I love this bronzer. I feel like now I could just post a few pictures of it and the review would be complete! Alas, I think I ought to share a
few more details as to why Too Faced's Chocolate Soleil Bronzer in Chocolate (Medium/Deep), $30.00 for .35 oz, has been elevated to my All-Time Fave list!
First off, the new packaging is lovely, gilded magic. It reminds me of something Belle from Disney's Beauty & the Beast would have on her vanity table for special occasions! It's a good size, too; not quite the diameter of a sandwich plate, but definitely large enough to accommodate your biggest, fluffiest brush.

Secondly, it smells like
CHOCOLATE! This vegan-friendly, paraben free bronzer is infused with antioxidant-rich cocoa powder and it smells AMERZING!! I wish we had Smell-O-Vision or Google Nose so y'all could smell this right now! Check it out the next time you're in Sephora. The smell dissipates quickly once the bronzer is applied, but it's just an added bit o' fun, especially for chocolate lovers!

Last but most importantly, the color is spectacular chocolatey goodness without even a smidgeon of shimmer. You might be thinking the color would be too deep for someone as fair as myself, but I love it. I prefer deeper bronzers and I just use a lighter hand to apply them. Lighter bronzers look a little ashy on me and I have to use more to get them to show up. In the heat of southern summers, the last thing I want is to use more of
any product on my face; it only increases the risk of my face sip-sliding off in the humidity!
Believe it or not, I used to be a lot darker because I was outside constantly. Too Faced Chocolate Soleil in Medium/Deep is a perfectly matte bronzer that gives me the exact sunny look that I used to have at the end of every summer.

These old summer trip photos are especially relevant because this week, my fiance Jason and I will be maxin' n' relaxin' in Miramar Beach, FL for my birthday! I have been looking forward to this trip for several months and can't believe it's finally here! I also can't believe I'm turning 33! I still think 1990 was ten years ago. Where has the time gone?! Anywho, I'll be quiet on the blog but will be Instagramming like a mofo.
I just can't quit you, Instagram! Follow me
@glambunctious!
I hope you beautiful people have a wonderful week. What's your favorite bronzer of all-time?
Much love!
WOOHOO vacay!! Have an awesome time and eat lots and drink lots! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE those pics of you all bronzed goddessy there! I used to tan too, but now I have pigmentation because of it and unless I wear sunscreen it comes back in like 10 minutes.
This bronzer looks really good on you! You look gorgeous and it does look natural on you! I love bronzers so much, and was looking at the poreless one from them. Even with the tons I have, that one intrigues me!
Hey Kristen, I like how natural this bronzer looks on you! It's not muddy at all!
ReplyDeleteI am not big on bronzer yet, but I did recently get into it with the bronzer half of Dior Coral Glow. Now I reach for it almost every time I do my makeup! Perhaps one day I'll turn into a bronzer fiend as well!
Looks very natural! You look like a naturally bronzed beauty.
ReplyDeleteP.S.: What a ginormous cocktail are you sipping there in 2008, girl! :-)
Thanks, Melissa! :) That was a margarita. The scary thing? That wasn't even the largest size they had?!?!?!? CRAZY!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jasmine! I'm having so much fun; I love vacations! :D And yes, even though your Sephora staffers aren't the nicest (boooo!) you should still sniff this bronzer - it's that good, lol! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sunny! That Coral Glow was beautiful and could turn anyone into a bronzer-loving queen! Someday, you too might have a bronzer collection, lol! :D
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you so much, Tracy!! The trip has been wonderful so far! Any time swimming in the ocean is involved, it's a really good day! I used to tan all the time - even in tanning beds - I knnow! So bad! I have some hyperpigmentation from it as well. If I get sun on my face, I get what I call a sunstache, lol! Gotta sunscreen it up or else I look like Patches McGhee!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous! :D This is one of my favorite bronzers!
ReplyDeletelate to comment on this but I have decided I need this bronzer. now. xo
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yes! It is so good. I really don't want to finish it, actually! That's a good sign!
