PRODUCT REVIEW - MUA & LIZ EARLE BRONZER



MUA - £3 / Liz Earle - £19.50

I recently got sent two bronzers to try out, one from MUA (i'm waring this one in the pic) and the other from Liz Earle. I thought I'd do a side by side comparison considering they're both two ends of a typical price range and are both completely different in all aspects.

Bronzed perfection from MUA is more of a matte bronzer with a subtle hint of shimmer. It's very creamy which makes it very easy to blend and you certainly don't need a lot on your brush, a little will go a long way. This product is amazing value for money, you get an generous amount for just £3. I would say this bronzer is quite long lasting, but i've found it can drop a few shades or two of colour throughout the day but certainly still noticeable and i personally don't find it an issue. It's quite large in size, which doesn't make it easy to carry around so i would like to see a smaller version of this in the future.

Natural Glow Bronzer from Liz Earle is exactly that, it gives a natural glow. It's very light and quite powdery, i had to swatch it a couple of times to get it to build up which can be a bonus or an annoyance. It's very shimmery with lots of pink and gold pigments coming through. I personally think this bronzer would look incredible if you've got a tan, it's the perfect formula for highlighting the cheeks and it's long lasting. I love the sleek packaging, it's a perfect handbag size and a massive bonus of having a mirror.

Both of these brozners are completely different, so i wouldn't recommend one over the other as everyones skin is different. But if this is about value for money, MUA wins. Although the one from Liz Earle is nice, i don't think it's quite worth the price tag.

Have you tried these bronzers? What do you think?

  2. I've wanted to try Liz Earle for some time, but when the quality of MUA is available for a fraction of the price I think it's an easy choice! Even the £1 lipsticks in MUA are decent enough for the price so if I werent too pale for bronzer I'd definitely try this! Unfortunately I'm so pale I'm translucent so no luck for me haha!

  3. As far as shades go I think I prefer the one from Liz Earle but how can you miss the MUA one when you see that price? I'm not a bronzer girl but I want to finally get out of my comfort zone and try some.

  4. That's a nice ends of the spectrum for bronzers. I'm actually looking for a new one. I was also considering trying out the Smashbox Bronze Lights Bronzer, have to admit I've always loved the No7 Bronzers especially the limited edition ones - they always seem the best!x

  15. I think with things like this, blushers and bronzers, it doesn't matter what price you go for, they all perform the same! For example the eBay blush palette - amazing pigmentation and SO cheap! I'd never splash out on a high end cheek product, personally. Though I wouldn't mind trying one out! :P
