Battle of the Bronzers



I completed my collection of
L'Oreal HiP Vibrant Shimmer Bronzing Powders.
I wanted to compare them against
my Giovi U.S.A. Magic Finish Cooked Powder #3,
MAC Mineralized Skin Finish in So Ceylon,
as well as e.l.f. Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in SUNKISSED.
I came to a startling conclusion! The e.l.f SUNKISSED & the MAC So Ceylon MSF are almost exactly the same!

e.l.f. SUNKISSED
MAC MSF So Ceylon


the MSF is a lil' rosy vs. the gold tone of the sunkissed, but they are almost a match!


I'm awaiting a shipment from e.l.f. in which are two more bronzer/highlighters. I'll update you when they arrive.

By far, my favorite of all is the Giovi Magic Finish Cooked Powder #3.
I'd love to order more, but they are out of stock! Bummer!
