Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Glow-Boosting Airbrushing Bronze Veil Deluxe Edition Swatches

Um, so does this bronzer have the longest name or what?  Geez.  C'mon Physicians Formula.  Time to simplify.  In any case, this bronzer is beautiful in the pan, and it looks kind of high-end to me.

Here's what Physicians Formula claims:

A Bronzer with Benefits!

Revolutionary Italian technology combines the best features of powder, baked and cream bronzers for the most stunning bronze glow. Delivers a skin-perfecting finish unlike any other bronzer, we had to call it "Deluxe"!

Luxurious, light bronze veil melts into skin providing an airbrushed lit-from-within glow that looks so natural it is virtually undetectable on the skin.

I'm not sure why they think it has a "finish unlike any other bronzer," but whatever.  Claims for products always have a certain amount of mumbo jumbo, right?

It has very pretty packaging, for sure.

So, this bronzer does have an overspray, but it has quite a bit of shimmer even once the overspray is gone.  Here's what it looks like after a bunch of uses:

You can see this bronzer is pretty darn shimmery, so I think it works better as a highlighter.  I do like the shimmery "glow" it gives me, but I like shimmery highlighters.  If you don't like shimmer, I don't think this is for you.

The texture of the powder is lovely.  It's very smooth and soft.  It doesn't have any scent, unlike the Argan Oil blushes and bronzer.  

The bad?  It's kind of orange-y, so I'm not fond of how it looks when I wear it as a bronzer (where the sun naturally hits the face). 

Like, I said, I like this as a warm-toned highlighter, and I think it looks best when I have a bit of a fake tan. 

I bought this for $14.99 USD, but it had a $10 rebate offer attached to the box, so it was only $4.99.  Pretty good price!
