I got this 75% off and decided to try it. I've seen the Happy Booster line and been intrigued by it due to youtubers talking about this. I have to admit that I am not the biggest fan of Physicians Formula. I usually find it to be an overpriced drugstore brand. Surprisingly, I really like this shade. I picked up a few of the other shades too but have yet to try them. This one is great for when I want to do a no foundation day and just use primer and a little bit of this to warm up my face. the little pink heart is great to add a little bit of color to my cheeks too. Dare I say this is my first "hit" from this brand?

I've tried other Physician Formula Bronzers and I like them much better than this one. I will not re-purchase this one again. It is too shimmery when used all over my face. It would be fine as a cheek highlighter, as it gives a nice glow. I did not find it orangy, but rather very natural. So in the colour respect it's very beautiful. I did not like how it's hard for the brush to pick up the powder. It seems like it's baked on so hard in the pan, that you'd have to scrape it with a knife to get the colour you want. I think that's a general problem with this style of PF powders (I also experienced it with a similar PF face powder - not a bronzer). So, in general - this is great if you want it as a highlighter, but not as an all over face - bronzer (unless you want to look like a disco ball). I found that the Rimmel powder is a nice matte alternative and cheap (although it doesn't last as long as PF - so price is same in the end).

I'm so in love with this bronzer!!!!! I use it mainly to contour with, its very pigmented, it doesn't look too shimmery, it doesn't come off cakey and it last all day on me. I love the packaging, anything pink is super cute, the brush is cute too but I don't really use it unless im in a rush and sweep it all over my face and down my neck...when I contour I use a angled brush. But overall I love this bronzer, Physicians Formula makes the best drug store bronzers, I cant wait to try the mood boasting blush in warm

the only small thing I don't like... I wish the mirror was in the bronzer section, its hard to apply it with that mirror, because you gotta keep switching back from the mirror to the bronzer..and back n forth etc. I usually just use another mirror, but if you had to use the compact, it would be kind of annoying. but that's the only thing. overall I like it and will buy it again

I'm reviewing the Happy Bronzer and Blush (the bronzer with the three pink hearts) and I was not too impressed. Like many drugstore products, it's almost like there is a film over the top that you need to get past to get any product on the brush. The first few tries yielded next to nothing. I finally scratched through is and only the pink hearts deposit anything, almost nothing for the bronzer, and I'm pretty light. I don't really notice a smell at all. The finish is pretty, but I have to add several layers to see it, not worth my time on a busy morning. The clasp on the case broke and fell off during the first week. Cute idea, but it didn't make me happy paying so much for something that did so little. Many better options out there! Will not repurchase.

I've been interested in trying to master the art of using a bronzer (yet) again. I'm fairly pale and am a NC25 in Studiofix and I wear Sand Beige in Revlon's Colorstay. I was afraid that this bronzer would be too dark for me but it actually goes on very sheer and has a lovely sheen to it. The little pink heart adds just enough pinkish tone to the bronzer that I don't end up looking orange. So, I found it to be a great color and this is the regular bronzer not the light bronze either. OK, now here are the cons: expensive for a drugstore product and the dang thing broke up completely inside the compact!!! I had read a few reviews that this was happening but I made the mistake of "assuming" those folks had thrown the compact in their purse, dropped it, etc. This was not my case. I keep my compact in a drawer with all my other cosmetics so its in a stable environment and the thing still crumbled!!! I plan on dumping the entire contents into another container and still use it but the point was, I wanted something easy and protable to use and for almost $15 bucks, that's really unacceptable to me. Beautiful color, crappy execution. Based on the crumbling alone, I don't see myself re-purchasing. Note to Physician's Formula: fix the crumbling issue and I think you've got a winner.

Works great and super adorable! I like that you can cistomize how dark or light you want to go. This makes it wearable for me when im super pale in the colder months. The pink heart is nice too since a swipe over it means it doubles as blush and I live multitasking products. I take this with me when I travel so I can pack less. Best part... Its not orange! Not too shimmery either, just right. Will def repurchase!

I like this bronzer alot. The color is not too shimmery and for contouring is what I love to use it for. The scent on the product is nice not too much but you can definetly smell it. Overall the color pigmentation is good, the amount of product is also good. The packaging is a bit bulky and I would rather it have no brush and be more compact than to have a brush that Im sure almost no one uses and the package being too bulky. A bit pricy for being a drugstore product but if you get those extra bucks maybe you can use them towards this purchase.

This is a great, truly "bronzing" bronzer. There is absolutely no traces of orange whatsoever in this product, even once applied. There's several multi-sized hearts with different shades of brown. (From sand to chocolate brown.) Also, there is one random pink heart in the mix which actually is a nice touch when you swirl your brush in the circular compact, it picks up all the different shades and once applied it's beautiful! I'm using the darker bronzer by the way, it's better suited for my NC35 skin, I'd say. It really warms up my face with a nice, natural glow with slight shimmer. These are approximately $20(CAD) but I scored mine at 50%! You get 11g of product in a nice circular compact. It flips open, and underneath you'll find a generously sized mirror and a little brush. To be honest, the little brush is kind of useless so just stick to your own blush brush. As for mood boosting? Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again: Physicians Formula is against animal testing, so right away I'm feeling good about purchasing a product that wasn't tested unethically. : )

I'll be honest, I purchased this around Valentine's Day this year (I believe that's when it was released) because of the cute heart design. That said, this is a nice bronzer for me. It doesn't show up as very shimmery on my cheeks (a good thing for me because I have very oily skin). I have medium-to-tan skin, and with one good swirl around the whole pan, I get a nice shade for a little contouring--not too dark as to show up muddy, but it doesn't disappear on my face, either. I haven't noticed that I get any color at all from the little pink heart--I suspect that may be for show or it may add a tiny bit of shimmer if you use a brush that's small enough to get JUST that color? I suppose I "would" repurchase, but I don't use bronzer often, so I'll have this around for quite some time (in addition to a couple of other bronzers that I rotate into my routine).

The actual case is fine, although it feels a bit flimsy. I don't use the little brush that's included in the compartment underneath, so that was a bit of a waste, but it's not that big of a deal.

Great product, but leaves my face a little powdery. I would buy again, though.

This bronzer is pretty good. The packaging is pretty good since they changed the color.
Unless you get this on sale it's pretty $$$
I think mine was 14$ but I end up paying 10$
The colors blend in pretty well as well.
I would give this product 3 1/2

First off, I got this in a swap! so many thank yous! People say the packaging is tacky? I love it! the smell may bother some. But i really like it. Just for reference. Im olive skinned, with alot of orange pigment in my skin. so most bronzers work for me. This one gave me a nice glow. a little bit of shimmer but that doesnt bother me. it lasted all day long for me. (and i live in Georgia texas) it did fade a BIT. I can see it being a tad too dark for VERY pale ladys. But for people with my complexion it works really well!

I wanted to love this cute little bronzer sososo much. I love the cute hearts (which run ALL the way through the bronzer) and the pink packaging. Sadly, that's pretty much all I love about it. The color doesn't show up very well. It shows up mostly as shimmer. Something else that I don't like is how easily it shattered. I dropped it from about 5 feet on, and despite being in a makeup bag, it shattered into nothing (sad face). That's not good, because I have powders that have survived falling down the stairs multiple times...

May it rest in peace <3

I bought this at CVS while all of pf was 40%off and it also had a $3off coupon on it so I hot it for around $4 bucks. I like the shiny hot pink case and is smells lovely. I prefer matte but this is not too shimmery.I'm glad I got it on a deal but I would not repurchase for full price. I pick up the blushes too they also had coupons on them they are very pretty I use those more often

Love this product! It made me happy just to see the red shiny compact, with lovely hearts. Get rid of the brush- because it is worthless- and use the holder to store earrings, money, Tylenol ect. I take it with me in my purse because of the mirror and how pretty the packaging makes me feel. The scent is also nice- is an added bonus to the delightful packaging

Okay I own three of these adorable things now- I think the plasticky pinkness of it is slightly cheap and childish looking, sure. But the actual heart imprint combined with the smell? Seriously just ADORABLE and I cannot resist them. This is a good bronzer. My new thing is bronzer, and I have tried a decent amount. This one is not orange, which is the first and most important thing (In my opinion) about a bronzer. In fact, no PF bronzer I've ever used has been orange. Secondly, it is shimmery, but in a flattering way, one that I feel I can pull off, not overly glittery. I love it. Would recommend.
