Cheap Treats: N.Y.C. Bronzer

Each week I'll share a cheap treat (fewer than $10) that I love! Enjoy. Love, Elle

Um, where did September go? It seems like it just flew by! But that's ok because it officially starts my BIRTHDAY MONTH! Note: none of my friends/family have realized that my birthday celebration goes on for an entire MONTH instead of just the 18th. Hmph.

But back to this post. This post is about bronzer. I usually am not a big ole fan of bronzer. It's not because I'm some savvy bronzed-goddess who never needs a glow, oh no. It's because REAL PEOPLE DON'T SPARKLE (only Cullens....and they're practically translucent and um, not people). Nor should they look like they're rolling around in orange Cheetos. Or dirty.

Before I get bronzer compacts thrown at me (I'm horrible at catching anything btw), sparkly bronzer has its time and place--like evenings out or pretending you're at the beach while sitting under a lamp in your apartment (I mean, I'd never do that. Only me losers would make a fake beach, right?). I just want some color, oh about year-round, and I don't want to be all golden...just...tan...natural.

And that's where this week's Cheap Treat comes in:

May I introduce the NYC Color Wheel Mosiac Powder in All Over Bronze Glow? For around $4.99, you get an oil-absorbing, fragrance-free WHEEL.OF.COLOR (I was totally just doing the Wheel of Fortune show opening in my head just then). Wear it alone. Wear it over makeup. Wear a little or build it for more color. Just enjoy the glow. And no sparkles. ;)
