muted light violet color to be the perfect transition color from winter to spring. The finish is nice and the pigmentation is better than most polishes out there. It's such a lovely classic color that works for both conservative and bold tastes. 

My next go to and even more of a sign that spring is approaching is Essie's Turquoise & Caicos. This is such a pretty turquoise color that reminds me of pools, beaches, and lemonade for whatever reason. I do find that I need 3 coat of this polish to get the pigmentation I want. 

I'm currently wearing this polish as I type out my post. For those that wonder how on earth I can type right after applying polish? Well I have to thank O.P.I.'s Rapid Dry combination pictured above. This stuff really works. Not my favorite top coat, but I use it a lot since i'm impatient and need my nails to be dried as fast as possible.

What is your favorite Spring nail polish? Any colors I should try from the new collections that have come out? Tweet me @sereinwu or leave a comment. Follow me on Instagram @sereinwu.
