Review: Physicians Formula Baked Bronzer in Baked Tan

Price: $11.95
Where to buy?: at drugstores





I bought this bronzer at Ulta when they had a promotion on Buy One Get One Free on all Physician formula a long time ago when BOGOF existed in CVS and Rite Aid as well. If you haven't know me from my MSF old post I'm a huge fan of Mac's Mineralize Skinfinishes and I'm always on a look out for drugstore lookalikes and this bronzer was the only reason why I purchase it.

The shade I got is in "Baked Tan" I think theirs 2 shades available, this ones gives a nice warm color to my skin with gold shimmers. The texture is very smooth and blendable and the pigmentation is perfect not too heavy or too light and its buildable.

The only downside for me is the shimmers can be too much so whenever I use this bronzer I make sure to avoid other face makeup products that contain shimmers like blush, powders and highligther.

This is not a bad bronzer and worth trying out, just be careful with the packaging because mines it looks like the hinge is about to crack.

Review: E.L.F Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder

Where to Buy: E.L.F site
Cost: $1 each




What E.L.F says: A touch of sunshine to warm up every complexion with its soft and silky texture for a beautiful and natural glow.

My Review: This is one of the most underrated makeup item because its only $1 and people tend to stay away from it because they think it sucks which I had the same thought from the beginning. I bought these bronzers for the heck of it since E.L.F did a promotion on 75% off everything a while back.

After trying them for a year I really think these are worth every penny :]
They're not powdery, chalky or glittery, they give a nice sheen and gives a wonderful summer glow.



My most favorite is "Luminance" it makes a great highlighter on the cheekbone I bought another back-up of this shade because I love it so much. The bronze colors make great eyeshadows for everyday wear. The only downside is hearing from other people is the packaging because its very flimsy but for a $1 you can't expect more from it and I don't have any problems with it.

These are worth a try even if you don't like it its only $1 so you don't loose much.

Review: The Body Shop Shimmer Waves

Left: Bronze, Right: Blush

Left: Bronze, Right: Blush

Where to buy?: The Body Shop stores or website
Price: $22.00

What The Body Shop says:
Pearl pigments provide shimmer and sparkle, helping to disguise fine lines around the eye area. Ultra-fine talc is a high-performance powder that enables smooth and even application. Community Trade marula oil from Namibia helps to repair skin’s moisture barrier.

My Review:
I purchase the shade blush first and after trying it for weeks and fell in love with it I decided to purchase bronze. Like most powders that have these multicolor strips (Milani's Glimmer Stripes, Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Bricks etc) they're multipurpose, they can be used as a bronzer, blush, highlighter or eyeshadows. They're very blendable and not glittery but it gives a beautiful sheen.



"Bronze" is a great bronzer if you want that nice summer warm glow and they also make a awesome eyeshadow for everyday looks.



"Blush" makes a good highligther on the cheekbones or brow bone.

Although compare to the Milani Glimmer Stripes (Review) I still like the Milani one much better, its cheaper, their texture is much softer and have more shade selections. Otherwise these are not too bad, I recommend the shade "Bronze" if you're interested because it suits every skin tones.

Would I buy this again?: no
