Hi, I'm Joyce!
Welcome to bronzer bunny — my little corner of the internet where I share an honest, enthusiastic take on the beauty products I love (and the ones that didn't quite work out). I'm a self-confessed beauty addict based in Chicago, and I'm constantly thinking about new launches, browsing online shops, and chatting with fellow makeup lovers.
Here's the thing: I shop for beauty products a lot, but I don't always wear makeup every day. That push-and-pull between collecting and actually using products is a big part of what this blog is about. In early 2012, I even set a goal to wear makeup more often and challenged myself to a no-buy month — because sometimes you need to enjoy what you already own.
What You'll Find Here
This blog is where I document my beauty journey — from in-depth reviews of luxury and mid-range products to Face of the Day posts showing real-life makeup looks. I've covered brands like Chantecaille, Burberry, Tom Ford, Nars, Guerlain, Tatcha, Lush, and many more.
Over the years I've run several recurring series that readers seemed to enjoy:
- Love It or Toss It — quick-fire verdicts on products I've been testing
- Products That Didn't Work for Me — because not every pretty package delivers
- Weekly Rotation — what I reached for that week
- Lipstick Diaries — celebrating my love of a good lip color
- Saturday Recap — a roundup of beauty thoughts and finds
I also ran a Makeup Challenge back in December 2011 to encourage myself (and anyone following along) to wear makeup more regularly. It was a fun way to stay accountable and connect with the beauty community.
Connecting With Fellow Beauty Lovers
One of the best parts of running this blog has been connecting with other people who get just as excited about a perfect eyeshadow formula or a luxe bath product as I do. I was a member of the Chicago Blogger Network, and I've loved swapping recommendations — whether it's about the best spots along the Magnificent Mile or what to pick up on a trip to Toronto.
I genuinely love hearing from readers. Whether you want to chat about a product, share a recommendation, or just say hi, don't be shy.
