Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder Moisturizing & Long Lasting in 01

Hi!!! :)

I realize it's been quite a while since I last posted. :P Sorry, I've been too preoccupied with other stuff. Anyway, I'm back haha! :)

I need to go through my backlog folder and post some new posts. I have also discovered a new restaurant just a block away from where I live. O.o I haven't tried eating there yet but I will very soon! It's called Cafe Roces. Has anyone tried eating there yet?

Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder Moisturizing & Long Lasting in 01

SRP - 2,598.00 Php

Comes in an elegant and beautiful round compact. 

The pan is quite big - there appears to be a lot of product inside.

Swatch.

Swatch on NC30 skin.

This is the first bronzer that I bought and have kept because I like the healthy glow that it gives my skin. It gives a sun-kissed glow without being overly done so. I also use this for contouring as it is not to shimmery like some bronzers are.

The powder is finely milled and goes on smoothly. It is easy to blend - it blends so well that one may think that she needs to apply some more but it shows up in pictures so please do take note of that.

I wish Guerlain included a brush since this one didn't come with any applicator. Overall I really like the it, although I cannot compare it to other ones since this is my first bronzer.

The only other downside I can think of is the price which some people may not be too keen on. 

PS : I have broken out so badly. :( I have never broken out like this for the past 5 years. I know I promised to do a drugstore makeup tutorial but please bear with me for a while longer. 

Killing 4 birds with 1 stone + bronzing noob on the loose! :P

I agree - I shouldn't think of titles for blog entries as I always come up with pretty lame ones. :P

I haven't done a FOTD for quite a while so I'll post one now, so  you can see how all the recent products I have posted about look like when applied on. :)

Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder Moisturizing & Long Lasting in 01

Have you noticed that product names seem to be getting longer lately? Or is it just me..? O.o

Before you see my FOTD, I feel that I must inform you that this is my first time to use a bronzer. :P I actually had bought many drugstore bronzers which I have never touched. I find that most drugstore bronzers are so shimmery and kind of look intimidating so I use them as eyeshadows LOL! :P

This is sort of a first time for me ok? :3

Also, I would like to note that I did not look like a toasted beach bum in real life and my camera seems to be exaggerating the bronzed look for reasons I do not know. :/ This looks so much natural and prettier in real life. I will have to deal with my cameras settings one of these days.

I put a broken line as a mark for all the areas I applied bronzer on.

It's sort of like the number "3".

Also, if you watched Xiaxue's latest tutorial on how to achieve noticeable lower lashes without applying lower falsies, you will notice that it's what I did on my lower lash line. :) 

Forgive my vain pictures. :) I took this picture on the way home.

This is the road side at NLEX. :3

A sunflower! There was a bee when I attempted to shoot this but it got away before I could press the camera. >.<"

Do you like shimmery bronzers or do you prefer matte ones? :)
