Meh.
-05.29.13
I heart JM products but this one was a disappointment. This is more like a finely milled loose powder than a pressed one. It has a slight reddish tone to it compared with other brown or golden bronzers. A swirl of my brush sent product flying everywhere and I don't want to be inhaling more product than what I'm applying on! Plus for the price there are much better bronzers out there.

Great color
-04.26.13
Quick Take: natural looking
Love these products. The color is perfect for my paler skin tone, just enough color without it being too obvious. The powder is very delicate, use a light touch. It tends to make a bit of a mess.

Give yourself a Glow
-04.23.13
Quick Take: beautiful, lasting, glowy, perfection
This stuff is unreal. It does not make you break out and it gives you a really nice, healthy glow. It's great stuff. Pricey, but lasts 4-6 months. I get compliments when I wear it. LOVE.

Not a good buy
-04.16.13
This product falls apart everytime you pass the brush on...and if fall everywhere. This issue would not be a problem if the product would cover areas and would provide a glow but it trully truly does not do that at all! even a friend tried it and agreed. I wish I coudl retrun it..i am going to see if i can do so even though I do not have the box

Gorgeous and Natural Color
-04.06.13
Quick Take: natural looking, luminous glow
Gorgeous Color!!! One very helpful tip when applying this is to remember to be gentle when applying with your brush. I use a small flat end bronzing brush, lightly skim the top of the bronzer, and tap off the excess. I then apply and sweep it with a bronzing brush to remove any harsh lines. A little will definitely go a long way with this product. It's so natural looking and gives that nice sun-kissed look. I AM INLOVE WITH THIS PRODUCT!!!

Retake, gentle hand required
-03.08.13
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking, luminous glow
Just wanted to update to be fair: you need a very gentle hand when picking this powder up with a brush, a very gentle "caress" is all you need, if you go at it like it's hard, solid, pressed powder you'll get the same outcome I got the first time I tried it, now that I know how to apply it, I love it. I have medium-olive skin and the colour is just right, it's beautiful, natural, and flattering ... the argan, bearberry and vit. c are bonuses

Love the concept, but fatal flaw
-03.06.13
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking, luminous glow
I have "sun spots" and was looking for a natural bronzer or blush to add some colour to my face that wasn't fake looking and potentially blend out the unevenness. The colour is beautiful, but like others have indicated, I just started using mine this morning, and the powder is crumbly, so when your brush hits it, powder goes flying everywhere and your brush is literally drenched in the stuff. It's a really weird and unpleasant consistency. I ended up looking really yucky because I put too much on. I don't want to return it but I may have to. I am going to try and extremely gentle hand tomorrow and if that doesn't work, I'm returning it. Also, probably a very fat soft brush will be required.

fantastic bronzer
-02.22.13
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking, luminous glow, lightweight
this is one of my favorite bronzers. it is matte, no sparkles or glitter which is so important! i love that is is natural and has argan oil to help treat my skin. it is buildable coverage and the bronze color looks very natural- not dirty or orange. also feels nice and lightweight on the skin. makes my skin look warm, radiant and very healthy.

so so bronzer
-02.11.13
Quick Take: mediocre
I bought it because when I tried it in the store, it had great coverage! A very nice non-shimmery color too, however when I got it home and tried it, it was super-powdery leaving dust everywhere! Too bad because I loved the coverage,
I did end up returning it :(

Beautiful color
-01.23.13
The color was great. It was a very pretty and subtle but build-able. The reason why I returned mine was that the powder got everywhere. I am constantly on the go meaning I am putting my face on anywhere other than a makeup table or bathroom so I can't have bronzed all over my blouse or pants. If it were reformulated so that it wasn't as "dusty" every time the bristles on my brush touched it I would but it again.

Not bad...
-01.22.13
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking
I bought this bronzer because the bronzer I had been using wasn't in stock at the time, so I figured I'd give another brand a shot.
I really enjoyed the color and it blends really well. The only thing I do not like about this product is that you barely have to touch the bronzer with your brush and your brush is covered, almost too much. I always shake it off a little. It also leaves a lot of loose powder behind in the case, which I wish it didn't. It's kind of messy.
Overall though, I'd say it's a nice bronzer, but I don't think I'd buy it again.

great product, build-able bronzer, not sure it minimizes the appearance of sun damage but its one of the best bronzers ive had, lasts a long time only con is it doesnt stay "pressed" in the container, i use a brush to apply and it has turned more to a loose powder

Absolutely Love This!!
-01.01.13
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking, luminous glow
I absolutely adore this bronzer. It makes my skin glow! It feels light on my skin and is easy to apply. I have sensitive skin and I am allergic to SPF on my face. This product does not aggravate my skin. I haven't use this product during the summer months yet, but thus far, I am completely satisfied.

I feel like this does help with evening out your skin tone and goes on very light, but compared to some other bronzers it just doesn't measure up

Awesome Bronzer for light skin tones!
-12.04.12
Quick Take: natural looking
I absolutely love this bronzer because it is not to intense in color or heavy in it's formula. Very light and easy to blend with your base foundation. It also has argan oil infused into it which I have definitely noticed to be very helpful on any dry patches I have.

I love the color this product gives my skin. And it is a good value as a very little goes a long way. I only need to dab my brush to get the right amount. I think it is helping my sunspots on my cheeks too. Love this product!

My Daily Bronzer
-10.18.12
Quick Take: natural looking, luminous glow
GREAT product. Note: a little bit goes a long way with this one. Like another reviewer said, a good blending brush would help.
I am fair, and use a traveling givenchy kabuki brush that is thick and does not blend very well. In this case I use a little bit at a time, I am in love with this product, it still spreads well.
I've normally used matte bronzers by preference but this one has the slightest shimmer, which makes your skin look really moisturized and healthy. Must be the argan? I'm now sold on her product line in general. Very pleased.
