Naturally, I was the first person to set foot inside the San Francisco Centre’s Nordstrom at 8 AM on Wednesday (the second their Half-Yearly sale began), and instead of going to the obvious departments like shoes or bags, I ran straight to the MAC counter. Why? It’s not like anything is ever on sale, but they do sometimes have brand-new releases of their latest line, or quick-to-sell-out value sets. In this case, they didn’t have anything worthy of a mass grab-and-buy (I’ve been there), but they did have a full shipment of MAC’s newest collection, To The Beach. The summer line features beachy-colored eye shadows, coral-hued lipsticks, and seascape-imprinted blush palettes, all in cute shell-monogrammed containers (if that’s their way of convincing us to not trade them back in for their Back 2 Mac program, they’re sorely mistaken)!

The one product that really caught my eye was the Bronze Body Oil. I love shimmer, so while the deep bronze color was a little intimidating to me (I’m not the fairest of them all, but I’m certainly not this dark), I had to try it out. As it turns out, this “Bronze Body Oil” isn’t very bronze at all — on the skin it rubs in almost clear (nice and lightweight, with just a teeny hint of a tan tinge) with very subtle sparkle. It’s not at all glittery or gritty — in fact, under the store lights it was a little too subtle for me — but in the bright sunlight it did give my skin a lovely allover shimmer. Personally, I’ll probably just stick to a swipe of shimmery bronzer on my decolletage, but if you’re looking for a non-heavy product with little color and subtle sparkle, it’s worth checking out!
