Unfortunately, I have to return this. This may be good for contouring but then it is too patchy. The shade is nice but it doesn't blend well. I tried different brushes and it was no use. Sorry, not recommended!

I got this on clearance at Urban Outfitters last summer. Paid $5 for it. Major Steal!! Used it initially as an all-over bronzer but now use it mostly for contouring. I would compare this to Benefit's Hoola as far as color and finish-it's a medium brown-based matte bronzer (once you get past the surface colors) except you get waaay more product and thus, it's much cheaper. The packaging is about the size of a cd/dvd! It's not the most luxurious powder I've ever used, but it's still very good quality, especially given how much I paid for it.

I just received my bronzer in the mail today. I order all my NYX cosmetics from eBay since I can't buy them locally. Oh my gosh, this bronzer is HUGE! I was expecting a small compact and I was very surprised, in a good way :) It is the size of a tea saucer plate. I think this will last me a long time! I tried it today and it looked amazing. I have light skin with pink undertones and this didn't look orange or dirty at all. The only thing I don't care for is the smell but I don't notice it when it is on my face. Overall, it was a great purchase and I will buy it again... if I ever run out.

This was the very first bronzer I ever purchased and it has not dissapointed me! It's very natural with a slight shimmer in the pan that transforms into a bronzey glow when applied to the face. It applies very evenly and easily and can be built up to acheive the look you want. It's huge and even at $15 it will last you an extremely long time, I've had mine for over 9 months and have barely stratched the surface! It's very natural which I like because I can use it all year round.

I was hooked on the same NARS Laguna Bronzer compact for 2 years. I knew I had to replace it at some point because makeup has a shelf life, but I couldn't bear the idea of spending so much money on anything that I consider a luxury item, such as this. Finally, I accidently dropped my bronzer and it broke into pieces, and so I started doing research for a cheaper replacement. Thanks to MUA I found myself ordering this bronzer as a dupe for NARS Laguna and I must say that I'm surprised! While the powder isn't as finely milled as the NARS, the color is amazingly similar and shows up just as nicely as on my NC35 skin. I do agree with other reviewers on taking care during application. The powder does go all everywhere a bit. I did find the packaging quite large (it is about 4 inches diameter) and fragile (the clear plastic folding lid doesn't seem too sturdy). However, for the price and the amazing similarity to NARS, I'm more than willing to overlook these issues. All in all, this is a great dupe for all you budget makeup addicts to consider!
