Revlon ColorStay Mineral Bronzer in Golden Bronze

 

I got this in a giveaway that i won a few months ago from Pang!. I had never been interested in trying these before but im so glad she sent it to me because i ended up liking it alot and ive been using it all Summer.

Because im so pale its hard to find a great bronzer. But because this is super sheer and very natural looking, i find that it works great with my pale skin in Summer.

PROS
cute packaging
travel friendly, tight closure
great for light skin tones
VERY subtle shimmer, almost not noticeable
no scent
long lasting
natural looking

CONS
Brush isnt so great. Its tiny and does not pick up the product at all.
Product is super sheer (which is good for me) but others may not like that. You really have to build it up to see color.

As you can see this isnt much darker than my natural skin tone and thats what i love most about it. I can put a light dusting of this on my cheeks and they look naturally sunkissed as opposed to putting on a fake looking bronzer. Next to Physicians Formula Happy Booster, this is my favorite new bronzer!

Have you tried these? Would you try them? Thanks for reading :)

Physicians Formula Solar Powder SPF 20

At the beginning of Summer i was in need of a light bronzer so when i did a CVS haul i checked out Physicians Formula first because they have a wide range of blush and bronzer available. What i came across was an overwhelming number of selections but finally settled on this because it's the lightest one i found.

PROS

has SPF 20 for added protection

light enough for pale skin tones

doesnt look fake

when applied with a duo fibre brush its super sheer and pretty

when applied with a condensed blush brush its more opaque

buildable and blendable coverage

i had a coupon for $5 which made it roughly $9

comes w/ it's own brush and mirror

very travel friendly

zero shimmer, its totally matte

CONS

P.F. products can be super pricey

Overall i am super pleased with my purchase and im glad this is the bronzer i chose. It's completely matte which i love because with pale skin tones too much shimmer in face products can be a disaster - especially bronzer! 

Physicians Formula Happy Booster Bronzer

I got this beautiful bronzer from Holly Ann in an amazing Thank You Package she sent me a few weeks ago. I was so excited when i unwrapped this because I had been wanting to try it for a very long time!

PROS
smells amazing!
nice light bronze finish which is great for my pale skin
has a little touch of pink in it
packaging is soo cute!
comes with a brush
can be worn sheer or deep

50/50
I looove the smell (it may bother some people) but i wish it lasted longer!

CONS
Price, almost $13 each. Thankfully i got this one from Holly but some people may not want to pay the extra money although it is def worth it.

I have been wearing this nearly everyday since i got my package in the mail, i really love it! Im considering checking out one of the blush's also. Im sorta new to Physicians Formula products but out of everything i've tried the past few months im very pleased! Thanks again to Holly for sending me this wonderful product! :)

Mark. Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes

If you're looking for a new highlighter or bronzer for summer you really need to check out this Mark. Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes All Over Face Palette, $15., click here.

What Mark. says:
❝Look your most luminous, thanks to these cubes: with a sweep of a brush, shimmery shades of pink, gold and bronze combine for allover color, or dab individual shades onto eyelids using your finger.
• 9 shades combined add instant radiance to skin
• Individual shades can light up the lids with gorgeous shimmer
• Blendable cream-to-powder formula❞

[PROS]
Just the right amount of shimmer/sheen but not sparkly or glittery at all
Good pigmentation
Creamy texture that turns to weightless powder when applied to skin
Beauty shades, perfect for summer
Compact is sleek and small enough for travel
Multiple uses
Great for ANY skin tone!

[CONS]
Price - At $15 not everyone may be able to afford this, but it is still worth it!

Summary:
If this were a drugstore product, i may not want to pay $15 for it even though it is absolutely amazing. You can see from the swatches the shades by themselves are gorgeous and could be used as shadows or browbone/inner corner highlighters. When blended together they create a beautiful pinkish-golden sheen on skin that has ZERO sparkle or glitter particles. Its just a dewey glowing sheen which is perfect for summer skin. I honestly believe these would be great for ANY skin tone. So what's the verdict? I love it and i definitely think it's worth the $15 (even though i got it for $7.50 thanks to my husband who works at AVON).

E.L.F. Contouring Blush & Bronzer Duo

I have been lusting after the NARS Orgasm/Laguna ($39) blush and bronzer duo for a long time and after seeing this E.L.F. Contouring Blush & Bronzer Duo ($3) was a supposed dupe I figured it was worth a try for a $36 price drop!!

First of all, I was amazed at how super soft and pigmented the blush and bronzer in this compact are PLUS how giant the thing is to being with!! Its like double the size of the NARS duo. Since i dont own NARS Orgasm/Laguna I cant say if the shades are exact dupes or not but i love them all the same.

The blush is a pink shade w/ peachy shimmer and the bronzer is a warm typical bronze shade. Theyre soooo smooth and soft and apply lightly so it makes it even easier for blending and buildable coverage. I am highly impressed with this due and really dont even want the NARS one anymore!

Definitely a must have for me from now on!
