Review: Seventeen 'Instant Glow'

 Following a quick trip into town to get a few things, I decided to pop into Boots for a little mooch around. I didn't plan on buying anything there... until I came across this:  



Seventeen Instant Glow Shimmer Brick in 'Gold Bronze.'

 No.7 'Directional Powder Brush'

 (sorry for the rubbishy swatches, the lighting suddenly went dark.)

 

For the price of only roughly £4.50, I couldn't resist and had to buy it- and I was definitely not disappointed! With the four different shimmer shades, this bronzer-with-a-twist, has multi purposes.

 I love to use the lightest shade to highlight my cheekbones and brow bone etc. to give a wide awake look and draw attention to the cheekbones. You can also combine all of the shades together to create a lovely, golden brown, bronzed look. The colours are so easy to use and blend and give you a natural glow, without looking too obvious - you can even double up the shades to create an eye shadow look, too! 

However, if you are not exactly a fan of shimmer, I would avoid this product as it can look quite sparkly and, if too much is applied, can look unnatural. Despite, the great pigmentation, the staying power of this powder isn't the best but, if you don't mind reapplying throughout the day, then this product is perfect for you. I recommend dusting it on with the No.7 'Directional Powder Brush' because it is suuupeer soft and amazing for blending and applying- but you can use whatever brush you like. If you ever get the chance to buy this, I definitely recommend that you do! A-maz-ing. :)
