Bronze powder review : NYX Tango with bronze powder review - Tan Enthusiasm

i wrote a post before about multi colour blush/bronzer, and this is one of my collection. You can read the post here. I like blush/bronzer/highlighter with more than one colour. they are cute and not boring like one colour only. hehe. although i must admit, that one colour blushes are  actually better in pigmented (base on my experience only). so in my opinion, if you want more pigmented blush just go to regular one colour blush, but if you just want natural look, shading,  bronze effect, or you like to experiment with those colour, you can try this kind of blusher/bronzer.

Anyway, this one from NYX, they named it Tango with bronze powder. it comes in 5 versions, and i chose Tan enthusiasm. This is the full range of NYX tango with bronze powder

description from NYX website :

It takes two to tango but just one of our brilliant bronzing powders to kickstart your look. Our mosaic bronzer shades create a golden glow on the face and body—like you’ve just returned from a Caribbean getaway. Sun-kissed never looked this sexy or healthy. Available in five versions.

INGREDIENTS: Talc, Mica, Mineral Oil, Magnesium Stearate, Synthetic Wax, Dimethicone, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Polybutene, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate / Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride, and Tin Oxide. May Contain: Mica (CI  77019 ) , Titanium Dioxide (CI  77891 ), Iron Oxide Red (CI  77491 ) , Iron Oxide Yellow (CI  77492 ) , Iron Oxide Black (CI  77499 ), Ultramarine Pink (CI  77007 ),  D&C Red 6 Na. Salt (CI  15850 ), D&C Red 7 Ca Lake (CI  15850 ), Manganese Violet (CI  77742 ), or Ultramarine Blue (CI 77007).

so as you can see from the description above, actually it's not a blusher.it supposed to give you the sun-kissed look.

well this is what i think about this product :

 first, the packaging.
well, for me it's a little too bulky. not convinient for travelling or carry around. when i put this inside my make up pouch, it makes the pouch full. But from the look, the packaging is much better than NYX mosaic powder that it just classic bored plastic packaging.

When you open the cap, this is the inside. the bronze powder with a mirror. No seperation between the bronze powder and the mirros, so the mirror will not be clear and always covered with some of the powder.

the blusher is hidden underneath the bronze powder.

This is the brush. it's a flat brush. the brush is not superb. the hair is not too soft. just ok i think.

and this is the swatch :

with flash

without flash

it was really hard to make that swatch for those 4 colours. i have to stroke each colour many timew to get that colour on my hand. 

and i really wanted to make a swatch for all those colour combined, but seriously, i couldn't! it was just glitter all over my hand. the brush seems just couldn't take the colour from the bronze powder. i tried with other brush, my kabuki brush, and it was same. when i took a picture, there's nothing you can see.. no colour captured on the photo.

so yes, i can say, it's not pigmented at all. there is some glitter, as you can see from the picture with flash.

when applied on my cheek, i like to just blend all the colour, it will show brown colour with pink touch on my cheek, but not really show. i guess it's just for a fresh natural glow effect for my cheek.

in conclusion,

for me it's not a must product. something you don't need to have, only for alternative it you want to switch your fav blush to something else for a day or two. no, i will not repurchase this one. maybe it's simply just not what i need. NYX Mosaic powder blush is more for me. well, it depends to the person needs. if you need or want to try a bronzer, you can try this one.

Multi colour blush/bronzer/powder blush

For me, regular one colour blush on is boring. hehe, at least for now. For many years i was using shu uemura blush on. Love it! but it's expensive :(  i've tried some other blush on from oriflame, revlon, etude house, then ever since i have nyx mozaic blush, i started looking for more similar product like that. Multi colour powder blush/ blush on/bronze or whatever they named it, not just they are cute from the look, but also you can create some different tone. you can mix them all, or you can use some colours only.
anyway, this is my collection at this time;

nyx tango with bronze powder - NYX mosaic powder - innisfree herb pastel blusher

look at them! so lovely, right. sorry, i didn't get a chance to review them all yet, only nyx mosaic powder.
anyway, i'm not happy with innisfree pastel herb blusher. i wanted the orange-peach colour, and innisfree pastel herb blusher colour looks slightly different than in the picture.the real colour is softer than in the picture, and it's not really pigmented. so i'm looking for new blush like this, in pastel colour, orange and pink.
i looked on the net, o..ow.. so many choices out there! so i need your help to decide which one to buy. hehe.. or myabe iy you have one of products like this, please share!

look at all this pretty blush/bronzer i found:

Vov aura shimmer blusher

 

smashbox. but i don't think i will buy this one. it's too expensive (comparing to other blush/bronzer above). well, i put it here because i just loooove the colour.

from local brand, there is one from sari ayu, and it's cheap. i'll go check their store when i travel to jakarta.

so.. what do you think girls? which one is worth to buy? i'm looking for something looks fresh and natural, pink or orange tone with a hint of brown is ok. no shimmer or a little shimmer (not too much like disco ball). Have you tried one of them? please share and drop some comment.

i chose this one for my first review in 2012 because i feel guilty that i put this on my 2011 fav list but i didn't review yet. anyway, last year (2011 is last year!) i was looking for a natural colour blush, i got fade up with pinky-cute blush and i wanted light brown-orange colour that will look natural and fresh. and after looking for review and swatch from google, i decided to buy nyx mosaic powder blush in peachy.
this is the colour :

on the brush :

my thought :

i like the colour. it is soo natural, make my face look fresh. it is perfect for any on formal occasion. not too pigmented, which is great for me because i don't like my blush to show too much. i have no problem with this blush. no irritation or alergy.well, what else can i say about a blush? it's the colour that is most important for me.
there is no brush included so you have to use your own brush, and no mirror inside. packaging just standard, which is ok for me as long as the product is great, and it is. so this is my fav blush!
