You know summer is almost here when all the bronzers start coming out! There’s been a ton of new bronzer releases lately with sunnier days on the horizon, and it seems that this year, liquid bronzers are quite the “it” thing. Benefit just came out with the Do The Dew Soft Matte Hoola Bronzer, and the oh so popular NARS Laguna Bronzer now has a liquid counterpart as well.
The NARS Laguna Liquid Bronzer ($40 for 1oz) is the perfect bronzer for those who love a good, natural glow. While the original Laguna Bronzer has a bit of a gold shimmer to it, I find that the liquid version has more of a satiny sheen than a shimmer. It is the most perfect glow and blends out nice and natural looking, even on my fair skin. It starts out more sheer, but can definitely be built up for a stronger glow. If you like a super glowy look to your skin, you could even try mixing a bit of this with your foundation for an all-over glow. I am definitely going to be taking this on my Mexico trip at the end of this month to mix in with my paler foundations once I get a little tan!
In addition to releasing a liquid version of the Laguna Bronzer, NARS has also released the NARS Laguna Tiare Bronzer– a scented version of the Laguna Bronzer in limited edition black woodgrain packaging. This bronzer retails for $59, which is $20 more than the $39 that the original NARS Laguna Bronzer costs. The Tiare Laguna Bronzer not only has the gorgeous limited edition packaging, but it also contains a bit more product (0.35oz compared to 0.28oz in the original Laguna Bronzer) and it also comes with a mini Ita Kabuki Brush (which retails for $55 on it’s own, so that shoots the value of this limited edition bronzer waaaay up, in my opinion!).
As far as scent goes in this bronzer, it’s quite sweet and floral. It’s fairly strong if you get your nose up in there, but it doesn’t linger on your face and it’s not overpowering if you’re not right up in the bronzer giving it a good smell, haha.

Do you think you’d prefer the liquid or the powder?

April 12, 2016 at 4:33 pmSoooo pretty! I need to update my bronzer and I do love NARS!
Chelsea says
April 12, 2016 at 4:39 pmGood timing then! I love that it comes with the Ita brush as well – definitely seals the deal for me :)

April 13, 2016 at 1:20 pmNARS is a great brand for sure! Haha, do you mean you use the powder bronzer currently? Love that one :)
Caked To The Nines says
April 12, 2016 at 8:06 pmOoh I only have one liquid bronzer and am glad that more companies are coming out with them because I really like how it gives a more natural warmth! Will definitely be checking the liquid bronzer out. Is it going to be permanent?
Chelsea says
April 13, 2016 at 1:19 pmI don’t think I own any liquid bronzers other than this one, but I kind of want to get another one just to compare (and to hoard/collect, let’s be real… hahahah). I believe it is a permanent product!
Jaime says
April 13, 2016 at 2:58 amI’m gonna have to try one of those! Do you like the liquid or powder better?
Chelsea says
April 13, 2016 at 1:17 pmNormally I have a preference for powder products, but I think I may actually like the liquid a touch better! I mean, they’re both amazing, so you really can’t go wrong either way.

April 13, 2016 at 9:41 amI love Nars and use their blush often but never really tried the bronzer, the one you have in this post seems perfect. I should give it a try perhaps.

April 13, 2016 at 1:16 pmI really need to invest in some more of their blushes! I have a Dual Intensity one and love it, but definitely wouldn’t mind a couple of the regular ones as well.
Katie says
April 13, 2016 at 10:58 amI love the Laguna bronzer, I wish I would’ve waited for the limited edition one to come out! I don’t think I’d like the liquid version though, I’m super pale and I feel like my face would end up being too much darker than my body.

Chelsea says
April 13, 2016 at 1:16 pmIt blends out REALLY well, so you can control how dark you want it to be. I am super fair as well and really like it! If you already have the regular Laguna powder bronzer though, I’m sure you are good to go with that :)
Tamara says
April 13, 2016 at 1:10 pmI find things like this are such a personal preference. I love powders.
Chelsea says
April 13, 2016 at 1:12 pmVery true! It also very much depends on what your skin likes, too. I can go either way with liquid/cream or powder, but I usually have a preference for powder products. In this case, though, I think I may just like the liquid bronzer more!

April 13, 2016 at 6:34 pmI have never tried a liquid bronzer…only powder. I am paler than pale so I need to use bronzer.

April 13, 2016 at 11:29 pmThat looks so pretty! I’m ready for getting myself a new bronzer & I think I know what I’m going to go with!
Thank you ☺️
