Catrice Sun Glow Minarel Bronzing Powder Review

I love Catrice! Arguably the cheapest drugstore brand at Guardian next to Silkygirl.

Previous Catrice product review Catrice Allround Mascara link here.

This is the Sun Glow Minarel Bronzing Powder review.

The product.

The product inside. It had an obvious dome shape.

Product description.

It gives the skin the subtlest loveliest glow. If you’re any shade lighter than me it’ll bronze up your skin beautifully!

Description: A bronzer that comes in one shade, 010, Golden Light. It comes in 8 grams or 0.28 oz of product.

Where to buy: Guardian stores nationwide.

Price: MYR 24.90 (please wait for a promotion or discount!)

 

Pros:

Blends like a dream.

That glow is so subtle yet so beautiful.

Even tanned skin can use it to give the skin a beautiful glow.

Large pan for the price.

Extra points for packaging.

 

Cons:

Powdery.

 

Rating:

8.9/10

If there’s one product that is fail save from this brand if you have light to tanned skin, this is it! Try it!

Essence Matt Bronzing Powder Review [Updated 28/5/2017 – PRODUCT REPLACED]

[UPDATED REVIEW]

NOTE: THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED BUT THEY DO HAVE A NEW VERSION

I have made it pretty clear that I love Essence as a brand and this particular product is another hit for me. It is the Essence Sun Club Matt Bronzing Powder and I have the shade 02 (Sunny).

Pictures!!! 😀

The product.

Description on the back. Yes, it says 15g! That is a LOT!!!

The product inside…

Yes, the product has imprints (raised prints actually) of two women seemingly either modelling, dancing or posing, however you choose to view it. You can see that I have dug through the middle, attesting to my love for it.

Description: It is a matt bronzing powder, plain and simple. There are two shades and the one featured is for deeper skin tones. There’s a total of 15g (0.52 oz) of product and the product smells like some kind of a coconut dessert.

Where to buy: Watsons [updated 14/072017].

Price: MYR 14.90 (I say this in all my reviews, it’s a drugstore item! Look out for discounts/promos!!!)

 

Swatches…

Upon initial swatch it seems to have a lighter colour on my skin tone. Take a look at the next picture which was taken after about 10 minutes or so…

Now it is hardly noticeable except for a glow on my skin. The colour seems to have oxidised and somehow look warmer than initial swatch. All that would be noticed now would be that glow.

I used the bronzer here on my friend around the perimeter of her face, to give her face dimension and warmth.

I have some on me here but it somehow just blends into my skin. Every time I use this bronzer, people say, “you look glowy huh…” I am guessing that’s a compliment 😛 (Sorry I look like a sourpuss, I probably should have smiled huh…)

 

Pros:

A matt bronzer is always appreciated to use for a guy so that’s pro for me.

It lasts a good 4 hours.

It blends out easily.

Deep, tanned skin friendly.

Although matt, the bronzer has some kind of glow to it giving the skin a healthy finish.

There’s a lot of product and that’s definitely appreciated.

It’s affordable!

 

Con:

The big pan is difficult to store or carry around; not travel friendly.

The coconut scent can be a source of discomfort for people who do not like that scent.

It is a very warm toned bronzer so it may appear orange on people with very fair or cool toned skin shades (even the lighter shade).

 

Rating;

8.5/10

An amazing product I can’t get enough of!
