Advantages: Lovely colour, high quality

Disadvantages: Very expensive

Firstly, this bronzer has the nicest packaging, I'm a real fan of the Nars rubbery black cases, unlike plastic packaging, if you drop your Nars bronzer the case won't smash and the product won't crack. They look really expensive (partly because they are quite expensive) and are really classy. They look great on you dresser or in your make-up bag, they're of a high quality and this product also has a mirror in it's lid.

But now, let's get onto the actual bronzer. It comes in two shades: Casino and Laguna which are for the fairer skin and for the more tanned skin respectively. I use Casino and it's a beautiful golden brown with yellow undertones and has a lovely subtle shimmer. The texture is wonderful, I get my brush, sweep it over my cheekbones once and I'm good to go, if I want it slightly more intense, I'll sweep on the bronzer once more.

The application of the bronzer is a dream, you need the smallest amount on your brush and it really blends and lasts. There's no streaks or uneven colour, it's not cakey or powdering, it looks completely natural with a lovely glow. To make the application better, I do suggest a quality make-up brush as cheap ones won't allow an even finish, I recommend Body Shop make-up brushes or MAC brushes, they're slightly more expensive but are reliable and last.

Unfortunately, quality costs and this bronzer doesn't come cheap, like all Nars products it sits at the top of the make-up price range. This particular prduct retails at £20 but it does last so you won't need to keep replacing it and when I say last, I'm talking years not months.

For the cheapest prices on Nars products, I recommend you buy online and HQ Hair is a personal favourite of mine, it's slightly cheaper and they're alsways giving 10-20% discounts, so hold out for one of those. Alternatively, you can buy Nars products from House Of Fraser and Space NK.

Summary: Think of it as an investment!
