Collection is probably one of the cheapest brands at least here in the UK, if it is even sold anywhere else. I got this bronzer for free when buying some other stuff and wanted to see if it is comparable to other drugstore, yet slightly more expensive brands.



The bronzer is one of the mosaic bronzers where you have loads of different colour on one palette and you combine them with one swoop of a brush. The mosaic bronzers are not as popular as they once were and this one is the only this kind of product I got this summer.



It is quite shiny (or glowy if you prefer) comparing to most products out there. If it wasn't so dark it could easily be a highlighter. It is very subtle when applied with a soft brush but it's easy to build up.

On the skin it seems almost metallic, it is so glowy. Depending at what angle you are looking at it it will change its shade slightly.



As many other shine inducing powders this one has a one major downside.  If you have fine lines (and who above the age of 18 doesn't!) or large pores, or any even slight scars on the face it will make these more prominent and therefore more visible.



When most bronzers nowadays are quite orange, even the good ones, this one is in a slightly more natural burnt beige 'dirty' colour, kind of like the natural tan. Because of its shiny light reflecting properties I would not is it on my forehead though, unlike all other bronzers I have been using lately.


If you have a face like baby's ass then go for it - it is after all a very inexpensive product, simple to use and if you do not mind the metallic shine it might just be the right product for you.

Although I would not repurchase this product it is worth having in my opinion. It reminds me of all of the 'old-school' bronzers that I used when in high-school, something that is now very hard to come by (mainly because it is just not considered a very good bronzer anymore), and merely for sentimental reasons.
