Lets focus on the positives shall we? I can honestly say it ranks as one of the prettiest products I have laid eyes on, it is what the blush in the MAC Surf Baby Collection should have been! The packaging also says summer but in a more classic way than oh yeah surf baby, can you tell I was disappointed with the surf baby collection much?
Now sadly on to the negatives which is only one point but sadly its a big crucial point. It does NOT show up on my skin at all, now I get it is a blush not a bronzer as some may be lead to believe but it is so light that to get it to as much as highlight on my skin I literally had to dig away at the product. I'm an NC35at the moment so i'm somewhere in the middle I guess?
Perhaps it will swatch a dream on fair skin and be the perfect light bronzer and on deep skin tone I imagine it would be a beautiful highlighter. Sadly on me it is neither which is a shame as I love the look of it so much, that will teach me not to buy things based purely on appearance again.
I felt the same way when I tried this at the EL stand.. It was super pretty but on my skin it just didn't really show up! Such a bummer..
ReplyDeleteooh it looks so pretty on the pan... or maybe that's because i'm a sucker for anything summery, haha. i'm sorry it didn't show on you. :( i'm an nc30-35 as well so a lot of products like that don't show on me. *grumble*
ReplyDeleteit has a nice color to it!
ReplyDeleteAw what a shame it looks so pretty xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a downer, it looks like such a beautiful shade. I hope you can find some ingenious way to make it work!
ReplyDeleteAhh I'm gutted it didn't work for you! I LOVE it mysekf. I am really pale though so its really pigmented on me! Possibly one of my most favourite products ever x I like this alot more than the MAC surf baby powder, which I am yet to use :L x

This is ridiculously pretty... but I absolutely don't need another bronzer! ARGH!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bronzer! :) I love the starfish :D
ReplyDeleteI love the packaging:) I wanted it so badly but i can't find it anymore
ReplyDeleteI saw this in boots and when i swatch it on my hand. I also thought that was not very pigmented. Is a shame as it looks so pretty.
