Where I got it: I got this from NZsale for $9.90. I don’t see this product available in New Zealand so I’m not too sure where you can get it.
What I got: This is the Boujois Sun Illusion Bronzing Primer in 71 Fair. Also comes in shade 72 dark. With a feather-light texture, Sun Illusion melts effortlessly into your skin to give you a bronzed look that’s perfect for summer. Apply over your foundation, or wear it alone for a naturally sun-kissed appearance.

How I find it: Initially when I ordered this, I haven’t looked through any online reviews or video reviews so I was under the impression that this is similar to that Chanel cream bronzer. With the fraction of the price, I just grabbed it. When I opened the packaging, the shade of this primer is much darker than I thought and instantly I thought “uh-oh, this is gonna make me look so dark and Oompah-Loompa-like”. Then I finger-swatched it on the back of my hand and it felt different to what I expected. It was a mousse-like texture, much like a mousse foundation.

Overall: Really interesting product, I would say this is my first ever bronzing primer because I am not big on bronzing or tanning my skin (typical Asian), I prefer brightening and whitening. Anyway, this primer gives my skin a more even look in terms of my skin tone and blurs my pores. I was a little worried that the silicone ingredient would not work so well with my foundation and pill up on me but that did not happen at all, but I did use a beauty sponge to apply foundation so there was minimal tugging and rubbing that could potentially cause pilling.
