Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder | Review

I don't really use bronzers that much, I'm so pale that it's hard to find one that wouldn't make me look like an Oompa Loompa. But (there is always a but,) a while ago I got a couple of Bourjois bronzing powders just because I loved the way they swatched on my hand when I was browsing makeup in Boots (and they were on offer, who doesn't like offers). The one I'm reviewing in this post is Delice de Poudre in 51, it comes in a lovely chocolatey-looking box and when you open it, it looks and smells like chocolate. Lovely. The powder doesn't have that orange effect that I'm not really a fan of, it also has a bit of sparkle to it when in the box, but it doesn't translate on my face. It's slightly glowy but not in a bad way. The powder is buildable and also great for contouring. Personally, I only need a touch of 51 but there is also a darker shade - 52, if you are not as pale as me or if you get a tan over summer etc. I unfortunately cannot get a tan, my skin goes tomato red straight away. Anywho, I would definitely recommend this powder and I will probably re-purchase if I don't find anything better. Its got a good price tag too.
What's your favourite bronzer? Have you tried Bourjois ones?

Bourjois Delice de Soleil Bronzing Powder

After falling head over heels with Bourjois blusher the brand got me again with their powders. I got a couple, but decided to review Delice de Soleil first. It was quite hard to find a bronzing powder that would suit my pale face, so I'm so glad I picked it up. I wasn't sure about the packaging at first, but it's quite cool actually. It's a nice brown case with a rotating mirror. The bronzer is a lovely, natural looking shade and contains just the right amount of pigmentation which allows to build up the colour, plus it's easily blendable. I got the one for fair/medium skin so if this is not enough, there's the one for dark/tanned skin to check out (it's more intense). It smells quite nice too, didn't have any chocolate scented makeup before. Bourjois also added a tiny brush with it, but I can't say anything about it really since I've not used it once (prefer my Real Techniques brush). Overall, I'm happy with this product and would probably re-purchase once it's finished.
