Model Co Glow Baby Glow Bronzer


Say hello to the most enormous bronzer you will ever encounter. This is seriously almost as big as my head, and I love it!

I was lucky to receive this when I won Amy's Giveaway from over at Bottled beauty. I was really excited about having another bronzer because that is an area in my collection where (believe it or not) I don't actually have that many. What I wasn't anticipating was the unbelievably enormous size of it! It's half the size of my head!

Packaged in a bronze case with metallic gold writing, it certainly gives off the glowing goddess beachy vibe. It's really simple and contains no real detail or decoration which I think works perfectly and makes it really effective. It has one of those wonderful latches that you simple press and it opens, making it easy to open when you are in a hurry or your nail polish is wet.

Imprinted in the powder is a simple pattern of lines extending outwards in a circular motion. This pattern disappears within 5 or so uses. The bronzer is a lovely light brown shade that isn't too orange. I think there is nothing worse than an orange toned bronzer, but I really had no trouble with this bronzer. It contains some very fine golden shimmer all throughout that does catch the light when you are in direct sun. Ideally for me, the bronzer would be matte however it doesn't make it unusable and certainly still looks gorgeous on the skin, it just needs to be used more as a way of warming up the face than actually creating contours.

It is quite pigmented and does need to be used carefully with a light hand, though it's pretty easy to work with if you know what you are doing. It is reasonably long lasting and will stay the duration of the day although I apply it quite lightly in the beginning and therefore it can be quite hard to spot by the end!

Unfortunately the pan that would normally be glued to the rest of the packaging has fallen out and it often makes the lid jam when I am trying to close it. I don't think it's that the packaging is poor or faulty in any way, in fact I expect that happened when it was bouncing around in the back of a postage van!

I really love this bronzer and have been getting so much use out of it. I can't see myself ever finishing it because it is just so hilariously huge, but it's a lovely shade that works really well with my pale skin.

    1. I agree, it's a lovely wearable kind of shade for those with pale skin. So true actually, I'd not recognised that but now you mention it, it is really quite similar! x

    1. The shimmer is pretty toned down which I why I really enjoy using it. The size is a bit intimidating though, I feel like I'll never even make a dent in it! x

  4. Wow it does look like such a huge pan! It looks like a nice shade that I would reach for. I love my bronzers too especially during the hotter months when I get more tanned . Make Me Up Mandy
