Customer Feedback:

"...Bronzes well, no 'sparkly' stuff in it, which can look really fake...."

"...
I love the glow of this bronzer! Just the right amount of color!..."

"...
Gives me a healthy, natural look and I don't feel "made up". It does have an unappealing smell, though, that reminds me of "old lady"...."

"...beautiful colors but that smell is just too awful...."

"...
I loved the colors and the feel of this bronzer. But the packaging is not so good. The paper box collapsed shortly after I bought it...."

"...A little goes a long, long way...which is good because it will last longer. It goes on a little on the dry and powdery looking side, but sinks in and smooths out nicely...."

"...
could be a little darker, but not cakey so looks good. Brush not very useful...."
