While updating my make up collection after having a huge clear out of old grubby make up I decided to replace some of the items that were essential to my make up bag. I discovered that my old bronzer has now been discontinued and I panicked as it was the only bronzer I had ever tried before. I was recommended by a friend to try the Bourjois Bronzer so I took her advice and have never looked back.


I purchased the bronzer from superdrug from the bourjois display stand and it cost me £8.00 which is quite reasonable for a bronzer. I have tried a few bourjois products before mainly lip glosses and have been impressed with them so I was happy to try the bronzer.


The packaging for the bronzer is fantastic and has been very well made and thought out. It comes in a glossy cardboard book shaped box, the bronzer opens like a book and has a small built in magnetic strip built in and holds the lid closed. This stops and the dust from the bronzing powder escaping and causing a mess in my make up bag or handbag.


The bronzer sits neatly in the bottom of the book and has been designed to look like a bar of chocolate, it looks very brown like chocolate and has markings to make it look like a squares of chocolate, I can see slight gold flakes through the bronzer but it looks very subtle.


The bronzer does not come with a applicator brush but this does not bother me as I always use my own brushed as I find the brushes supplied are usually too small and useless. I use my blusher brush to apply the bronzer to my face, I usually sweep it across my cheeks and cheek bones, down my nose, across my chin and along my forehead. It can also be used along the collar boned and chest to add some definition.


It creates a youthful and healthy glow and if lightly applied can be very natural looking, it creates a beautiful sun kissed glow. I like to apply it slightly heavy if im going on a night out and find it still doesn't look to dark. The gold flakes through the bronzer are not visible on my skin but think they add a slight shimmer and help to reflect light.


It was easy to use and even better mess free to store, it was very well priced compared to some high street brands. I feel its a fantastic quality bronzer and has never crumbled into a mess with me and I have owned it for 6 months and have lots left and I do use it on a daily basis. I love the cool packaging and find it very practical to. I highly recommend this bronzer and will be buying this one again.
