Essence Baby Got Bronze 10 Cinnamon Spice

Bronzer is one of those products that people either love or hate. I was interested in using bronzer in a stick format, and when I saw this one, I decided to try it.

What do I think?
The colour is a bit warmer than I usually buy. It is a bit sticky, making it sometimes difficult to blend it out properly. This is honestly embarrassing for me as I can be a bit lazy with blending things promptly, and unblinded bronzer is noticed quite a lot if it’s not done properly. If it is blended, it does look great, and it does have a lot of staying power.

The smell reminds me of something and I cannot for the life of me remember but it’s a happy memory. It is a very noticeable smell when you use the product. If you dislike the smell you won’t like the product I fear, however, you can use a brush and it won’t matter much. Due to the blending issue, I would not say I would take this on the go. But the format is a nice one to toss in your make-up bag for a holiday or a sleepover.

The bronzer comes in four different colours, but I must say I have never seen any other colour than the one I bought. The colours are:
10- Cinnamon Spice
40- Hazelnut Hug
50- Cozy Coffee Kiss
60- Crush on Caviar
The bronzer retails for €2,95 price and is 5.5 grams.
