Save or spree: bronzers

In many places all over the world, winter means a covering of perfect white snow. While we may escape the snowfall in Sydney, our skin tends to become just as pale and icy looking. And judging by the Casper-white complexions I’ve seen around town lately, we could all do with a tad more bronzing…
A little bit of bronze is all you need to perk you up and swiftly take you from dull and dreary to fresh and fabulous. No matter your budget, we’ve chosen the crème de la crème of a variety of bronzers to ensure you look perfect, not pasty this winter.

Bronzing compacts
Save: Ulta3 The Big Bronzer
It doesn’t get much bigger than this. This larger-than-the-palm-of-your-hand sized bronzer is infused with pearl pigments for luminous shine, and formulated with warm tones that gradually build colour on the skin. It’s the perfect pressed powder for long wear, with a satin matte finish and will last donkey’s years.
Spree: Bobbi Brown Beige Shimmer Brick Compact
If you like to chop and change the intensity of your golden glow, you can’t go past a multi-coloured shimmer brick. For a darker bronze hue, keep your brush hovering over the deeper toned colour strips more than the lighter highlighting hues. This Bobbi Brown brick is also big on the illuminating scale, so perfect to uplift any dreary winter complexions.

Bobbi Brown never fails to impress, but for little money who could go past the Ulta3.

I don't think I could pay$85 for the shimmer brick but I'll try the Ulta3 one! Too me though they're completely different products though.

I would so love to try out Bobbi Brown, but with a high price tag I think I will stick with something a little cheaper. :)

I love multi-colour bronzers, you can fully control how bronze or golden you are by choosing to layer or blend different shade mixes

I so want a BB shimmer brick, sigh....., but the Ulta3 sounds good too as I like a buildable colour that isn't shiny and glittery for my combo skin.

Ahh Bobbi Brown, always so wonderful. The ulta3 one looks good too because it doesn't have shimmer which is good when I just want some colour and contour in my cheeks.

I'd love to try Bobbi Brown makeup, heard lots of good stuff about it! But maybe when it's on sale...$85 for this shimmer brick is too steep for me.

Ulta3 is fantastic and will last all year long. I also love Bobbi Brown and think it's worth spending my hard earned pennies on!!

I have wanted the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick for ages, but I've gotta say, the ulta3 looks pretty good.

Chrissynick, i feel your pain. Those shimmer bricks are the one thing I have stood in front of when I get to the city in DJ's and stared at like a kid in a candy shop! Oh, one day, at least thats what i've been telling myself for about a year now, lol.
Ulta3 is the 1 brand eluding me atm, i can't find it anywhere in pharmacies, or stores near me... starting to get frustrating!

I prefer the Bobbi Brown one at $85 but I think the Ulta3 at $9.95 would still do the trick.
