It's my birthday month! Yipee! gives me an excuse to splurge a little bit ;-) SO! I ventured to Myer in Sydney to the Ilamasqua counter. "Makeup for your alter ego" is their tag line.
I wanted was curious about Illamasqua, so I decided to try it out. Then I found these Bronzer Duo. I wanted see how a pearly finished bronzer would look during day time. I was a bit hesitant at first because I'm not exactly a fan of shimmery bronzers.
The packaging looks quite nice, however overtime, fingerprints appear. I'm not too bothered by this though. I like the shape of it too!
When I swatched these on my hand, it is not very pigmented. I had to swipe my fingers several times to get this colour out (see picture)

Glint is a very light subtle peach highlighter, very pretty. Somehow the powder formula is very intact that it's difficult to get a lot of product on your brush. Which is ok I suppose, you don't want too much product on your face. It is buildable. Burnish is bronze with peach undertones. Both appear really lovely on my cheeks, very fine... I was quite surprised at how natural it looks on. the bronzer doesn't look shimmery at all.
I'm comparing Burnish with this MAC Mineralize powder in Medium Deep. This is what I normally use for contouring. As you can see, the shimmer is not that much in comparison to a fully Matte powder.
I'm happy with this product! will re-purchase and recommend to my friends.
