Clarins Summer Bronzing Compact

Clarins Summer Bronzing Compact 

I have already shared the Clarins Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balms from the Clarins Splendours Summer Collection (post here), however, the real star of the collection has to be the Summer Bronzing Compact. 


I am sucker for pretty packaging and you really can't find packaging much better than this. The Aztec inspired patterns are simply stunning. The compact feels pretty sturdy and has a huge mirror making it a great choice for travel. The huge compact means you can use a big powder brush for application, which I particularly like to do with bronzers (I use the Real Techniques Powder Brush). Furthermore, with 20g of product, you definitely feel like you are getting value for money as it will last forever. 


The bronzing compact is quite pigmented so it would be easy to go over the top. The colour also lends a little bit on the warmer side. However, so long as you aren't too heavy-handed when applying the bronzer, it shouldn't be a problem. In the centre of the compact, there is a lighter, shimmery colour. The rest of the bronzer is matte, which is a plus as sometimes shimmer in bronzer can be a bit much. 

Swatched 

Overall, I am really impressed by the Clarins Summer Bronzing Compact and expect it to a firm favourite during the summer months. The Bronzing Compact is limited edition as part of the Summer collection and retails for €35 (link here and here). 

Have you tried the bronzing compact or do you have any bronzers that you would recommend? If so, I would love to hear about it in the comments below.
