A couple of weeks ago, Lipstick Republic was having a store wide sale, and I picked up this bronzer along with the Sleek Acid Palette - see review and swatches here. With the sale, the bronzer came to $4.79, which is pretty unbelievable for a bronzer in Australia. I picked this one over the warm bronzer, as I'm not the biggest fan of shimmery bronzers.
My initial thought of this product was "wow, it's too dark - how can I use this?". Personally, I wouldn't use this colour as a contour on my NC15 skin. However, as a bronzer, it works wonderfully when blended out.
This product is pretty pigmented, and pretty dark. But it is so blendable. I easily blend it if I've put too much product on. Sometimes I like to use the lighter, left hand shades, but for the purposes of this post I've used the four shades mixed together.

I was a bit skeptical when I first saw this in the pan when I got it. I thought it was too dark, but after writing this review I think I'll definitely try to get a bit more use out of it. It is a good bronzer, and for the price you really can't go wrong. I'm happy with this purchase, and I recommend it if you're looking for a matte bronzer.
