I bought this last month together with Nichido’s Final Powder (will do separate review) because I want to try local makeup brands as a way to support the industry. Well, I regret buying this product. As for its claim, this is not a bronzing powder. It can be clearly seen that it's nothing but fine glitters!

The packaging is nice though. It comes with a transparent jar so you can really see how much product was left. And to be, honest it’s quite a steal, it costs P150.00 for 25g. However, i was disappointed with this. It’s more of a highlighter than a bronzer.


A sponge is provided however, I find it useless with this but still keeping it for some other purposes may arise.

I’m keeping this "Bronzing Powder" in my collection so that in case I need to be a fairy or I need some shimmers, I can grab this.

PROS
  • Packaging
  • Very affordable
  • Available in leading department stores nationwide
CONS
  • This is not a bronzer
  • The sponge is not useful
  • Messy
  • Too much shimmer/sparkles
