Soleil Tan De Chanel 547 Bronze Rosé

i've told you i am really getting into bronzers this summer and so of course i had to get one from Chanel summer collection of this year. because i wanted a blush/bronzer hybrid i thought the shade Bronze Rosé would look better on me.
the Chanel 4 Facettes Bronzing Powder contains 14g and costs 51.95€.
i ordered it on douglas.de and used a 10%-off coupon code and some more for goodies (i posted them in the Lilium-post).

the bronzer comes in a big compact with a velvet pouch. it contains a big mirror and a brush of natural hair (but it's quite harsh so i won't use it).

it's a bronzer with 4 different coloured stripes:

• a shimmery golden bronze
• a light rosy tan with satin finish, it's rather powdery
• a deep reddish brown with gold shimmer
• a matte warm medium pink

mixed together it's a rosey brown with low shimmer effect - applied it gives a pink brown and looks rather like a blusher than like a pure bronzer. applied with a soft fluffy brush (i use my A'Squirrel Pure Squirrel Blush Brush) it creates a sheer warm wash on me. i concentrate on the 3 upper stripes to get a bronzey shade for the hollows of my cheeks and the sides of the face and mix in the last pink stripe to get a pinky shade for the cheeks. this way i get a glowy sculpted look without beeing too shimmery. the shade is ideal for summer and i like the fine texture that refines my skin texture. it's quite silky and firmly pressed.
it applies evenly and blends out seamlessly, it's quite sheer so you don't have to worry about blotches or a muddy appearance. it stays all day on me without fading or oxidizing. it has no distinct scent to it, but i wished it was rose-scented like their Joues Contrastes blushes.
Bronze Rosé really is beautiful to look at in the pan. it reminds me a bit of the Beach Blushes by Cargo, especially Tenerife - but i don't own Tenerife so i can't compare directly.
until now, i'm very happy with my purchase - it's not similar to any of my other bronzers yet.
i'm still awaiting the Aurora Bronzer from Dior, i hope they are no lookalikes since the Dior also contains some pink ...

Chanel Bronze Rosé: each of the 4 stripes + all mixed together in a heavy swatch + altogether in a brush-swatch.

this is how it looks on me.
