Wonderful Bronzers!! (MAC of course!)

I've tried many bronzers...but i have two absolute favourites.

I have 4 in my possession right now:
Clinique Almost Bronzer (which i will talk about some other day).
Victoria's Secret PINK Face & Body Bronzer (which i like, and will talk about in conjunction with the above just to save space)
*MAC Creme Bronzer-Beach Bronze
*MAC Bronzing Powder-Refined Golden

So you can guess from the list which ones i love and use the most!!

Firstly, MAC Creme Bronzer in Beach Bronze. This was from their To the Beach collection (summer 2010) and is limited edition and therefore no longer available for purchase. I spotted it and tried it in Macy's FL but i couldn't decide whether to buy it or not and ended up leaving FL without it. It was ON MY MIND forever after that, and luckily my mum and dad were leaving for TX the week i came back home so i begged mummy to pick it up for me since we were sold out in Trinidad. It cost me $25usd.
It's a velvety soft,creamy, lightweight, sheer, easy to blend, tan/brown with golden shimmer!
It's not too sparklyyy even though it looks like it might be. It's buildable but it's mostly quite sheer so your face wouldn't end up looking dirty. If you think you applied to much you just need to rub it in and it kind of melts out til it's sheer again. It's great to give your cheeks a lovely glow, as a highlighter or just a light bronzer. I apply it with my fingers because i just think using a brush would waste a lot of the product by digging out a lot of it from the pan and because you can't really control how much you want to apply.



Beach Bronze directly applied & then blended out.





Now to talk about a product that isn't limited edition therefore available to all who have access to a MAC store!! MAC Bronzing Powder in Refined Golden.
It's a relatively large compact. I LOVE it and use it ALL the time!!! I apply it with a kabuki brush and it works really well. The colour (refined golden) is really versatile as i believe it will look equally as beautiful on almost every skin tone, but maybe not so much on darker skin tones.
It's a gorgeous tan/brown colour with slight shimmer (which you don't really notice, though it's not totally matte).
It blend out really well and gives you a sun kissed look and is completely buildable to give you a TAN look (though i tend to apply it very lightly and build to avoid looking like i have dirt on my face). You can apply it ontop your cheek where the sun hits, you can also use it to contour your cheeks, and you can apply it anywhere else the sun hits!! It's gorgeous and livens up your skin tone instantly!! I don't think i'll ever buy another bronzer!!

I have provided a swatch but it's sort of blurry, so sorry guys it may not be a very good swatch but seriously, it is a great colour and great product!! My absolute favourite bronzing powder!
A MUST TRY!!!



Yes i know, a crappy swatch :(
