Prestige Skin Loving Minerals Sunbaked Mineral Bronzing Powder 03 Pure Shimmer


I saw this in Boots and thought it looked a bit like a MSF, I've never tried one and have been craving shimmer on my cheeks recently so thought I'd give it a go.  It's normally £9.49 but had £3 off the other day so it was cheap and cheerful instant gratification.  It comes in 3 shades but I chose the lightest, a slightly peachy flesh tone with pale yellow marbling, I wasn't so keen on the yellow though so I chose one with the least marbling - I kind of regret that now as when it's all blended it's really pretty!


It's got quite a nice list of ingredients, nice to see shea butter 3rd on the list, but I do spot carmine in there too so not vegan friendly.


This is the same swatch in different lighting.
Left to right: blended, yellow marbling, main base colour.

Look how pretty it is blended!  I'm such a tool for not getting one with heavier marbling.

Here it is all blended together and applied heavily with a big brush.  It gives a really nice finish that can be either subtle or really ott.  It's also got great adhesion, which was important to me after struggling to get Elf's Gotta Glow to stick to my face.

Have you tried Prestige before?  What to you think of these shimmery powders?  I'm lusting after Rich Bronze, one of the other shades.  I'd never tried Prestige but I also picked up an eyeliner which I rather like.

Apologies for yesterdays lack of posting, my friend woke me up and decided to spend the day with me.  I'm rushing out to see everyone today- late as usual!  This week is really busy but I'm going to try to keep up and hopefully will get Cheap Thrills Thursday out tomorrow. X

  1. Is this oil free? Thanks for the review! Interested in getting it but kind of worried it might not work bc of my oily skin.
