Glow Bronzer by Avon

With all things New Year's related, supporting local business is on my hot list of must dos.  Not just supporting local business, but supporting my community... which equates to shopping Avon.

I've bought and sold Avon time and again over the years, and what always brings me back is the colours and 'my rep'.  For black women, Avon offers such a huge colour board of make up.  The only challenge I have is there isn't really a sample swatch and you kind of have to go through the up and down cycles of shop and return until your perfect shade of medium/tawny/honey ;)

As I'm now in the buying phase of my relationship with Avon, I'm totally loving my newest buy 

From the box:  Get golden with an instant glow.  Our bronzer brightens with warmth of a natural tan.  This silky, luminous formula blends easily for an even radiant complexion all year round.  Streak-free, stain free. Provides a glow for every skin tone.

Two challenges:

1.  Kinda feel like the "Glow" thing is misleading.  It leaves a very matte colour (hence my winter thumbs up).  I don't necessarily need a glow or glimmer in the dead of winter, but I would prefer it.  It's a bit of a double edged sword right?  Didn't really get what I want... but I get to shop for more makeup.

2.  Although it comes with a brush (well the package I bought came with a brush)... this is not the brush for me.  It's definitely soft and sturdy, which I love, and to be honest the 'bronze' and casting of it looks and feels kinda sexy.  However, it just doesn't cut it for an all over bronzer coverage.  If you're looking to spot bronze, this will work great.  But I like an all over bronze, so I had to revert back to my short and fat mineral brush.


Lovely indeed, and subtle enough to get away with that "makeup without wearing makeup look", a very natural choice for this time of year. Retails at $15.99.
