Revolution Glow Splendour Bronzer Medium

Usually when I buy the colour ‘medium’ it’s always right. Sometimes more of a summer colour, sometimes even a winter colour. Now I am in no way shape or form dark enough to be considered medium and for the first time I have found a product that I bought and thought, you know what it’s actually a bit dark for me. Even though 8 colours are still not enough the colours are much richer than other brands.

What do I think?
The packaging is so cute, this is what Revolution does so well. I love the big mirror as it makes it easy to do the rest of my make-up while using it. The colour although a bit dark and you don’t need much is difficult to work with I can make it work. The product contains 15.5 grams which is a lot. I just have one problem with the product, which I understand to be a very personal issue but an issue nonetheless. The smell of the product is ghastly. Truly it stinks, and I know smell is so subjective but every time I use it and I happen to smell it I am reminded that it’s bad. It’s like sweetly sour, I cannot describe it. So no matter how pretty, this product is a hard pass for me.
