I was basically looking for a bronzer fairly cheaply as I had run out and was in town, so popped into Farmers and the lady at the counter suggested the Essence as it is made in NZ and looks good and well priced.
The packaging was fairly typical of a bronzer in cake style, plastic see through container where you pop the lid to use. The colour was nice (I think from memory a couple of shades to choose from) - I prefer a mid range colour, more a medium bronze and this was about right.
I put it on with a largish brush to give good coverage - it was a good consistency, I brushed the brush over and I always give it a little tap or blow on it to remove excess. It brushed on well and didn't tend to leave streaks.
For the price it's a really good bronzer and I would purchase it again as I liked it, it worked well and the colour was nice.
This is one of my favourite summer bronzers ever, it's a nice warm shade without being too orange, it's light enough for people with fair skin but it's pigmented enough to show up on darker skin tones. It's super blendable and it has the most amazing scent. It smells like the beach, like coconut and pineapple and sunblock and I love it. The pan is huge which means it's going to last ages and you can also use it as an all over body bronzer. The only downsides are the packaging being quite cheap, but that's minor and something I can look past. And also the fact that it's quite powdery, but again, it's something I can look past
