Nudey Tuesday: Prestige Sun Baked Mineral Bronzing Powder in "Rich Bronze"

Repurchase: Yes
Price: $11.99 (0.28oz/ 8g)
Product: 9/10
Packaging: 6.5/10
Value: 9/10
Overall Grade: A-
I've been loving the Prestige Skin Loving Minerals Sun Baked Mineral Bronzing Powder in 02 Glam Tan so much that I bought the other, lighter shade in 01 Rich Bronze.
The Packaging: The bronzer is packaged in a cheap, bulky, plastic case. I really don't like the case as it just seems to take up a bunch of room -I'd prefer a thinner, rounder case. I also feel that it'll break if I'm not careful.
The Product: Like Glam Tan, Rich Bronze has a smooth and silky texture and gives off a dewy glow. It's very shimmery so it needs to be used with a light hand and be buffed out. It also lasts for hours (up to 10 but I wash it off after that long) without the help of a primer. And best of all, it doesn't irritate my skin.

The Color: 01 Rich Bronze is a pigmented beige-y bronze that has a hint of rose gold.
This is much cooler than 02 Glam Tan, which is a warmer golden bronze (see review here.) Blended, I can see that Rich Bronze is a little pinker and peachier while Glam Tan is darker and more golden but with subtle peachiness. Warmer toned ladies can still pull off Rich Bronze but I think Glam Tan would be a much better choice.

Overall: Like Glam Tan, I'd definitely repurchase this -but in a color that suits me better. I love the texture and great color payoff of the bronzer but I prefer Glam Tan over Rich Bronze. I think this shade (Rich Bronze) will look amazing on those with fairer skin tones.

Where To Buy: CVS, Rite Aid
