Despite being extremely pretty and beautiful to look at in the pan, when I first received this product, I quickly dismissed it. The embossed zip is stunning and a lovely touch to KIKO's Boulevard Rock collection however, the colour just looked too dark; to the back of my collection it went. But over time, I started seeing reviews pop up and lots of other bloggers were saying how sheer and stunning it is on the skin. So out it came; and since that day, I haven't not used it in my routine.
KIKO's Rock Attraction Bronzer in Loud Tan* has been inspired by the alternative London underground music scene. The collection itself is said to encapsulate street soul with sought-after products that have a multitude of versatile textures and colours that allow you to experiment. First of all the packaging is something I can't not mention. The denim embossed box it comes in really kicks off the whole "Boulevard Rock" vibe, and the bronzer itself comes with a decent sized mirror and of course, that beautiful zip detailing.
As I mentioned earlier, this bronzer is sheer and it's very hard to overdo it. You can use this to contour as it's matte, or to add a bronze glow all over the skin as it provides a subtle radiant finish. The description of this product says the bronzer is "shimmering and vibrant," but that's something I don't agree with. It's not packed with glitter - in fact, I can't find any glitter in it at all - and that for me is perfect. This bronzer is fine, subtle and buildable. You can go as natural or as dramatic as you want, and the creamy texture blends into the skin like an absolute dream, bronzing up your complexion as you go, giving an almost airbrushed finish.
Retailing for £15.90 it's more expensive than a lot of high street bronzers, but it's completely changed the way I look and apply bronzers. For the first time in my life, contouring is easy. And that's something I never thought I'd say. You also get a whopping 12g of product which is going to last forever... or at least I hope so. I never want to run out of this. You can buy this bronzer here.
