OK so I wanted this for ages and read review after review about how wonderful this stuff was.
So I got it and it's really not lived up to its expectations.
My normal make-up routine normally involves Day Oil, once that has dried a bit of concealer here and there, blush/bronzer and a little eye liner. I only put on powder if I'm going out out!
So I did as it said and put it on just after the normalising day oil.
As the day went on I just looked like I was wearing one of those really cheap foundations and my skin was an oil slick, PLUSS I BROKE OUT!!!!
So a few days later tried putting the bronze concentrate on after the day oil had sunk into my skin....same result.
Then tried mixing in palm of hand and again the same.
I know everyone calls MAC but after trying this and Bare Escentuals it has just made me even more loyal to MAC, nothing gives me a better finish!!!
Am just a little p******* off that I went and spent my money on these. Same goes for the Jane Iredale 24 Carrat Gold Mine, it was £26 on this site and really my MAC bronzer with shimmer looks better than this and then the hairs started to fall out of the brush 
I really wish I could go back and have gone on a MAC spending spree instead. |

Aww, poor rosebud ***lots of sympathy for you.
Just a thought, you are mixing the bronzer with moisturiser before putting it on though right? |

Yes I think maybe it's just not for me.
Oh Izecka have been going on make-up alley and I'm too impatient 
I know I only have about 4 items  but I'm one of those people who spring clean about once a week and hate clutter!!!
Have also found that I see something I really want and then the other swapper is not interested in my stuff and vice verca.
How do these people with huge lists store their stuff - some of them must need a whole wardrobe!!!
Oh to top it off with the bronzer, m-i-l came round and said heres a little gift......Dr H Bronzer!!!!!
So I have 2!!!
My sister has her eye on it so I guess it's her's oh well have to laugh - more to life than cosmetics. And when I think about it you never know when I'm all tanned after the summer it may look ok.... m |

(laughing WITH you my dear)
Oh, what can I say? Could be worse.. Umm not sure exactly *how* right now, but just know that it could be worse.
I'm pissed at the moment cos I am never satisfied. As soon as I get around to making my mind up and finally ordering something, SOMETHING ELSE will miraculously become a must have Ugh.  Honestly we're a right bunch eh? Chin up m'dear  |

I hate that when you think of something else you should have ordered. I research everything to death |

Yes 
Click on "Profile" in the top right of the page, scroll down and "Hide your online status" is one of the options near the bottom of the page.
I actually spent so much time on here that they banned this site at work. I was mortified. So now I kinda think if I'm hidden, it's kinda like I'm not really on here all that much and I don't have a serious problem  |

Just a little update on the bronzer - I recently got this out again and thought seeing as though I've got so much of the stuff, I may as well give it another go.
My skin is really quite clear at the moment with some blemishes and scaring. I am finding that I like to wear less and less make-up, so I tried this out on my no make-up days and have found that it does even out the skin tone and seems to give almost a luminous shine to the skin but at the same time I don't look oily shiney. I just look more like I have a healthy glow.
I haven't had any more outbreaks after the first time I used this which is very good - I'm thinking now maybe it was my hormones
So yes now that I have gotten used to the bronzer I really like it |

| I love the stuff. I usually mix it with a bit of moisturizer, but it has largely replaced foundation, especially in the summer. |

| I really like the Bronze Concentrate. It did take some experimentation though. How it looks on my skin really depends on what moisturizer it's mixed with. I found it was way too shiny with the Rose Day Cream but with the Alba Botanica Jasmine & Vitamin E Moisture Cream it is just right. I have other moisturizers to try it with but I may stick with the Alba for a while. |
