I found this at the local Rite Aid and was on the fence about buying it since it was about 15 dollars. I think that's pretty pricey for a drugstore bronzer, don't you? But I had to try it since it came in a light bronzer shade. Most bronzers are a bit dark for my complexion and I need to have a rather light hand during application for fear I will get that dirty look. Sometimes in the morning Im on a mad dash to get ready and do thing in the dark. It's nice to have a bronzer that is sheer enough so that I won't look like oompa loompa. I I have had a lot of luck with Physicians Formula in the past so I decided to ring this little beauty up at the register.
And let me tell you... for fair girls who want that golden glow but just a hint, this is the one to get this season. Yes, I'm totally obsessed with the cute packaging, but the bronzer itself is the true gem. It's a very light peachy-gold bronzer that gives a very subtle effect. Like the name implies, Nude Wear, is what you really get... understated but polished. Fussed with but un-fussy. I have ruddy cheeks, so I like light blushes that tone the redness down a bit instead of adding to it. This answered.
When comparing this to NYC's Sunny, this one is much lighter and has more of a golden undertone as opposed to a terra cotta or reddish brown. I think the Sunny would be flattering to most women ... and of course it's only $2.99! The PF Nude Wear is definitely more subtle but a lot pricier. It just depends on your coloring and what undertone you prefer. I personally like the PF better but would still recommend the NYC Sunny because I think it is more flattering to most women who want that bronzed look. However if you just want a hint of color, it's worth the 15 bucks!
It is a new product so I have only seen it at one Rite Aid (I visited CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and none of them had it yet!) I wanted to wait for a sale, but there were only two on display, and I really wanted to try it out so I forked over the retail. I rarely do that for drugstore cosmetics since eventually they go on sale in a week or two. I just had to have it. Was it Worth it? Heck ya! Whenever I reach for the little box, I smile because it is just so darn cute! I pair this with the Wet n Wild Reserve Your Cabana - the combination is just the perfect amount of glow! Even if I'm feeling groggy, at least I look awake and fresh!
