Look at the gorgeous strips of different hues.
What I like:
- The texture of the powder is really nice and soft.
- Blends very well with the skin, not patchy nor powdery.
- There are shimmers but are not obvious once on the skin, thus, making it good for contouring as well.
- Does not look muddy or dirty at all.
- Pigmented and a little goes a long way.
- There is a slight hint of orange in it but it's not something that will really scream "BRONZER!!!" and the brown tone is way stronger than the orange tone.
- Staying power is good and lasts for hours.
- HUGE! Contains 33.61g of product and will definitely last for a long, long, long, long, long time. Unless you break it and decide to throw it in the bin, of course. :)
- Did not break me out at all, no allergic reactions whatsoever.
What I do not like:
- Not locally available.
- Can make you look sunburned if you apply just a little too much.
- Might not show up on darker skin tones.
In between: Those who do not like products made in China may not like that fact that it is made in China. But then, aren't a lot of cosmetics being manufactured in China nowadays? :)
Overall rating: 4/5
Will I buy again? I don't think I will need to purchase one in, say, for the next three years or so? This will last me a lifetime. But of course, I'm exaggerating when I say lifetime. And I have a Too Faced bronzer on its way to momma.

ReplyDeleteNow...where to get my hands on this.
ReplyDeleteI am into bronzer kasi summer na! this looks nice!
ReplyDeletegingerSnaps, I honestly prefer this over NARS Laguna. :P
ReplyDeleteSugar, you have access to NYC bronzers??? :P
Chrissy, online perhaps? I have no idea on where to get this either. Didn't buy it eh. :(
Nikki, the design is so summer-y! :P
its so pretty on the pan!
ReplyDeletei havent tried bronzer, i am morena. i think i have too much natural bronzer on me. haha!
Reina, at least you don't have to use a bronzer because you already have a gorgeous color! :P
ReplyDelete*Sorry, I really admire morenas.*
I seldom use bronzers, but this is a really nice shade.
ReplyDeleteI love the size of the packaginG! It's great when you actually get what you paid for!
ReplyDeleteI find NYX stuff is comparable to some of the bigger brands like MAC, I'm a fan of NYX personally!
ReplyDeleteHollie, this looks almost as natural as NARS Laguna. :P
ReplyDeleteMichelle, it's HUGE! :P I think it retails for $14 when I google-d it and the quality is good too.
Julie, I totally agree. MAC is too over hyped, IMO. :)
the shade looks natural pammy!
ReplyDeleteKim, it really does look natural that's why it can be used in contouring the face. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the cute design and it doesn't look like it's screaming BRONZER. It's always a tricky situation with bronzers and me coz' it can really give me a sunburned effect hehe:-)
ReplyDeletenyx is one of my favorite drugstore brand over here, it's affordable and i think some of their products are really nice! i haven' tried that bronzer but i do own a bronzer from them and love it!
