Chanel Cream Bronzer Dupe?!

Posted on 06/05/2023

We know people rave about the Chanel Cream Bronzer but we’re always on the hunt for affordable products that have a luxury feel to them, in both formulation and packaging. We think the Beauty Pie Cream Bronzer fits the bill. Watch to see Carli’s review:

Next stop in our cookie reviews series is @bristolfarms 🍪

We got two cookies to try:

The Original ($3.75): Dark Belgium chocolate, cocoa, toasted walnuts, and sea salt.

Peanut Butter ($3.75)- at room temp this could actually be a 10/10. Amazing!

These are some of the best cookies we’ve had in LA! Where should we try next?

I love going back to old favorites, I recently repurchased the @maybelline Falsies Lash Lift Mascara and forgot how nice it is! It holds a curl, is super lightweight, very black, creates a nice wispy voluminous look this isn’t too intense for every day but I wouldn’t call this a natural look either. It does smudge every so slightly on me but better then 80% of mascaras I try (why does this happen the older I get?!).

I ran out of my current brow gel and decided to give the @rarebeauty one a try since it’s so hyped up on social media.

I did not expect to love this as much as I do. First of all I think the brush is a great size for most brow types. Since the formula is (truly) clear I don’t mind if the product gets in my skin, and I love that the brush really pushes the product into your brows.

The formula is fairly thin and you have some playtime, so you can easily go back in after the initial “coat” and comb your brows where you want them to stay.

The hold is great on this and I love that the formula isn’t shiny. So many clear formulas lean glossy!

I don’t think I’ll be able to find something I like more than this product. Have you tried it?

Finally got my hands on this @hauslabs concealer and I get the hype! I’ve been using dewy, skin like, medium coverage concealers and wanted something a little more matte and more coverage and this is it. It still has a skin like finish but this formula has body to it, it doesn’t blend out super thin when blended out so even though I’d still call this medium coverage coverage it covered my dark circles really well. I find this wears great and after a long day it doesn’t look cakey or dry. It creases a tad on me but nothing crazy - excited to see if this skincare claims are real and if I notice a difference there!

Sound the alarms I think I found my new favorite lipstick shade!

I’ve used the @rarebeauty ‘Talented’ lipstick since it launched and while I love that shade it can pull a little warm on me, and I’ve been leaning into cool tones lately. So during the Sephora Sale I picked up the Rare Beauty Lipstick in Worthy, a muted mauve shade. I would say this is a true mauve and looks even more cool toned in person (this video has no filter but it’s still looking warmer here).

I’ve been reaching for this nonstop and if you’ve never tried the formula I would describe it as a creamy, comfortable matte. It feels waxier than a powdery matte and has a full pigment load.

What other shades from this range should I try?

I know everyone loves the @rarebeauty liquid blushes but I never loved any of the shades! I decided to pick up the small size in shade ‘Encourage’ and I really like it! It’s a neutral dusty rose tone that doesn’t pull too warm on me. I even like the smaller size because it’s easier to control application since these blushes are super pigmented. I wish this color was in the matte formula but this formula isn’t overly dewy/wet looking. I think I’ll get a lot of use from this in the summer!

Here are all of the @pacificabeauty fragrances ranked from our least favorite to our absolute must haves! But truly you can’t go wrong with any of these- since they are so affordable (under $30!).

We’ve loved Dream Moon and Silver Moon for years but we were so shocked by how good Passionfruit is. If you like juicy fruity scents you should try this one for summer.

What’s your favorite from this range?

I’ve been looking for a more affordable full coverage concealer and decided to try the @nyxcosmetics Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop Concealer after seeing some positive reviews on social media.

This product has extreme coverage so a little goes a long way, which I like. However more coverage=more pigment which is why I find a lot of full coverage concealers to be drying over time, and unfortunately this is no exception.

I would say it looks pretty good for a couple of hours but then it starts to emphasize my dry undereyes, even when I prep with hydrating products. It ultimately clings onto dry patches.

I will say this does look pretty smooth under the eyes and I didn’t notice a ton of creasing, so if you don’t struggle with dry undereyes this may work great for you!

It was one of the better drugstore concealers I’ve tried, but alas, I’ll stick with my @fitglowbeauty concealer for now.
