Sugar Cosmetics Tropic Tan, $25
TotalBeauty.com rating: 8.5
"Though geared toward teens, Sugar Tropic Tan isn't as adolescent as it looks. Sans brush and inconveniently large (almost compact disc-sized), the mirrored compact may not seem worth $25 at first. But one application lasts all day and one purchase, all year. Available only in Sunkissed Bronze, the buildable, pressed powder highlights with a super-fine shimmer and can "tan" lighter skin up to two shades without looking too orange. Color is richer than that of Physicians Formula, but it's no substitute for self tanner on body. (Tip: Avoid patchiness with one of these.)"

I love, Love, LOVE bronzer!!! My favorite is Cargo's bronzers...the consistency is so smooth and silky plus they have a water-resistant bronzer that's perfect for humid weather.

I am going to try the Origins product. I have fallen in love with their products so I can't wait to get this!

I like this article but I think they left out some holy grail drugstore finds like rimmel sundance or NYC sunny, also the elf blush and bronzing duo is almost an exact dupe for the nars laguna bronzer and orga$m blush... just saying

It wasn't listed surprisingly since it's always sold out when I want to buy more, but the best bronzer this fair-skinned girl has ever used in Too Faced Snow Bunny. It's perfect if you just want a little glow or want to look darker without looking fake or cake-y.

Super helpful! All the bronzers I try to pick out always look so fake, I;m glad there are some great alternatives to try.

I love NARS everything, especially the blushes and bronzers. This product is one of those you will always want to invest in.
