    I totally give this an A ! I picked this up in Waikiki Strip/Peachy Glow Bronzer since I have a warm skin tone, especially in the summer. I tried it once I got home and really liked the results. I like that you can choose how "pink" or how "brown" you want to be and either way it goes on very natural! It gives that dewy/shimmer look that is in right now and I love it. I also love that all shades can be used as eyeshadow as well! Light shades are great for day, darker for evening. Will definitely by again!

    I wanted to try something new so I picked this up in "Miami Strip / Healthy Glow Bronzer'. I definately like the colours and how it looks on me and it's great because I can use it in multiple ways and combinations but i find for me that it is a tad too shimmery for everyday/day use so I won't get as much wear out of it as I want to so not sure I would purchase it again for the price paid but I will continue to wear it when it fits and would recommend it to someone looking for a decent shimmer.

    I have been using the Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips in "Vegas Strip" for quite some time now and it has become one of my favourite, versatile makeup product. It can be customized to be used as a bronzer, a blush (depending on the shade you choose), eyeshadows and highlight (even though it is not mentioned on the packaging. Each of the Shimmer Strips come with 5 gradient strips of color ranging from dark to light bronze/golden. I found the "Vegas Strip" to be best suited for very fair skin as it is the lightest of the shades. Their are 6 shades to choose from, depending on your skin tone and the effect you want to achieve. The colors are firmly packed, but very soft to work with. You will not get a messy fallout with this product.

    As a bronzer, this left my face with a subtle glow, but not too dark to be considered a tan. Therefore, if you want a suntanned effect, I would go with one of the darker shades. The color is buildable, as you can swipe it across the darkest shade and use it for contouring as well. I didn't really use this as a blush, since the shade I chose was more golden than pink. However, It made for a wonderful cheekbone highlighter, especially when I used the lightest golden shade. This does leave a shimmer effect, but it doesn't cry out kiddie makeup. It blends in very nicely and leaves you looking luminous.

    I've also used it as eyeshadows and I must say, the strips are pigmented enough to actually show up on the eyelid. It looks gorgeous during the summer, especially when you want a golden, bronzy look. You have all the shades you need in one convenient palette. The colors last practically the whole day and do not crease in the lid.

    I give this an A for versatility and quality. If I could rate it higher than 5 stars I would! The product is made in Italy, and like most Italian products I've tried, it surpasses my expectations.

    I definitely like the bronzing beads for their effectiveness. It gives a great, EVEN colour and gives that great sun kissed look or if you put on more a dark tanned look. Here's my complaint though..I recently switched from beads because of the spilling factor. I was always dropping a bead or two on the floor and they'd often get crushed into my bedroom or bathroom carpet! A few times I've actually dropped the whole thing on the floor and the beads fall all over and I end up on my hands and knees picking them up! I'm always in a rush getting ready for work and I think that's part of the problem..I need something quick and spill proof for my hectic life on the go!
    I travel a lot and the beads just weren't convenient for me as a pressed bronzer powder which is more compact and no beads for me to lose!

    Can't afford time away for that trip to the beach? Create it in seconds with the muti-colored bronzer by Physicians Formula. Swirl your brush around the little pearls and sweep it across your cheeks, nose and forehead. Any where the sun would kiss you gently. It is such a natural glow no one will guess you haven't been away except your bank account!
