In It to Win It
ColourPop In It to Win It Pressed Powder Bronzer ($8.00 for 0.23 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark brown with warm, yellow undertones and a barely-there golden sheen. It had good pigmentation, but the texture was drier and wasn’t as finely-milled as I would have expected. I felt like it took a bit longer to diffuse and blend out the bronzer evenly on my skin. Once on, the result was nice–natural but not overtly shimmery–with noticeable warmth. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading.

ColourPop's Pressed Powder Bronzer is supposed to have a "super velvety-soft" feel that yields a "natural tanned glow." There was no mention of coverage, but the brand's promotional swatches showed full coverage. The bronzers had a soft, silky texture that was slightly powdery in the pan but tended to apply with ease, blended out nicely, and sat well on the skin. The majority of the shades seemed to have a semi-matte to satin finish, which helped them glide on and appear more natural (in finish) on the skin. The wear ranged from eight to eight and a half hours on me.

Too bad the application doesn’t blend out like butter, because I really love this shade! I may still get it if it’s still available come springtime. Although, I’ve got the feeling that this winter will feel pretty springy, so…. perhaps sooner, LoL.
