Maybelline is one of the least expensive drugstore brands and used to be one of my favourite ones in my teenage years. This summer I got two of their bronzers and was eager to see if for the little money that I paid they were worth purchasing. My previous post was on one of them. This time it's the Maybelline Dream Sun Bronzing Powder in Blonde that we put in the limelight.


Its scent seems quite similar to the Nivea cream, which I find quite strangely satisfying. It has a very smooth and hard surface, too smooth in my opinion. Touching it reminds me of one of the plastic make up kits that I has for my dolls when I was a kid. When swatched with a finger it barely leaves any traces of powder. But it also means that you have to build up the coverage and there is a lesser chance of making a mistake. It is definitely quite light with an orange undertone and would be best for those with a lighter complexion - but not pink! Like most powder products it lasts only a few hours, but considering how inexpensive it is it is still value for money.



It is a very average product but a safe choice if you do not usually wear bronzers. It would be best on a lighter skin as it will not show on a tanned or olive face.



I would not be repurchasing this product as I like my powders softer and with more colour, but it is still a nice product for those who want to stay on the safe side.
