I’m not going to lie, I am easily swayed by packaging. I love pretty boxes and outlandish designs. The W7 Africa bronzing powder* not only fulfils my packaging dreams, but also makes me think affectionately of the Toto song every time I use it (if you are too young to know who Toto are, go google them, your life will then be complete).
Africa contains a mixture of pinks and brown powders, making it more of a cross between a bronzer and a blusher. Cute packaging aside, the product comes in a sturdy box, complete with it’s own (reasonable quality) brush, which when lifted off reveals the leopard print design product below.

The bronzer is a lovely light powder that goes on easily, and lasts about 6 hours on the skin. The colour is quite subtle, which is a surprise given the depth of colour in the box. It does have a subtle shimmer in it, so if you're after something matte, then this isn't for you
This is perfect for a fresh faced glow and I know it will be making a regular appearance in my makeup routine this summer.
The best thing of all is the price. W7 make a range of bargain makeup and this is no different. Africa retails for £3.99, but at the moment can be found on the
Xtras website for just £3.40.
What do you think of this bronzer?

DeleteI am so surprised by this! I've stayed well clear of this as it looked so scary and garish thanks to the packaging, and colours in the pan. It looks so gorgeous on you (your eyes look stunning btw!) I am going to have to give it a try xx

it's surprisingly soft! I think you can build up to a much deeper colour, but i was very gentle with it! Thank you for the lovely compliment xx
DeleteI'm surprised by how subtle it is, you look lovely :) and the packaging is very cool :) xx
