There are lots of reasons why you might want an instant bronze body glow. For example, I’ve been wearing my one shoulder bathing suits to the beach. So, when I wear a t-shirt, my skin looks crooked. One side has a sun-kissed glow. The other side is pale. So, a body bronzer is just the thing to correct that. And, Marc Jacobs just came out with The Marc Jacobs Glow Away Bronzing Coconut Body Stick! Above all, this could be your next summer accessory!
Finally, the stick blurs imperfections. Also, it makes your skin look smoother. You can find the Marc Jacobs Bronzing Coconut Body Stick at Sephora, and on the Marc Jacobs Website. Also, Glow Away (1.7 oz. / 50 g) costs $39.
Packaging For The Marc Jacobs Glow Away Bronzing Stick
To start, the Glow Away Body Stick comes what looks like a roll-on underarm deodorant. Therefore, it is a bronzer stick. The bronzer looks like a large dome. Furthermore, the stick is easy to travel with. The reason is, the bronzer is solid.
The Glow Away Coconut Body Bronzing Stick Formula
Most important are the key ingredients for the Body Bronzer Stick. Coconut. In fact, there are 5 forms of coconut in this formula. And, coconut, a rich source of nutrients and vitamins, is nurturing for your skin. Therefore, the bronzer has a coconut scent. That is because the formula includes coconut alkanes, coconut oil, coconut water, coconut fruit juice, and coconut fruit extract!
In addition, the formula is lightweight. It is a creamy formula. Moreover, the formula is not stick or oily. Most of all, it won’t transfer. Best of all, the formula is waterproof!
The Shades of the Marc Jacobs Glow Away Coconut Body Bronzing Stick
The body bronzing stick comes in three shades. First, Tantastick is the lightest shade. Next, Tantric is the medium shade.
I purchased this shade.
Last, if you have deeper skin, Tantalize the deepest Stick.
Application For the Glow Away Coconut Body Bronzing Stick
This is where I ran into trouble. The directions for applying the stick states that you swipe the stick on. Then, using your fingers, you rub in the bronzer. First of all, the application, using my fingers, was a disaster. One reason was, it was difficult to rub the bronzer into the skin. Maybe, with a lot of moisturizer, or oil on the skin, you may have better luck.
Yet, I was determined to get this body bronzer to work. So, I used one of my large foundation brushes. Again, I swiped on the bronzer, as per the directions. Then, I blended the bronzer in with my large brush. Yes, the bronzer blended in. However, you still saw the line where I swiped it.
Not wanting to give up, I put the bronzer on the brush. This result was more what I was looking for. Although, I really had to work to blend the bronzer in.
My Final Thoughts On The Marc Jacobs Glow Away Coconut Body Bronzing Stick …..
First of all, I loved the concept! I love bronzers that make you look glowy, and make your skin look airbrushed! And, this one was supposed to do this for your body! Well, it didn’t work at all when I used my fingers.
I really had to work at getting this bronzer to do what it said it would do. It took too long, and was too hard to get this to look smooth.
