These Shimmering Sands Are More Than a Mirage: Estée Lauder's Innovative Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelèe in Shimmering Sands - Makeup and Beauty Blog

Ever since that time I sent El Hub out to purchase toilet paper and he returned with 4 rolls of crummy 1-ply paper that felt like tree bawl on my booty, I accept intendance of replenishing the TP effectually here.

Stay with me. I'chiliad going somewhere with this… 🙂

Every bit I was on my way out the door the other day to pick upwardly some Ultra Soft Charmin (the best!) from Target, I glanced at myself in the hallway mirror and said, "Dang, G-Dawg! You're wearing hella bronzer, girl!"

I was shimmering, and bronzed, similar I'd merely gotten back from a week in the Due south of French republic.

Merci beaucoup, Estée Lauder Pure Colour Illuminating Powder Gelèdue east in Shimmering Sands ($42).

Shimmering Sands on my cheeks, beyond my forehead and forth my jaw line

I haven't always been this inspired past the Estée Lauder brand. Matter of fact, up until a renaissance a few years ago in which I think they started cranking out some really innovative products at a rapid clip, I didn't oftentimes think of EL as a super bold or cutting-edge line.

Recently, releases like the Cyber Optics Drove, Pure Colour Blushes, and now this here Shimmering Sands, have totally inverse the way I expect at the brand.

Sands is a warm and shimmering peachy golden bronze pulverisation from the new limited edition Bronze Goddess Capri drove, and it'due south designed to be worn as a bronzer, a highlighter and/or a blush.

And that'south not all. Texture really sets this multitasking powder apart. Part liquid, powder and gel, it feels lightweight, flossy and smooth on my skin.

Throw in some punchy pigments and an almost mirror-similar shine, and Shimmering Sands reminds me of a marriage between a MAC Mineralize Skinfinish, with its metal end, and a creamy NARS Multiple. Just really super cool.

If you make up one's mind to give it a try, learn from my mistakes. Take information technology easy on this bad boy, and apply information technology with a light touch, because the showtime time I swept this powder on my cheeks, I went a little overboard and consequently spent a solid five minutes buffing it down.

I think it'd be darn most perfect for $10 less, but I recall it'southward even so pretty great. 🙂
