Hey guys, so I'm back with another review; this time it's the Essence Bronzing Powder in 10 Sunkissed for blondes/lighter skin. I picked up this product because I heard a really good recommendation for it and since it was only $5.35 at priceline I jumped at the opportunity to own a cheap effective bronzer. When I was buying it, I noticed the powder did look a bit light and a bit dry, but I thought "the reviews say it's great, BELIEVE!"
So when I got home I eagerly opened the package and swatched it on my wrist annnnnndddddddd.... it was the biggest let down EVER! (Ok bit of an exaggeration) but it's probably in top 5 most disappointing products. The packaging wasn't anything specially, but that's fine because it's not all about packaging is it? But the powder itself was really chalky and dry and had no pigmentation at all. I literally scrubbed the surface of the powder and barely any came off and looking at it, it seemed as if the product hadn't even been touched. The powder itself was so light that it would be more suited as a face powder instead of a bronzer and I'm usually around the second lightest foundation shade so I couldn't imagine anyone darker than me using it. The stand only had one shade despite the back having a shade number and range but I don't think I'll buy it again even if it comes darker just because of the consistency.
It's safe to say that I did return it and it was sad to have a product that was disappointing from the Essence range because I do love some of their products.
Anyway, have any of you tried products that didn't rise to the occasion lately? Tell me below!
Talk to you soon!
