I have quite fair skin with blue/cool tones and always have trouble finding a bronzer that isn't too orange or too much for my skin.
I love this product. It's the perfect bronzer for me - it leaves a beautiful healthy tanned glow and isn't orange at all. It's also huge and will last a long time.

Solid brown color
-07.15.12
Wasn't quite the right color for me, but a good bronzer nonetheless. Not orangey - brown is really the perfect description for it. I prefer a more golden color and went with the Terra Soleia instead. The compact is huge, which may explain the higher price. Great for body as well.

HUGE!
-02.12.12
I expected a a small little compact that would get used up quickly. Nope this thing is big. I agree it does kinda smell like a 90 year old lady but i like it so far. It will be good this summer when you really want a hint of shimmer in places......Gave it 3 stars cause of the price $69 is a bit too high.

Quick Take: stinky and overpowering
all joking aside...the scent smells like the overpowering / overwhelming perfume you'd imagine a 70 year old woman from upper east side wearing. the beautiful design and LARGE size of the bronzer took my breath away, but that disgusting scent literally left me breathless, and i tried to ignore it. but it stinks. sooo disappointed. its VERY unlikely that I could keep this around - even IF the color was perfect. its nasty! be warned!! :(
(5 stars for the amazing SIZE and the intricate design - buts thats all)

Terracotta Mosaic Tan Enhancing Bronzer
-10.24.11
Quick Take: natural looking on pale skin
I have tried many bronzers and this is the best bronzer that I have ever used. It is better than Estee Lauder Bronzed Godess which I think would be my second choice or perhaps Bobbi Brown Bronzer. The reason I love this bronzer because it looks 100% natural on my very pale skin. It is not yellow or orange but brown and despite looks very natural and does not look fake at all. I would recommend anyone to try this product as it is extremly good. I buy a lot of cosmetics and never write a review, but this one deserves one.

Very nice bronzer, perfect blend of color, with lighter and darker shades with a hint of gold....pretty mosaic design too!!! This bronzer is gorgeous for the body deocoltee area!!! The scent is to die for, however 2 complaints, first of all the price $69.00, is a bit for bronzer, and for that price and the fact that it is a limited edition, I would expect much better packaging, the lid of the compact is very flimsy plastic that will break quite easily, and no mirror or brush of any kind, for $69.00 I think they could have done far better with packaging thats why I dedcuted a star!!!!

"BEST BRONZER EVER"
-09.30.11
Quick Take: a beautiful face / body bronzer
My sister is DEFINITELY a makeup / product connoisseur & when I purchased this Guerlain bronzer for her she told me that if i were to write a review on Sephora.com to let everyone know that this is the "BEST BRONZER EVER" and that she thinks that she will be addicted to it for life! (I hope it stays in production lol!) My sis said that it is a wonderfully sized product, it smells absolutely sensational and she uses it every day and LOVES IT! Thank you Sephora.com!!! ;)

Nice mosaic design- really pretty to look at, slight flowery/powdery smell that im not hugely fond of. a really light natural looking bronzer perfect for my fair skin. Huge size- three times as big as my normal bronzer- so its actually a good deal :) Only thing I dont like about it is the cheap packaging- mainly the flimsy plastic flip top lid- seems really out of place with such a nice product.

Quick Take: overpriced terrible.
I was extremely disappointed by this product. I applied the powder with a great brush I usually use for bronzer/blush and I was shocked to see the results. It made my pores look enormous and I have very small pores on my face. It doesn't so much reflect light as much as absorb all of the light into your pores.

Quick Take: not that great
it might be good quality but it is DEFIANTLY NOT for darker toned people. People who have either medium or darker skin tones shouldnt get it. It doesnt even show up! If you guys get it (dark skinned people) you will be wasting money...trust me

Great, beautiful bronzer
-06.10.11
I ordered this the other day and was surprised at how lightweight it was when I received it. The packaging might not be the most luxurious (the lid is plastic that you can see through), but you get a lot of product and the mosaic design is breathtaking. The gold overspray comes off after the first few uses, so it will be more of a highlighter at first. After the overspray is gone, you are left with a beautiful bronzer. I think the color would complement most complexions. I have light-medium skin and it looks flawless on me and gives me a beautiful, non-orange glow. It does smell strong, so if that bothers you this product might not be for you. However, if you leave it open for a while, the smell will most likely dissipate. You get a lot more product than Guerlain's Inca bronzer, and for about the same price. This is also not as frosty as Inca, and is less pink. I love it, exactly what I was looking for!

Quick Take: expensive, guerlain terra inca sublime radiant powder is best, seems a little orange
I love Guerlain's new Terre Indigo 4-Shade Eyeshadow palette. I think Guerlain's Terra Inca Sublime Radiant Powder for Face & Body is one of the best powders for 2011, and Guerlain's Terracotta Khôl Kajal, while excellent on upper lids, didn't fare as well on my lower ones. Because of my wonderful experiences with the first two, I wanted to try Guerlain's Terracotta Mosaic Tan Enhancing Bronzer which I did in a department store since Sephora is only selling it online, at least for now. I wanted to make sure I liked it before considering it. I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it, and for that matter, see it. First of all, it's one of the few times something sold at Sephora photographed better than it looks in actuality. I really like how pretty the Terre Indigo palette is, which makes it even more enjoyable to use. Unfortunately, the Terracotta Mosaic Tan Enhancing Bronzer isn't as visually appealing closeup. The saleslady in the department store told me an issue with this is that it has a baby powder scent that people have complained about, but I have a cold, so can't comment on that. The bigger problem is that this doesn't seem as natural looking as Guerlain's Terra Inca Sublime Radiant Powder for Face & Body. While this might work for someone who doesn't have very pale skin, for a variety of reasons, including the price and the shade, this is not for me.
