SImple, easy-to-open packaging. I bought this product after being very disappointed with Physician's Formula's Wakiki Strip shimmer strips "bronzer" and found the user-friendly compact a HUGE relief after the difficult-to-open shimmer strips.
If you have cool or neutral undertones, this may show up as a little orangey, but on warm skintones it doesn't look orange at all. It's moderately pigmented and it's got a subtle shimmer-- still a little glittery for my tastes, though. If you have medium-tan skin with warm undertones and are looking for a subtle bronzer that isn't necessarily matte, this is it. If your skin is already dark, though, I wouldn't bother-- this only barely shows up on my Asian/Indian medium-toned skin because it's winter and I haven't been in the sun much. Any tanner and I could probably use this for plain powder.
Bottom line: an okay product, but I just don't find myself reaching for it very often. Will not repurchase because I will likely never hit pan.

I have been using this for YEARS. I bought this I don't know how long ago and I still have plenty of product left.. I'm 20 and I bought it sometime in high school, maybe four years ago? It was one of the first things I bought for my makeup collection. Anyway, I am asian, very yellow/golden-toned and tan. So for me, slight orange tinge looks good and not fake. I use this with a very light hand where I would normally put blush (cheeks all the way back to the ear/hairline) for a natural glow. Also, I didn't like the way it picked up on my brush in the original packaging so I took scissors, mashed the entire thing up into fine (as fine as I could get it, anyway) powder and put it in a sifter jar. LOVE it like this. It looks scary orange in the jar but I use it with a light hand and it works wonders. Wouldn't suggest for pale/fair olive-toned ladies though!

Stumbled across this on sale for my quest for a cheap bronzer. This is too orangey for me, but I have light olive skin. I can't pull off orange in any capacity.

i wanted to like this one.
i wanted to like it so bad. physician's formula, in the shape of a cute little sunflower, you know, what's not to like?
that was before i ever tried it on my face.. first thing to take note of is the muddy orangey tone of the bronzer. not a good sign in a bronzer. you do NOT even want a hint of orange - that's the first step to looking unnaturally oompa loopma-esque. secondly was how dirty it made my face look. not tanned or bronzed at all, like i had literally been rolling in DIRT & gotten all dusty..
i would not recommend this product to ANYONE, especially if it was going at some places for 25 friggen dollars (seriously? go take that bad boy back & get you a store discount)
i know physician's formula is usually the pricier drugstore brand, but SHEESH. i've never seen it that expensive. i think mine was something like 7 - 8 bucks. granted, eight bucks too many for an orangey, dirty-faced outcome to the whole fiasco, but eh, ya live and ya learn. [: continued >>

I bought this product tonight at K-mart. I bought it for $1.12 full sized. I have been buying discounted BEAUTIFUL name brand make up for about 3 months now and I have quite the collection. It's a decent bronzer. I cannot complain.

This product is alright. I like that its dark enough and that you don't have to pack it on to see a bronzing effect. The only thing i don't like is that it wears off quickly and it leaves behind sparkles .I also hate how expensive it is, its like $25, its not worth it. Like it doesn't last long enough, like I can only see it for like 10 minutes. The packaging is great. It doesn't work and its too expensive and thats why i wouldn't buy it again.

This was one of the first makeup products I ever purchased at the tender age of 16. I am almost 20 and I still use it! It's honestly one of the best bronzers I have come across. Although I am not Asian, I have about the same skin tone with yellow undertones, but not as sallow/jaundice-looking.
The shimmer in it doesn't have huge gold flecks. They're just right to add the warmth. The yellow of the sunflower blends with the bronze and is just right to sweep under my cheekbones. It's not too harsh, but it's still noticeable. Very good for contouring and it doesn't irritate my face. On some days I can even put it on my nose for a very dewy look. It is VERY NICE to put all over the body with a big brush! It's even believable on the legs!
I wouldn't say it's dirt cheap because it costs $11.95. That's a little expensive for a drugstore bronzer, but it is a quality product. I would like to say that it lasts long, but it does not. Very few times I saw the bottom of the pan soon enough, but all the others it just broke because of the crap packaging. I normally don't break pressed powders, but this one always finds away to break, whether falling on carpet or shuffling around in my purse. The sunflower is awfully cute, though. :3

This is a good bronzer for my light (NC 15 in MAC) skin. The packaging is very cheap and tacky looking, but I don't care because I am the only one who sees it :p The design of the flower on the bronzer is very cute. The shimmer in it is pretty, not overpowering. It will give a dewy look. This gives me a nice, natural looking tan glow. I have very yellow undertones in my skin, and the yellow undertones of this bronzer definitly helps even out my skintone and make my skin look more flawless. Is definitly for lighter skintones with more bronze/yellow in them. The appearance of this product on your skin is less of a true, deep bronze tan and more of a golden glow. Go lightly at first and let it sink in for a few minutes before you add more. I wear this on my face, neck and chest to give me a nice glow. Would not reccommend if you don't like a 'dewy' or shimmery/natural look, because as I said before it does have shimmer in it.

This bronzer is pretty good if your looking to get a golden glow, but if your looking to get a tanned look this is not for you(maybe if your very pale). It gives my medium skin(with yellow undertones)a nice healthy glow after i've applied my foundation and matte powder. If I didn't my face would look too matte and blah. However don't use too much because this bronzer has a lot of shimmer to it. I might repurchase again because a nice golden glow looks nice on people with yellow undertones, but it's a bit too shimmery.

This is the first bronzer I've ever tried, and though I might experiment with something different next time, I'll keep this one in the running as my "go to" pick. I have a fair/medium complexion with orange undertones and wear a medium/full coverage makeup. I'm also at school under harsh fluorescent lighting all day. A brush of this keeps me from looking too pasty and more natural. Plus it's pretty reasonably priced, and seems to last forever! I've used it daily for the past 3 months, and from what I can tell, still have a ton left. It also has a good staying power and doesn't fade away by the end of the day.

I actually have tried both Sunnybuddy and the new one Sunnybunch (the one with the 3 little sunflowers) Of them both, I prefer the latter because it's not as dark and it is so gorgeous. Both of these are great bronzers, they are much different than other bronzers I've tried because they are multi-colored. While some PF bronzers have been far less impressive (the Revined one, Moonlight one) this actually gives me a sun kissed glow I crave.

I found this be a perfectly good bronzer. The first day I used it all my customers(I am a bartender) said that I had a "beautiful glow." So I would rate this as working well. You do need to be slightly darker complected to use this product, just be careful not to overuse or you will look orangey.

I put this on my cheekbones thinking it would brighten me up. It made me look orange! I have a golden tan to my face in the summer. Ick I hate this and am needing a new bronzer that works. You know you don't look right when your husband notices you have color on your face!

I don't actually own this; my Mom uses it and I was putting my makeup on in her dressing room and decided to use it. I applied it *lightly* with a Benefit brush and it actually looked quite nice on my fairer skin (my Mom has a darker skin tone). I don't think I'd buy it because I know of better bronzers I'd rather have but I was surprised by the versatility and ease of application with this one.

This made my cheeks look orange/rust-like. Not pretty at all. I have fairly smooth Asian skin on the paler side. That's probably why it didn't look right. Mabe I need to do some self-tanning so I don't look so washed out this winter. My hair is darker now than in the summer and so I definitely don't want a pale face. I still will probably look for a different bronzer. The packaging is kind of cheesy too.

I like the idea of this product. A broner with skin benefits (anti-oxidents, etc.) built in. It's a nice shade and I'm pleased with the way it applies, however the colour is too light for me and didn't show at all. I thought the golden sunshine on this was just sprayed on, but it's not - it's in the whole compact and that lightens the pigment just too much for my skin. However, I will use this in combination with a darker bronzer and benefit from it's properties.
