It took me 4 weeks in a row of nipping into 3 different Boots stores till I finally struck lucky and got my hands on the Soap & Glory Solar Powder. I'd almost given up hope, it was even out of stock online and I never thought this bronzer would be mine. Finally one day I went into boots and there it was, there was loads of them and I pretty much ran up to the stand to grab one, finally it could be added into my collection! I've been dying to use this for so long, everyone had raved about it and I just had to know, is it worth the hype?
First thing is i'm obsessed, my Nars Laguna bronzer has been dropped from my everyday make up selection and replaced with this (sorry Nars, I still like you too) This bronzer features two shades a darker and a lighter. These can be used separate or swirled together with your brush to add a pop of colour and some dimension back into your face after applying your foundation. My current preference is to swirl them together and still use my filmstar bronze and glow for the contour but that doesn't mean the solar powder can't do that job either. The lighter shade in the compact has much more of a shimmer too it for my liking so i'd dismiss that for a contour myself, however the darker shade i'm feeling. It still has a slight shimmer but nothing like the lighter shade has got too it and is perfect for creating the chiseled look. Or for those of you like me which just want to stop their head looking so round, it does that job too. So the product itself is good but what about the packaging? Soap & Glory have a really unique and feminine style, which I really like however, the cardboard compact isn't my thing. I much prefer something more sturdy feeling. Having said that I do like that 1. there is a mirror and 2. it has a little magnet to help keep it shut. In all honesty though, a product this good the packaging doesn't really fuss me so much.
The Soap & Glory Solar powder can be bought in store or online at Boots for £11
