17 Instant Glow 'Pink Bronze' Shimmer Brick

Hey guys,

Today I'm going to be doing a quick review od the 17's 'INSTANT GLOW Pink Bronze Shimmer Brick'. The product contains four stripes of shimmery powder and is £4.99 for 5.7g. Pink Bronze reminds me of Bobbi Brown Pink Quartz Shimmer Brick. The Bobbi Brown products contain 5 stripes of colour and cost £30.50 for 10.3g of product. The finish of these 17 Bricks reminds me of MAC Mineralize Skinfinishes; they have the same kind of shimmers and pigmentation.

Now these do say that they wash off, and they do easily rinse off with warm water, but I didn't notice them disappearing when I got caught in the rain. That is definitely something to bear in mind especially given the temperamental nature of the British weather!

What I really love about this product is that it acts as a bronzer, a blush and a highlighter all at once. It gives your face such warmth (well it does for my pale complexion!) On darker skin, this would probably only work as a highlighter, but a gorgeous one at that :)

So whats the verdict?

MY RATING: 4/5 

I love this on my skin, but let's face it I am really, really pale! It works as 3 products for me (a bronzer, a blush and a highlighter), but for anyone any darker than me, it will be less versatile.
