Bronzer with Cocoa Powder: Too Faced Chocolate Soleil.

How great is bronzer? I feel like I talk about it all the time, but I can't help it; I'm a bronzer girl. I have a list of my favorite bronzers, and even though I most often use drugstore bronzers, I don't turn my nose up when browsing new ones. This new bronzer from Too Faced caught my eye, or well, my nose. That's because this Chocolate Soleil Bronzer is made with real cocoa powder and it smells so good.

Chocolate Soleil is a darker medium-deep shade that is perfect for both contouring or all over bronzing because of the matte formula. I like matte bronzing formulas the best, because they look very real on the skin. I have to be careful with matte formulas though, as I've definitely tried some that look too powdery or chalky. This formula is great. I don't know if it is because it contains antioxidant rich cocoa powder or it's just the pure bronzing pigments. The color is real and natural looking.

I like to apply this bronzer with a big fluffy brush and apply it in place of powder to add a bit of a tanned look to my skin.

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer is available for $30 at Sephora, Ulta, Macy's and toofaced.com now.

Makeup Wars: My Favorite Summer Manicure.

My summer manicures are always bright, but they almost always have another thing in common too - they're pink. I love pink. It works with my skin tone and it looks great on my nails. L'Oréal Paris is launching a summer collection called Colour Me Pink next month, and all of the products are in pink tones. It's as if it were made for me.

The nail colors:

• Berry Jealous!
• Sugary Sweet
• Taste of Romance
• Pink Attitude
• Rosy Macaron
• Hella Pink

I selected two of the shades for my summer manicure so I could have an accent nail, with a bit of a design. I used Pink Attitude as the base and accented it with Sugary Sweet on my ring finger. Pink Attitude is a beautiful, creamy geranium pink-red shade; Sugary Sweet is a sheer, light pink with a subtle shimmer that is only really visible in bright light.

First, I applied two coats of Pink Attitude. After they were dry, I taped off (using band aids because I am such a novice and never thought of using tape, which would have given me a much more clean edge) a vertical line on my ring finger, and applied three coats of Sugary Sweet. I left that on for about 30 minutes before I removed the guides. Finally, I took a little self adhesive crystal that I had left from a craft project, and placed that on my nail with tweezers. I finished with top coat.
