I love this product, but I think it gave me pimples ...

Someone who knows the ingredients in this product? I can't find it on the Internet and you can't buy this procuct in Sweden anymore (I live in Sweden). I would be very grateful if someone could type it here.

I loved this bronzer so much, ad even got my mum into it....then they discontinued it!!!! Eugh!

Anyways, the colours (I had a brown one and my mum had the peach toned one) were amazing. Id even use some of the single colours as eyeshadows!!!! the only issue i had every now and then is if i was too heavy handed with my podwer brush id look stripy!!! BUT the colours were lovely. Gonna have a google and see if there are any available anywhere :)

I absolutely love this powder. Whilst it may be a little too bronze for me to use all over, a light brush on my cheekbones makes them look wonderfully glowy, its just perfect! Also the palest gold-ish colour looks amazing as a highlight on the brow bone, and the other colours can be doubled up as an eyes shadow too, so most definitely a multi purpose product. A little on the expensive side but worth the money, would definitely recommend and buy again.

this palette of bronzers is amazing! and is really pretty just to look at. its hypoallergenic and 100% fragrance free, so if you have acne-prone or sensitive skin it wont irritate it. also, i have been using the lightest color individually as a highlight for my cheeks and for my eyes. it works beautifully. you could bring this if you wanted to pack light for a trip because it doubles as eye shadow as well as an amazing bronzer. i love this product.

I'm in love with this. One huge plus is that I bought it for $20 at my local CCO. I was debating between the peach bronze and this one, so I did swatches on my hand. I'm Asian, medium skin toned and the peach bronze didn't show up enough. I absolutely love how this gives me a healthy glow. I use it only on my cheeks. The only thing I'm not too fond of is it's a little too shimmery for my taste. But then again, the name IS shimmering tones. =)

I love this product! It's a bronzer, a blush and a highlighter all in one. The only thing I am a little upset about is that three of the squares fell out one morning. I own the colour peach bronze, which I bought in France. (Sometimes the colours have different names in diff. countries.)

I have medium skin, dark hair, bought 04 Bare Bronze.

Love this - has a great shimmer which doesn't look OTT on older skin. Really illuminates the cheekbones.

Excellent on eyes too, great for highlighting under brows.

Very impressed, will look at buying in other shades. Wouldn't mind a slightly darker one as this is fairly light on me, more of a highlighter than a blush.

UPDATE
Since bought 01 which looked very similar but has darker shades on closer inspection. Definiately a darker bronzer/blusher, still with a nice shimmer. Have to be careful to put on completly dry skin as will stick in 1 place otherwise (and made me look like a clown).

Colors I own: Shimmering Sweets and Bare Bronze. for a while i was craving the Shimmering Whites too, but i found out these pastels are actually iridescent and that turned me off completely. pastel highlighter does wonders for my face, but iridescents does quite the opposite, especially the ones in Shimmering Whites contains iridescent blue, green, and purple! Ick! can't think of a faster way to look dead!

Retail: $28.50

Packaging: comes in a translucent square compact with no brush or mirror. each color is a checker board of 5 different shades (i think).

Texture: feels drier and is not as soft as some other powders/blushes/highlighters I have, but it does its job well so no complains here

Fragrance: none

Pigmentation: quite pigmented with high shimmer, so go easy on that application!

Color description:
- Shimmering Sweets:
- Bare Bronze:

General Comments:

The Bare Bronze is great, but I like to think of it more as a highlighter with "a touch of sun" rather than a "bronzer." It has a lot of shimmer and while that's great for a night out in town, it requires lots of blending for a more natural look during the day. I particularly like the fact that it is multipurpose and the individual squares can be used as eye shadows (love the individual colors in the Bare Bronze), or a corner of three squares together makes a certain shade of blush (this is especially true with the Shimmering Sweets, which I carry with me at all times!). I was actually heart broken - I mean heart broken - when I finally got online and was all ready to purchase the Shimmering Whites, only to find it was already sold out! DOH! Been searching far and low ever since for that shade :(

I bought this and was really unsure of whether i'd made the right choice or not, it's hardly like I NEED it. But i've been eyeing up this sort of product for ages and thought sod it i'll have it. So I bought bare bronze today. Was really relieved to say other ppp dark haired gals say it's great!
The clinique lady at the counter has always matched me with good stuff, i was stuck to think of which one of these to buy so she helped me. I wanted to use them as eyeshadows as well and they are gorgeous and shimmery which is loooovee!

I'm glad that I bought this now - my guilt has gone! And the clinique sa has already matched me to my HG lipstick so this was another hit for her.

I just bought this in Bare Bronze (I have very pale skin, and dark dark hair) and it's a FANTASTIC bronzer/highlighter. I brush it on my cheekbones and then dot a little bit of pink blush on the apples of my cheeks. Perfecto! It's also nice to brush a little bit on your brow bones for a little highlight there.

I have to rave some more about this, cause this is absolutely amazing stuff! I have this in Bare Bronze and it's my ultimate GLOW product. It really gives me a dewy golden goddess look. I would never use this all over, but when I use it as a blush it's perfect. Can be used alone or on top of other blushes/bronzers. Very glad I decided to buy this, another HG! For the record, I have pale skin with hazel eyes and brown hair.

I am frustrated with this purchase! I love Clinique, but this product has way too much shimmer in it. I use the little squares individually as eyeshadows, but I don't recommend sweeping across your face unless it's 10 pm and you're going clubbing. And if you do, DON'T put it on your nose....you will look oily! Also, I HATE that no brush is sold with this item. UGH!

This is my favorite bronzer ever! I have tried soo many but this one wins! I am NC15-NC20 and this looks great on my skin. I even wear this alone with no liquid makeup under and just use blush over it and I'm good to go. Great summer bronzer!

I bought this because there was a Clinique gift. I didn't exactly need another bronzer! I am Asian, medium golden complexion, normal to oily t-zone. I find this bronzer to give me a nice glow, but it doesn't show up on me as well as other bronzers, so it's best to layer this ontop of a pink blush. It's shimmery, but I like that it gives me a healthy sheen. It's quite expensive and there is no mirror in the compact. I doubt I'll ever need to repurchase, but I like this better than the Bobbi Brown shimmerbricks. (Besides, my shimmerbrick broke).

I have both of these colours- Golden Bronze and Peach Bronze. I prefer Golden Bronze as a bronzer and highlighter, and Peach Bronze as a blusher. However, make sure you don't drop these- I have had to repurchase Golden Bronze as I droppped it, and it shattered. It was only a really small distance too. That is probably the only negative aspect about this. The packaging really needs to be improved. And a mirror would be nice too. Golden Bronze makes me glow without looking obvious, and Peach Bronze gives me cheekbones when used as a blusher. These are rather pricey, at £23 each, and are a limited edition- they are fast becoming a cult product, so hopefully Clinique will bring these back as a permanent line. And just make sure you don't drop them!

I did not like this.It is way too dark and it made me look dirty.To give u some background I am of African American background.I would say i am brown skinned like NC500. Even on me this was dirty looking.It is finely-milled and soft but it was too dark and too expensive.You can get something like this from M.A.C for 2/3 the cost.Not a good buy.

Love this! Tried BB Beige Shimmerbrick & hated it, but while I was at Clinique buying more Moisture Surge, I chatted with the SA, who offered to show me their version. I fell in love. Shimmery and light enough to give me a glow, but not so sparkly that I looked cheap. Even better, I managed the same look the next day at home, which doesn't always happen! Nice healthy glow, not too shimmery for daytime. I'm very fair, but purchased the golden bronze, not the peach bronze.

I love this product! I use it to highlight my cheekbones and also use the light color with the darkest color as an eyeshadow combination. Shows up beautifully in pictures...not too harsh. Great for traveling - I don't need to bring a ton of makeup with me. I didn't know that it was limited edition. =(
