Correction to my previous review...
-06.26.12
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking, luminous glow
Everything I wrote was correct except I found that the color I had was ANTIGUA....since you only listed 2 and one was Aruba I mistakenly thought that was the one I got. So ANIGUA is a beautiful soft rosy bronzer that is perfect for the fair/light skinned.

Review 4 for Illuminating Bronzing Powder
good quality, natural color
-06.16.12
the product is acutally darker in real life than the photo indicates but still a nice color. I like that it gives a lovely luminescense wihout that pole dancer sparkle. I have dry skin and i just wish it wasnt dry-feeling.

Review 5 for Illuminating Bronzing Powder
Soft, sun-kissed look
-05.29.12
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking, luminous glow
I have the Aruba Bronzing Powder and love it. It appears pink in the compact but once on it looks like I've been out in the sun and gotten a bit of color - for someone fair-skinned like me, some traditional bronzers are too dark/fake looking but this one gives me a natural sun-kissed look.

Review 6 for Illuminating Bronzing Powder
Wonderful!
-05.23.12
Quick Take: luminous glow
It goes on in a thin veil that you can build on, if necessary. The coral is perfect for my strawberry blonde hair and fair complexion. Other bronzers look orange or brown on me. I wear a little more on cheeks and then don't even need blush. Plus, it's comes in such a large case! Love it!

Review 7 for Illuminating Bronzing Powder
-05.20.12
Quick Take: natural looking, luminous glow
I've been complimented left and right since I purchased this earlier this week. Everyone says my makeup looks flawless and my skin looks beautiful. It's not too heavy, but adds just enough color and glow to make a difference. LOVE IT. Will definitely purchase again.

Review 8 for Illuminating Bronzing Powder
Love This
-03.16.12
This is the best bronzing powder I have ever used. It goes on lightly, adds just a touch of color and shimmer which you could put on heavier by layering.

Review 9 for Illuminating Bronzing Powder
Second time purchase
-02.08.12
I don't generally repurchase products. I always want to try something new. This though, I liked the effect so much, I just bought my second one. Adds the perfect amount of color and glow.

Review 10 for Illuminating Bronzing Powder
Perfect for the Pale Ladies
-11.28.11
Quick Take: quality, light, glowy
I was a little skeptical because it's called a "bronzer" and if you're a certain shade of pale "bronze" is the last thing you want to be. But I'm loving this... It's not a blush, but not quite a bronzer. It keeps me looking a little more alive.

Review 12 for Illuminating Bronzing Powder
Genius!
-10.01.11
Quick Take: gorgeous, natural-looking
These bronzers are lovely, high quality, and just genius for the fair-skinned like me.
Aruba is a light golden brown; pretty but very much a traditional bronzer.
The Maui is a coral/pink with golden shimmer - which is awesome because it gives the looks of having just come in from the beach with that sunkissed pink look! It is soooo gorgeous on fair skin!!!
I have both colors but much prefer the Maui. I'll use it over Aruba - it looks so natural.
Love!

Review 13 for Illuminating Bronzing Powder
Great glow!
-08.20.11
Quick Take: light
I basically wear the same make-up daily. However, after I received this bronzer in Aruba, I completed my same make-up routine BUT added this. When I went to work, a co-worker said how great and rested I looked...like I had just returned from vacation!! In the picture, it looks like it has pink in it. I don't see any pink in the Aruba I received. Anyway, it's the best bronzer ever! Very subtle..which I prefer over other bronzers I've tried.

Review 15 for Illuminating Bronzing Powder
Sun-Kissed Look
-07.09.11
This is a decent bronzer; smooth application, but as with all bronzers on pale girls, apply sparingly so it doesn't appear dirty/orange . Good price and a nice choice for the porceline ladies out there.

Review 16 for Illuminating Bronzing Powder
-07.07.11
Quick Take: natural, glow, shimmer
I bought this in Aruba. I used it more in the winter, now that it's summer, Ive switched to a darker bronzer. But I love this bronzer, the shimmer is gorgeous and gives my face a perfectly slightly bronzed glow. Perfect for a natural bronzed look.You don't even have to put on a lot to get a nice glow.

Review 17 for Illuminating Bronzing Powder

Aruba
-07.02.11
This color didn't work well on my skin tone, and my bf commented that it was too gold. But I gave it 5 stars cause I think it's a high quality product that really makes the skin glow, but it just didn't work out for me. Should have tried the pink toned one.

Review 20 for Illuminating Bronzing Powder
Too pink for me
-05.06.11
I went for a BB color consulation last year, and they used the "aruba" color on me which has more of a gold base, but since Sephora didn't carry that one, and this color got good reviews for fair skin, I thought I'd try it. However, it's still too pink for me. I returned it to the shop.
