Officially my HG bronzer. Perfect color match for my skin...very natural and not orange or too shimmery. Love the texture of this stuff--hate that w/ other bronzers as soon as you dip your brush in so much of the product lifts up and gets powdery. Its more money than i'd like to spend but im addicted. Only think i dont like about hte packaging is the little sponge like powder applicator...Don't know about you guys but i would never dream of applying powder bronzer w/ anything but a brush.

My drug store version of this is physician's formula multi-colored bronzer, not as natural but for around $10 much more affordable

Wow!!! NARS has amazing products, and this is no exception. It is extremely versatile, it can be used on so many different skin tones.I have tan/olive skin. This bronzer has just enough shimmer to have some depth to it, but it doesn't looking shimmery or glittery on, it gives such a healthy glow. It's actualyl bronze, and not orange. Comes in a the trademark rubberized case with mirror.

I bought this based on the "glowing" reviews I've read on MUA...I've never worn bronzer before, so I am not sure if it's this product that I'm not crazy about, or just bronzer in general...Maybe I'll give it a go in the summer as a blush and see how it goes...

So, i have only used this product a couple times but I must mention this so far. This morning after i got ready for work my boyfriend commented on how pretty i looked and this was the only thing that was different.

Best bronzer I've tried yet, but I'm still not convinced. I think I'll explore the market some more...BUT this is still a really good bronzer which gives nice color and stays put. It's just not HG stuff..

I never, NEVER thought I could pull off the whole bronzer look, because I'm a PPP, but this is my first bronzer and it just looks awsome! It's easy to apply, but of course you must be careful not to apply too much, but this is my a MUST!!

How can anyone not love this bronzer? So natural and makes me look healthy. Great product! NC40 dark hair/eyes. *EDIT: 3/17/07: This makes me break out. :(

I have finally found the perfect bronzer! I have a very pale complexion and blonde hair - and every bronzer that I try gives me a muddy, orange, powdered look. Not Laguna! This is great. Application is practically foolproof. It gives a subtle glow with a light application - almost so subtle you can't tell it's there - but it glows! Apply a little more and you look sunkissed. Shimmers in the pan but when applied, the shimmer doesn't show on skin as 'shimmer' it just shows as a natural glow. Matte bronzers look muddy and orange because they don't have shimmer to provide natural, light-reflecting qualities. The compact is huge and will probably last me forever! UPDATE: Unfortunately, this bronzer breaks me out (and I *rarely* break out). Whenever I use this my pores get clogged days later - this is definitely the culprit. I won't buy again. The search continues.

Very nice, this bronzer gives that glow-y bronzed look... it is a little expensive though.

A beautiful shimmery golden-bronze color without a hint of orange. Looks great on my yellow-toned, NC20 skin and so far hasn't caused breakouts. Nice paired with Nars blushes for a pop of color on the cheeks. One caveat for fellow oily-skinned gals, be sure to blot later in the day - that bit of oil that makes you look "glowy" on it's own will make you look like an oil slick once you have Laguna on.

I love this bronzer!! I've been wearing it everyday. It gives a very natural-looking tan----not orange-y on me at all. I currently am an NC25 and laguna makes me look like I do when I have a tan in the summer. Love it!

This has become a staple for me. A beautiful bronzer that doesn't streak or make my skin look dirty or orange; rather, I get heaps of comments about how healthy I look when I wear Laguna. Highly recommended.

This is the perfect bronzer. I am very pale with some rosiness in my cheeks and this gives me the most beautiful golden brown glow. I use a big fluffy powder brush to apply and it only takes a few seconds.

This bronzer gave my NC30, asian skin a nice golden glow. Not orange or too brown at all. It's a pretty large pan so it looks like it will last a while, since a little goes a long way. You can also layer it for a darker golden (never orangey) look.

I am jumping on the Laguna bandwagon, this is a natural subtle looking bronzer. The only problem I see is if you are dark skinned than this may not show up all that great. For the fair skinned ladies out there go for it!!

I've been through a lot of bronzers in my time (way back when we used to mix clinique bronzing gel with our face lotion)! My search is finally over. I actually tried Casino first when I had a tan, but it still was a little too dark (FFF). Laguna is just perfect on the top of the cheeks, chin and a little on the forehead. It's a beautiful, natural, not dirty look.

Expensive but its worth it! :) A little goes a long way.. Makes me look healthy and glow-y... like just after a well timed tan! Not muddy brown/fake but natural.. the little bit of glitter in it is not very noticable but it contributes to the overall look. Fantastic! wow!

I didn't think I could love any bronzer more than my Cargo Medium...until I met Laguna. It is the *perfect* tan color for my LLL complexion. It's a yellowy godlen tan with some shimmer for the glow factor!
