Shimmery bronzing powders in almost blush-like shades of luscious peach and pink aren’t exactly uncharted territory. Chanel, for example, has , a few times before.

Okay, how about 5?

Yeah…I can’t even begin to tell you how appealing that sounds now that 37 is officially less than two weeks away!

How so?

No, I’m not talking about , silly (at least not this time).

After El Hub got home from work last night we visited the local farmer’s market here in Novato, which just started up for the season a few weeks ago.

I ordered from a Thai stand last night, but I was so ravenous that I forgot to snap a shot of my veggie pad thai before it was too late, whoops!

NYX Illuminating Bronzer in Narcissistic

What do you think? Do I look 10 years younger wearing Chaotic, my favorite of the three shades, up there at the top?

Now, when people call me “ma’am,” I try to own that sh*t! — but that does not mean refusing a little makeup help along the way.

The marketing material doesn’t say, but I wonder if NYX co-created them with Cher, because they are, after all, designed to “turn back time.”

But NYX weaved quite a tapestry together with their three new Illuminating Face and Body Bronzers. By combining eminently flattering shades with a pearly finish and a soft, comfy texture, and then keeping the price well below department store, they created something greater than the sum of its parts.

Chanel might have these beat with finer grains and a softer consistency — the Illuminating Bronzers also don’t seem to last as long as Chanel’s $60 bronzer — but for a $9 product? Bravo, NYX. Quite an impressive feat.

But seeing as how I can’t really stop this train I’m on, I’ve been doing my best to slow it down embrace the inevitable with positivity and panache.

Anywho, summer fruit. I brought home a few apricots, a basket of cherries and a couple white peaches and nectarines.

Farmer’s markets are among my favorite things about summer. The different food stands, crafts, performers and, of course, the yummy fresh fruits and veggies.

Like Fox Mulder with his aliens, I really want to believe, LOL!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Wearing NYX Illuminating Bronzer in Chaotic on my cheeks

Chaotic contains a generous amount of peachy pigment and golden shimmer that, if nothing else, certainly puts a smile on my face.

If you’re a budget lover looking for a similar look for less, these should hit the spot.

NYX Illuminating Bronzer in Magnetic

Can I interest you in some fruit? What would you like?

Summer fruit!

By bestowing a natural radiant glow to the skin that also diffuses incoming light, helping skin appear softer and, or so I hope, younger.

All it took was a few swipes of Narcissistic (a beige), Chaotic (a golden peach) and Magnetic (a peachy pink) to get me hooked on all three.
