Review: theBalm Bahama Mama

March 1, 2012

I'm not sure why I waited this long to show you guys one of my favorite bronzers!! This bronzer is a gorgeous medium matte shade, and I think it could fit many skintones! I think it is difficult to find a truly matte bronzer, especially at lower price points, so I was (and still am) super excited to find this at $19. (Sephora no longer carries it, however)

My first impression was that it is a VERY soft bronzer, and it is very finely milled. It is also quite pigmented. Here's a look at how it appears on my skin - I applied it to clean skin with a blush brush on my cheekbones. I used about two swipes per cheek, and this is how I would apply it for everyday. (Potentially even just 1 swipe!)

I would say that this bronzer is the closest shade I can think of to Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons bronzer, and I feel that it is similar in quality in terms of application and wear. (I think I need to do better swatch pictures for that bronzer!)  Guerlain's Terracotta 4 Seasons is very hard-packed in the pan, while this isn't, however I don't really have any preference either way. To me, theBalm Bahama Mama is the closest I've come to a Guerlain bronzer!

I am a HUGE fan of this product, and think it is an amazing value - especially if you can find it on sale at Hautelook or at T.J. Maxx/ Marshall's. It is long wearing for me as well, and I haven't noticed it wearing off or fading in the course of a day.

I hope this helps! This retails for $19, and I highly recommend that you pick it up! :)
