Not only does the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer ($30) help even out medium to dark complexions, but it also smells JUST like chocolate.

What I love about the Urban Decay Beached Bronzer in Bronzed ($28) is the radiant, natural-looking glow it gives me without the pesky streaks. Did I mention how silky the texture is?
