Hey Ladies! I know you will have probably already seen a million reviews of the infamous NARS Laguna bronzer but I wanted to share my thoughts on it anyway. As you may of noticed, I have featured this in every favourites or FOTD I have posted on my blog. I would even go as far as saying this is my favourite high-end beauty product. I use this every single time I apply my makeup and it the best bronzer I have ever used. It is the 'best' in my opinion for a few reasons. Firstly, I love the packaging of NARS products and feel so glam when pulling this out of my makeup bag. There is something so sleek and elegant about it and if I could afford everything from NARS, trust me, I'd have the lot. Secondly, I love the colour. You may be thinking, 'it's just a bronzer' but in my opinion you can go so wrong with a bronzer. Lets face it, nobody likes the oompah loompah look that some bronzers provide but luckily, Laguna does the opposite. Rather than providing an orange look, this bronzer creates a lovely bronzed glow. It has an almost matte finish making it perfect for contouring but it does contain very finely milled shimmer meaning it creates a glowy effect. If you are looking for a matte bronzer but are worried about it being too flat, this bronzer is perfect as it has the perfect balance between matte and shimmer. Nobody wants to look like a disco ball right?
As well as the actual product itself, I love how long this stuff lasts. When I have bought drugstore bronzers in the past they have only lasted me around a month. This bronzer typically lasts me 3-4 months and I have repurchased this 3 times so far. The only bad thing about this product of course is the price. Nobody wants to splash out £24.00 on a bronzer but trust me, it is worth it. This provides my face with exactly what it needs in a morning. It warms up my skin tone, gives me a subtle glow and defines my cheekbones. It really is one of my must-have products. Also, I can almost justify the price when I think about how long this lasts me. I think 3 months with everyday use is pretty good going. If you don't wear makeup everyday, of course it will last even longer. I've not been wearing makeup every day while I've been in Oz so I haven't even started to hit pan on this and I bought it 6 weeks ago. If you want to buy this wonderful product it is available on the NARS website, ASOS or Space NK.
I really want to try this, its been on my wishlist for far too long! xxx

I haven't tried it but I've heard so many good things about it! I might now treat myself as we're coming in to the summer! My favourite bronzer at the moment is the Soleil Tan de Chanel x

I just bought this last week and I've used it once. I'm not yet blown away but I think that's because I'm used to darker shades xo
ReplyDeleteI love Laguna, mine is almost finished.

ReplyDeleteI always see this and think "I have to try that", think the price puts me off - but I may give it a go! Especially for summer..
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I haven't tried anything from the NARS line yet, but I really want to try their blushes. x

I love this bronzer!! It's seriously the best! It never turns me orange, always gives me that perfect bronze glow and works with me throughout the year, at my lightest and even at my darkest! Lovely post! xo, Megs

I love NARS! lovely blog :)
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! I just got the Nars orgasm and it's amazing so this may have to be next. I use Benefit Hoola but if you apply just a tad too much it gets that 'muddy' look, which you say Laguna doesn't, hurrah! Thanks for this post, I wanted to hear why you love it so much :)

I absolutely love this bronzer, it's also one of my favorite makeup products! NARS in general is an amazing brand.
ReplyDeleteGreat review girly! I agree, that is the perfect bronzer and even though it is expensive, it lasts forever so is totally worth it in the end :)
ReplyDeleteI hear so much about it but I'm really worried about it making me orange, it must be tried though or a true blogger I am not! Laura x

been unsure about whether to buy this or not, think this has just convinced me:-) any good brushes to go with it?x
ReplyDeleteIve heard so many good things about this but I have so many bronzers and the price turns me off,but I think I need to just take the plunge and get it.
ReplyDeleteThat bronzer seems gorgeous. I love Nars orgasm blush, I might just need to try their bronzer now. You have such a cute blog =)

i have a laguna bronzer/blush duo and i havent tried it yet...not sure why. you have inspired me to try i tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh pricey, but a bronzer is one thing i'd probably splash out on because they're sooo hard to get right on the high street! either make you look like a disco ball or they do nothing at all!
