Besides lipgloss, I’ve never tried makeup from Victoria’s Secret. When I think about Vickies, I think about pretty panties, not makeup. However, I use their foundation primer every single day and I love it. So I thought why not try out some makeup. On a recent online VS excursion, I needed a few more dollars in my cart to take advantage of the current promotion. After browsing around the beauty section, I threw Sun Goddess Baked Mineral Bronzing Powder from the new Limited Edition Wild Tropics Summer 2011 Collection in my cart, and hoped for the best. Boy did I luck out.
Let’s start with the packaging. Sun Goddess is enclosed in a metallic plastic case with a see through front to see the bronzing powder. The case is very pretty and made with a mixture of bronze and gold paint. However, the case is very prone to fingerprints as you can see above, and a bit flimsy. I would not want to accidentally drop this.
In the pan, Sun goddess appears as a fusion of bronze and gold with a hint of pink but when swatched you get mostly gold…
When using a bronzer brush to apply to the cheeks you get a nice bronze mix for that sun kissed glow…
Very pretty! As a brown skinned beauty I find that a lot of bronzers are either too light and make you look ashy, or too orange and artificial looking. Sun Goddess has the perfect balance. I know it would look even more gorgeous with a Summer tan. I plan to take this one straight to the beach as it is easy to pack away, and easy to apply with a fluffy bronzer brush. I am loving Victoria’s Secret Sun Goddess Baked Mineral Bronzing Powder, however, I am not loving the price. $16 for .19 ozs is too much for me and I say catch it with a promotion as I did. I paid $7.67, much better. Speaking of promotions, use Spring11 for $15 off $100 orders, $30 off $150 orders and $75 off $250.00 orders. VS has some really cute swim suits and sandals up so shop now at www.victoriassecret.com.

I really like this. I was surprised how pretty VS make up actually is.
Yes, they shocked the hell out of me. I will be getting more!
Do you no if this is the light, the medium, or the dark?
It was a single limited edition product, to my knowledge it did not come in different shades.
Ok thank you
