"I am a major beauty addict, but my biggest challenge is actually using the products I'm obsessing over! I shop frequently, but most days pass and not a speck of makeup goes on my face."

About bronzer bunny
A beauty journey, one swipe at a time
Joyce started bronzer bunny to share her honest take on luxury and mid-range beauty products. Based near Chicago, she's a self-described beauty addict who loves connecting with fellow enthusiasts. Her blog features in-depth reviews of brands like Chantecaille, Burberry, Tom Ford, Nars, Guerlain, and Tatcha — always with a warm, conversational voice.
Recurring series like Love It or Toss It, Products That Didn't Work for Me, Weekly Rotation, and Lipstick Diaries kept readers coming back for real talk about what's worth the splurge. From FOTD posts to shopping hauls along Chicago's Magnificent Mile, Joyce documented her makeup journey from November 2011 through early 2014.
