Benefit Glamazon

Pros: Very natural looking, concentrated, no orange or shimmer, long wearing
Cons: Need to apply quickly to avoid streaks

I have had it with winter and looking like a ghost! I decided to boost my spirits (since I can't boost the temperatures in New York) by buying a few cosmetics that will make me look sun kissed. One I had been wanting to try for a long time was ...

Pros: color looks natural; blends easily; lasts all day; very concentrated; versatile
Cons: $26 is a little steep, but bottle will last a long time; packaging not travel-friendly

I’ve pretty much given up on bronzer. Every bronzer I’ve ever tried, no matter how lightly I’ve applied or carefully I’ve thought I’ve blended, have prompted my husband to ask why my face looks orange. For a good nine months out of ...

Pros: Sheer tint without the worry, natural results that wash off when you're ready..
Cons: None

Does the thought of a self-tanner scare you? What? The idea of living with an application mistake, for any length of time, gives you the jitters? Enter Glamazon by BeneFit a brand I’ve come to appreciate and adore.

Glamazon is a...

Pros: Nice alternative to self-tanning products, chic looking package, product is super concentrated.
Cons: Not the product for the fair-skinned, application bothersome.

"Is that DIRT on your face?", my husband asks. "Dirt? Yeah Charles, it's the new beauty craze."

This could be the shortest review of a product I have done to date. My husband took one look at my face after I applied this...

Pros: super concentrated, easy to use, looks great
Cons: expensive, fast-drying

Glamazon is the first product I bought from BeneFit- and the brand is now one of my favorites. I bought the little bulb jar on a whim, with a gift certificate to sephora.com, and it's definitely become part of my beauty routine.

Now, before I...

Pros: nice, natural, subtle color, not greasy at all
Cons: a little pricey

I have been searching for a liquid bronzer all summer. The ones that I have seen have been very orange and artificial. I am fair skinned, and while I do have a tan, it is not a deep dark fake looking tan. My face doesn't tan like the rest of my body, so...

Pros: A handy, little go-anywhere tan in a bottle!
Cons: Pricey & not 100% natural-looking.

Having just turned 32 this summer, I vowed that the sun would never again touch my face. And thus, my search for the perfect fake tan began. My sister suggested the Glamazon bronzer to me because she had such great success with the product, and I was...

Pros: cute package, looks good if applied quickly
Cons: hard to apply, $$$

I really am having seriously mixed feelings about glamazon. I love Benefit skincare, but I don't think I'm really sold on their make-up yet. However, I am starting to like this stuff. I love the smell, first off, it has Jasmine in it. Second, even ...

Pros: A great product that looks natural
Cons: You have to get the hang of it

I love those gals at Benefit, they're always thinking! Some of their stuff doesn't work for me, but this stuff is pretty groovy, as is the Benetint.
I am not a fan of cream self tanners, hard to control, and they feel heavy on my face, long after I...

Pros: Looks natural, stays fresh all day.
Cons: Dries fast, so you need to work really quickly.

This is the best bronzer I have ever tried! I was using a powder, but this looks so much more natural. The color is buildable, so it is very easy to adjust the shade. The color is a natural tan shade, something a lot of other products can't deliver. It also looks great rubbed into lips. I use it with the Benetint and the results are great.

Pros: Ok, compact bottle
Cons: Too sheer, not dark enough, $$

After reading great reviews about this product, I ordered it. It has a very light effect on my skin, and does not blend well. I have to use quite a bit to get a 'glow'. It's okay but I've used better bronzers and I expected more from Benefit as I love most of their products. I think I prefer powdered bronzers to this very sheer liquid one.

Pros: Smell, design, price, nice color
Cons: The A.P.P.L.I.C.A.T.O.R./Brush

I finally got my hands on the Glamazon, they brought it at Sephora, in Europe.

I must say that the first 3-5 applications were.....baaad.
And that, for 2 reasons:
1. Lack of "experience"
2. Bad "applicator"

The lack of experience led to stains on my face, irregular color, darker spots....

The "applicator"...hmmm... what were they thinking when they made this? Our face need a bit more coverage than a nail.
I am saying this because of its size, the size of a nail polish brush.

Then, i got an idea, which made the whole thing waaay easier.

Seeing that the product dries very very fast and you need lost of applications in order to get an even color i started applying it differently.

After cleaning my face and lightly moisturizing it, i took another small amount of face cream/moisturizer in my palm and there i mixed it with the Glamazon.

The moisturizer helps spreading evenly the tint.

I used a dropper (you can buy them in drug stores) because it's practically impossible to get the needed quantity of tint with their "invention", i put it in the bottle and then i "served" myself :)

Pros: looks natural when mixed with makeup
Cons: $$

I found that this was really neat if you mixed it with other makeup. Adding a couple of drops to your liquid foundation gives you a shimmery, bronze glow.

I also liked the effect when mixed with benefit jewels and applied to the apples of the cheeks.

I also found that this product works best when spread with a brush as opposed to dabbed on with the fingers. Dabbing with fingers sometimes causes an uneven distribution making it look like a smear of dirt.
