Promising review: “Beautiful bronzing set for light-medium skin like mine.  It is a very warm color so I am excited to use over summer.  This kit is small, but I prefer small kits so I can actually use it completely before moving onto the next product. If you love trying new products but hate wasting this kit is for you.  I love the cream bronze/highlight stick in this kit because it makes the skin glow without accentuating fine lines.” Cschirner
