I have a few pieces of the new Elizabeth Arden New York in Bloom Collection but have a few items still to test out before I can share my opinion. However you best believe that when Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Radiant Bronzing Powder landed on my doorstep I put it straight to use. If prizes were given to the most beautiful powders this would be a serious contender.
I have always had a soft spot for Elizabeth Arden's packaging with their subtle nods to their infamous red door symbol. This time around the items of the Elizabeth Arden New York in Bloom Collection of course feature the red door but also have a really pretty and simple floral print too that is fitting for Spring. The Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Radiant Bronzing Powder is a great size not too large nor small and comfortably fits in the palm of my hand all held within a sturdy but pretty compact complete with a great quality mirror.
The Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Radiant Bronzing Powder comes in two shade options warm or soft, I have warm which is a medley of two golden bronze shades, a warm cream tone with a light but cool pink accent. I hate to harp on again about the aesthetics of this product but seriously just how cute is that print? So adorable that it pained me to use it the first time around. When all four shades combine they form a deep bronze although the floral segments are too small to use as individual shades for the face they are perfectly sized to use as solo eyeshadows.
On my medium skin tone this is a great bronze shade to add warmth to the skin tone but may appear a little muddy on lighter complexions.
The beauty of all Elizabeth Arden powder products (yes I feel that strongly about their formula that I can make such a broad, sweeping statement) is that they are soft to the touch, beautifully pigmented and not prone to product fall out.
As mentioned above this product is shimmer based but not rather plentiful at that, for that reason I recommend it for those like myself who have enlarged pores as it doesn't have a tendency to settle into them and highlight said problem. In terms of lasting power this wears for around 8 hours before fading which is pretty good going as my skin is oily. All in all a really great bronzer that doubles up as an eye palette, what is not to like?

This is gorgeous, I'd almost buy it just for the packaging! I love multi-use products too, I find my Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick doubles up nicely for eyeshadows :-) x
