Cozy Up With Lancôme's Cabana Bronze Collection

BellaSugar — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:00:48 PDT

Although Lancôme's Cabana Bronze collection isn't due in stores for a couple of weeks, the new Cherub Star Bronzer ($50) and Star Eye Shadow Palettes ($43) are already available online - goodie! Last Summer, they stunned us with the launch of a huge face and body-bronzer compact embellished with a bamboo and sunset image. This year they've decided to bring back the popular over-sized bronzer but instead of a glittery sunset, it features a more subdued cherub imprint.

Leave the glimmering golds and bronzes up to the new quad eye-shadow palettes. The first, Cabana Sunset, contains champagne, true gold, taupe, and deep brown shadows. Its counterpart, Cabana Sunrise, contains a pale shimmery shell pink, a sparkling mauve, a neutral taupe (which I also use on my brows) and a dark brownish-aubergine (which can double as a liner). I'm pretty hooked on Cabana Sunrise - I think it's all I'll need on my next tropical vacay. Which item interests you the most?

Oversized Face & Body Bronzer Duos, Part II

BellaSugar — Tue, 01 May 2007 10:50:33 PDT

This super-size it beauty trend is really taking off. Over the past couple of weeks, I've found even more over-sized bronzers for you! Not only can these be used on your face to create a safe, sunless tan but they can be used on your body too. To cover large areas like your shoulders and chest, apply these bronzers using a kabuki brush. For smaller areas like your cheekbones and decolletage, apply using an angled contour brush.

The Big Bronzer by Cargo, $32, is a ginormous face and body bronzer with a sun emblazoned on the inside. It is available in the same medium color that Cargo is noted for and it comes in a cool copper compact.

Made from pure mineral, SoCal is gentle on your skin and shouldn't cause any irritation or redness.
Fusion Bronzing Body Powder Set by Smashbox, $54, is a little bit more expensive because it includes a bronzer and a super soft kabuki brush. This over-sized medium bronzer, highlighter and soft pink blush adds a sun-kissed radiance to any complexion. It also has a soft tropical scent to it and will last you all summer long!

Have you guys noticed this new trend of humongo bronzers? They are intended to be applied with a giant kabuki brush for your face and your body, for all over glow, but my goodness, I am not sure who's going to be schlepping those babies around in their cosmetics cases! They are great to help enhance a summer tan and contour your cheekbones, jaw line and decolletage. Enjoy!

Sugar Cosmetics Tropic Tan Bronze/Shimmer Duo, $28, is a large powder compact that contains a medium bronzer on one side and a golden shimmer bronze highlighter on the other side. You can wear each one separately or blend together for a radiant tan!

Cute Alert! Solange Knowles Makes Green and Coral Work

At yesterday's Elle's Women in Music Event, Solange Knowles looked radiant in bright, multidimensional eye makeup that she paired with a bold coral hue on the lips. It's a stunning color combination that's seasonally appropriate, especially when topped off with a floppy hat. To get the style, line the lower lash lines with a shimmering emerald pencil, like Models Own shimmery pencil in Green ($6). Add a touch of gold or yellow to the inner corners of the eyes, some bronzer on the cheeks, and don't forget that orange-red lipstick and oversized chapeau. To shop the palette, just click on any of the images above for more details.
