I got this product several months ago. I found it in one of the beauty boxes and it was full size!They say it’s a bronzer-blush which can be also swiped all over the body, not only cheeks. Besides, some say it’s a nice eyeshadow too.
◆ Price
Since I got it from a beauty box, I didn’t bother about the price much. Before writing this review I googled and found out that it costs $15.00 on the official brand site.
◆ Packaging
Nothing interesting about it at all. Just a plastic round compact with a see-through top.

It’s rather sturdy and for 6 months of use, the top cap has never broken down or shattered. Usually, my makeup packed like this loses its top cap within some time.

The list of ingredients is given on the back. Inside, we have the bronzer. It comes in one and only universal shade.

◆ Consistency
It’s finely-milled. It dusts a little bit but I can’t say that’s crucial.

◆ Swatches
The pigmentation is really great. You can pack the coverage and wear it as an eyeshadow with ease.

The blending is average.

The color is bronzer-brown without any red or gray tones to it.
◆ Application
At first, I tried to apply it with a contouring brush made of natural bristles. As a result, the coverage was patchy and uneven. I just couldn’t apply it well. It either looked undetectable or too much on my face. Always different on both my cheeks.
But then, I started to apply it with this synthetic brush and it went so smooth.

By the way, it’s interesting that I got this brush from the same beauty box as this bronzer. Like, they tried to hint at which brush to use at once. :)
◆ Makeup

Now it’s summer and I use this bronzer instead of my blusher. I also apply it on my cheekbones. I like the way it looks then.

In both pictures, I applied it delicately in one swipe. Literally touched the bronzer with a brush and then touched my cheeks with it. The pigmentation is awesome, I’d even say too much.
◆ Overall thoughts
The product is attention-worthy. I do recommend it for purchasing. I just take off a star for some issues while applying it and insane pigmentation. But in general, it’s okay for the price.
