As someone who is pretty pale, I've never been a big fan of bronzer. I bought a Stila bronzer probably 3-4 years ago, used it twice and haven't touched it since. I'm also very prone to being turned orange by skin cosmetics, which is why I don't use mineral foundations like Bare Minerals. So why would I want to wear something that was bright orange in the compact?
Well, I've been wrong this entire time bronzer, and I apologize. After reading a few blogs discussing Cargo's medium matte bronzer and board with my current blush, I decided to give it a try. First, foremost, and most importantly, there is NO sparkle in this formula. If there is one makeup trend that I despise, it's sparkly blush/bronzer/cheeks. It goes on very sheer and builds up wonderfully, a must if you're pale. The package does say it's medium, but as someone whose foundation shade runs between "ghost" and "marshmellow" there's nothing to fear.
This bronzer is actually the first cosmetic item I've purchased this year so far. I've decided I wanted to do things like save up for a house and buy a new car--my '88 Bronco isn't going to last much longer--and all the beauty products I buy in a given year adds up to quite a bit. I'm drowing in eyeshadow and lipstick. I have nail polishes I bought months ago and have yet to wear. I currently don't have a need for much at this point. I really didn't need this, but I know myself and I probably would have bought a dozen cheap blushes or bronzers trying to find something I like. It's just easier to buy the one I know I'm going to be happy with.
However, I do have a special fund set up for Chanel's nail polishes.
