i'm on makeup buying streak because i decided to throw away my expired makeup at last. yep. i kept them around since it's pandemic! i don't mind putting them on my face for a short amount of time, and so far my face is okay. but, i can feel that the texture is a bit off, so i decided to ditch them all now that the situation around the world is getting better. people is starting to go back to work, travelling and such, so makeup buying is a need. i actually wanted to buy cream bronzer, but around the time i bought this, i can't find any local brand that has decent cream bronzer (matte one, not glowy one), so i decided to buy somethinc one despite it being a powder bronzer. let's see how it goes.

| the box |
this is the description from their website: instant 3D effect, desired depth in a dab. buildable contour and bronzer with soft powder texture. get that v-shape egg face with 3D shading effect that is blendable and seamless to your skin. formulated to be high sweatproof, make it long-lasting and suitable for daily to heavy activity. resulted in ultra smooth look, minimum fall out, and long lasting pigmentation.

| infographic and shade name |
the packaging: it comes is a brown box with the picture of the bronzer at front, ingredients list at the back and how to slide open the bronzer on the side. you can read the shade name on the lower side part. the bronzer itself is quite small. the packaging is cute. it comes in plastic egg-shaped compact that you can slide the top to reveal the bronzer inside. there's no mirror, but you can read the shade name at the back. the material is a bit unusual, like there's a mix of rubber in it. however, the pan is quite small, so it's difficult to swirl my big brush on the pan. the size is just 1,5 g so i'm challenging myself to finish this one for once. it's wayyyy less than my usual powder product, but then again, i never finish any powder product, so let's hope that i can finish this one.

| the "egg" bronzer |
the color: there are 3 shades to choose from; dragon, eternal, mistress. on their website, you can see that dragon is the lightest and mistress is the darkest. yep, you might say that it won't cater all skin tone, but this is a local brand. i'm sure they've done their research to come up with 3 shades that can cater most skin tone locally. i pick dragon which is the lightest one. unfortunately, i've ditched my old bronzer from RADC travel set so i can't compare it with this one. judging from the pan, this one is a bit greyish, like a contour shade. out of memory, the RADC one leans a bit orangey, while this one doesn't.

| look how tiny the pan is! |
the result: i have to say that it works okay as bronzer but not so much as contour. it looks a bit weird when i try to use it on my nose. if i use too little, it won't show up, but if i put on a bit more, it looks weird. but maybe it's just me. i think it looks a bit orangey on me if i put on too much.
