This is one of those wonder products that if I only had it in my makeup bag with nothing else I would be ok (and a brush to apply it)

I absolutely LOVE this msf. It bronzes, blushes and highlights. Perfection. The bronzey middle bronzes nicely and warms me up, the bottom reddish tone I swipe over my cheeks for a blushey tone and the top shimmer color makes a nice highlight.

I don't understand why this product was not more popular. The only thing that I don't care for is the Wonder woman packaging. It's very juvenille looking. I wouldnt pull this out at a dinner table to touch up. But then again its not polite to touch up your makeup at the table so nevermind. But you get my point. LOL!

This is a big chunk of love right here. Very pretty for the upcoming summer months. All the colors work well together or alone. I went wonder woman crazy when that collection came out this however was my favorite thing out of the collection and one of their eyeshadow quads. This thing is huge, was going to buy a backup but didn't bc when would i run out of this thing???? and i have to many makeup items to use but glad i got it for my collection. Don't worry if it gets wet a little, meaning my two year old son, jaden found my msf on the table and opened it when i wasn't looking and was licking it bc he thought it was a huge cookie, i almost went kamikaze style on him bc i had got it that same night, but it dried and went back to normal. Just be careful if you have little kids like me around that likes to use our makeup items for snacks!

I got this in a swap after reading great reviews from MUA. Great highlighter, bronzer, blush. I usually just swirl all the colors together for a great glow. Depending on your skin color you can wear this lighter all over your face. I am personally not a fan of the Wonder Woman packaging. I always thought MAC was overrated, but because of this product I am officially on the bandwagon.

Great for bronzer and highlighter..Guess what this is also a great item for an everyday eye look..Yes I said it I use this for my fresh face and simple eye look....works great..This is the best MSF I have purchase so far. I am NC50 and this is not to Orange and it gives it just the right sun kissed bronzed look to the face...When I use this for the eyes I use UDPP and this last all day and does not crease at all. I was worried about that but it has great staying power...When I purchased this I used it 2 weeks straight and no dint in it at all. I have a ton left. I have started to stop using it for a while because I want it to last 4 ever...I find myself reaching for it regular still...

I would buy golden lariat again but its so huge I doubt I will ever need to. I loveeeeee these colors . I'm a nc50 with golden undertones and a teeny bit of red too, this msf has a golden highlight, a coral sorta orangey blush, and a midtone brownish powder that i personally dont like to contour with but if you are fair to tannish i can see it working as a highlight for you. I tried using it as a blending eyeshadow it can work but its very warm so I would only use it with certain looks.Anyway I'm getting my spring/summer makeup ready and ladies let me just say Ive used golden lariat msf with rock and republics immoral, macs ambering rose, peachykeen, raisin and omggggggg what a beautiful look it makes. I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the golden side the best and agree with the reviewer that said it makes a fabulous inner eye highlight OMG. Anyway I hate rambling so if you can snatch it up do so!

The colours in this mineralize skin finish are so beautiful! the blusher shade is so nice and buildable on your cheeks, the bronzer is the perfect balance between matte and shimmery however the highlight is a bit yellow for my skin tone and it takes time for me to make it work .
overall love this and it's so huge, so worth the bit extra money :)

I am in LOVE!! This MSF is so huge I don't think I will ever finish it haha. The blush color is a bronzy-coral with shimmer in it..perfect for the spring/summer sun-kissed look. The middle shade I use as an everyday contour color, it the same color as my complexion so it isn't overly dramatic. The highlight color is what has me over the freaking moon. Of course I use it where light reflects (forehead, top of cheeks, nose and chin) But my favorite use is an inner eye highlight...OMG it's awesome!! I have tried to use the while pencil in the past but unless you are very fair it looks weird. This highlighter works great as an inner eye highlight color especially on WOC! I've been doing it daily and it makes my tiny eyes POP!

I would buy this again in a second...but I probably won't need to because there's so much of it. You definitely get your moneys worth with this one!

Golden Lariat is a beautiful MSF that has very pigmented colors that are versatile for all skintones. All of the shades are nice for daily wear. The price was a bit expensive imo (even if it's larger). Currently, I use the lighter golden shade as a highlighter, the brown shade for contouring, or I usually swirl the three colors around for a nice blush shade. NC 45 for reference.

What a lovely product! It combines a gorgeous deep bronzer, a golden peach shimmery blush and a true gold highlighter. You can't miss it for summer! Perfect for brunette complexions. I got it at the airport at the duty free so it was a real steal at about £20!!!! Go out and get it!!!!

I just got this today and its the summer golden look I've wanted for ages, I am seriously considering getting another one. As my skin has strong yellow undertones the gold part of the compact is the perfect highlighter, the peach bronze section works as a blush and eyeshadow (very nice over the coral crepe paint pot from a few collections back). As everything is in the compact there is not much left for me to do except mascara and lipgloss!
The only downside is no mirror! Also I can tell the product is a bit fragile there are a few slight cracks in the surface...can't drop this one!

I am an NC20-25 and love this product!! With a light hand and my 131, this looks flawless, even on such light skin. The key is to lightly apply and build up if need be, otherwise it could be disastrous - but isn't that true with all makeup? I just love it. In the summer when I can layer more it definitely is going to be a gorgeous bronzer (my intentions). The colors are very complimentary, and none compete to outshine each other, they just work flawlessly.

This product is HUGE. I mean, literally as big as my adult hand. I knew they were bigger than normal but this is insanity. I can't imagine ever using it all, even daily & applying a lot of product. I believe it was $35USD, which is a total steal! $5 more than the normal MSFs and so much bigger?! I also got Pink Power, which I love as well.

When I first saw the collection I wanted Pink Power over this but when tried on me it was too light (NC42), so I went ahead and got this as a consolation and I'm so glad I did! First off the highlight is the best highlighter I've ever used! The blush and contour mixed together is my everyday blush and it does not budge, it lasts on me about 8 hours even after P90X workout. These colors are so perfect now that summer is coming up, but of course it's LE so will have to use sparingly!

The packaging is so cute but.. I don't know a bit child ish.. I'm not much of a Wonder Woman fan, so prob that why LOL. I feel like I'm using my little sister's toy make up. But anyway, I love this product esp the highlight ! Honestly the highlighter/blush/bronzer for this price & the amount of product you get? ITS a STEAL! The packaging is larger than the other mineralize skin finishes. The highlight is a perfect shade of gold and light enough to be seen. The Blush could be a little more darker but it's fine. I was looking for something like NARS Taj Mahal, this comes a little! little close so I don't mind. Its a perfect glow for summer and winter !

This is so bomb. I had tried it on at the store, but didnt get it. And I was conteplating about it for so long, they ended up being sold out. They were sold out online, and finally they had some back in stock. So its on its way in the mail, and I am soooo happy. The gold side was nothing like gold deposit, gold deposit looked like a bunch of fall out. This golden side in GL was like speckled pieces of highlight, its just perfect. The bronzer side gold be used as a contour or a blush. And the copper side could be used as a blush/or bronzer. This whole thing is just bomb to me. Mac came wit it when they made this.

Ok. So I usually wait to use a product a couple of times before reviewing but this ish right here? Omg! Bomb! My UPS package came early so Im just lounging at the house with no make up on. I also got Studio Fix spray and I did spray that on my face so I assume that made a difference. Anyway, I put the msf on my face and was like wth I don't see nothing. I went into my bathroom to put everything up and caught a glimpse of myself in my closet mirror. Honey, I had to do a double take! My skin looked sooooo pretty! I feel like I need to wear foundation when I leave the house because my skin has gotten so bad since I had my daughter but I can totally see leaving the house with just my primer, fix and Golden Lariat, no foundation! Whoo hoo! I don't know how to contour and all that but this was a great investment! So ladies, get it while u can! **For reference I'm Nars Trinidad and would be NW44(NW 45 is too dark and NW 43 is too light).

I was bummed because my MAC only got 6 of the Pink Power MSF's e in, orginally, so by the time I got to the Wonder Woman collection, those were already sold out! So I bought the Golden Lariat, which is beautiful. Then, this week, they somehow got a few more of the Pink Power, so I bought one of those, too! These are a great value, gorgeous, and I love the Wonder Woman theme. I haven't gotten a chance to play around too much with them yet, but so far, they are lovely. I am sure both of them will be great through the different seasons. I am a pale girl, but I bet the Golden Lariat will be great with a summer tan. And even now, I wear it!

The only negative is NO MIRROR. Otherwise, this would have been perfect! Oh, and that my MAC MUA said that mineralized skin finish in Medium Deep natural is the middle of Pink Power, which I already have. But swirling these is beautiful, and separately, too.

There has been negative talk about Golden Lariat on you tube because it has an orange-ish tint, but it works for me, which is surprising! Just a summery bronze!

i just got this today and i love it. they are $35 but after temptila describe how you were getting double the MSF for only $10 the price is good for that amount. i love the bronzer in the middle. it works like a contour color for my NW45 skin. the highlight is pretty but i probably wont use it alot and the blush i beautiful. overall it's a good product to invest in.
