A Day At The Nude Beach? Bobbi Brown Face & Body Bronzing Duo

Released as part of Bobbi Brown's Nude Beach Summer 2013 Collection, the Face & Body Bronzing Duo is my second favorite bronzer (Laura Mercier's Ritual placing first) of the season. I've stated this before, but I have an affinity towards reddish/rosy bronzers, as I feel they give the skin more of a natural sun-kissed affect.

The compact is massive! It's larger than my palms, containing .6oz./17g of product, and retails for $42.00.

This duo is divided into two parts: a dusty, brownish-mauve, desert rose blush, and a deeper, slightly redder- rosy bronzer with a satin finish. Both sides are velvety smooth, highly pigmented, blend wonderfully, contains no shimmer, and give the complexion a sunny warmth and the cheekbones an instant lift.

From left to right: the blush and bronzer.

The gorgeous muted rosy shades of both products allows them to transition perfectly into the upcoming season (only 2 days away!) as my Autumn contour. I look forward to Pairing the face & body bronzing duo with burnt orange, berry and other Autumnal shades, for endless blending possibilities. The Face & Body Bronzing Duo is a limited edition product, however, it's still available on Sephora.com and macys.com.

What are some of your favorite bronzers of Summer 2013?
