I got this in light Matte. Its nicely scented with a cute imprint of a sun in the powder. A bit too orangey on my pale skin therefore not very natural. After trying this I bit the bullet and bought Benefits Hoola at £23.50 worth every penny wish I hadn't wasted money on the rimmel.

I am very pale so finding a bronzer that doesn't turn me a nasty shade of terracotta is a difficult feat but this one is lovely!
The lightest tone they make is perfect for English Roses like myself as it doesn't have any orange undertone- and can be built up gradually to achieve a natural golden glow with a little shimmer- perfect for dinners out when on holiday.
I also use it to create contour lines when I have time to spend on my makeup.
A great value, great performance product.

Ive been using this bronzer for years and have switched from the shimmery to the matte after someone asked my why I was sweating!:/
I use it in light, and you can literally use as much as you want, as long as its in light, as it just dosen't go orange. You can also apply this without even looking as it just so easy to blend. I don't think this bronzer has much wow factor but I'd definitely snap it up if I was in need of a bronzer :)

Ive been using this bronzer for a least a year now and I dont see myself ever changing to another one. I have quite pale skin that needs a touch of bronzer to avoid me looking too washed out and having people asking if I feel okay! I use this in medium and apply with a large bronzer brush on my cheekbones. Just a quick dab and my face is instantly transformed from pale to having a lovely sunkissed glow! What I love about this bronzer is that you actualy do end up looking just nicely tanned and not tangoed and theres none of that over the top glittery stuff. Love it!

I got this bronzer in medium matte and it's perfect. Matte because I think shimmery bronzers don't look good when contouring. I was going to get the one in light matte but it wouldn't show up on my skin coz i'm not pale but im not dark either. It turned out to be a great product. It does not look orange on me but i'm pretty sure if I dusted it all over my face then it would. Definitely worth checking out :)

Update: Don't use it anymore. There ARE better bronzers out there lol

I bought this on a whim with my roommate on a vacation in Cali. I loved the price and was in dire need of some warmth on my face. I got the one in Sunlight because I wasn't sure of what color to get, so I just got the lightest one. This product just warms my face up very nicely. It isn't dark and gives me that natural glow that I wanted. It does seem a bit orangey if i apply too much, so with a light hand I apply it over my cheeks, temples, and contour areas. I will definitely repurchase, if I ever run out... it is a lot of product that you get for such a great price.

I bought this in 003 color (its the newer packagin without the little sun design in the powder). I bought ti because I love how big the compact is and its really cute! I thought it would be a nice bronzer BUT it was WAY ORANGE...like ridiculous..so I returned it today and get my $9.99 CDN back from Shoppers Drug Mart

Got this in medium matte, which is just what it is. Not too orange and lasts well. Very cheap as i bought it as part of a set. Good cheap bronzer.

i dont know which one this is, but it comes with a top so here are my thoughts
(1) its soft and highly pigmented
(2) i dropped it and it broke :( and it was all over my bathroom floor .. not nice
(3) its cheap and has a nice glow to it
so (4) i like it :) but im defiantly looking for something better
