Soap & Glory Solar Powder

Soap & Glory Solar Powder Boots £11

Soap & Glory are a brand I've seen crop up more and more lately with bloggers and after falling in love with their Thick & Fast mascara; I decided to pick up a few things whilst Boots were offering 3 for 2 on all cosmetics. On the hunt for a new bronzer as mine had ran out, I decided to pick up the Solar Powder on a whim. I generally go for matte bronzers as I use them to contour and lightly add some colour to my face.

The packaging is super quirky as always. It comes in a cardboard compact with a mirror which is perfect to keep in your bag for touching up your face throughout the day. The compact has 2 different colours - a cool toned brown for bronzing and contouring and a light slightly shimmery brown for highlighting. Personally the highlighter is far too dark for me to use as a highlight so I swirl my brush to use a mix of the two for general bronzing instead.

All the bronzers I've tried previously have been been orange and dark on me and noticeable if I try to contour with them. I was pleasantly surprised. This is the perfect bronzer for you paler gals, it isn't too highly pigmented and blends perfectly into paler complexions so you don't have obvious lines across your face. Although you can also build it up should you want a stronger colour pay off. The texture it quite silky and I don't tend to get much fall out which is great (who hates wasting product this way?) It stays put fairly well and I probably only need to touch this up if I need to touch up my powder too. I really do love this bronzer but it is a little more on the natural side for giving the face a touch of colour and a slight glow.
