That's who I bought mine off on Ebay. I LOVE it! I've swatched it on my blog:

Vex In The City: Style Warriors & other beauty haulage

I swatched Glided and thought it was nice but have sinec decided that I can just use MSF Brunette if I want a glow on top of the Stila instead of buying another product.

I can't believe it's been this long since this thread was bumped. Anyway, ladies, I got a sample of Toof Faced Sun Bunny and I like it a lot. I have swatched this product at least twice and thought it was too light but when I actually tried it on my face I liked it a lot. Might have to pick this one up.

yea i got it from ffcloset.com for like 9.99 (its gone now, though) its absolutely better than i expected. its more of a matte bronzer that looks SUPER dark in the container, but once you get the tiniest amount on your brush, it blends out to be this goldeny brown shade that isnt ashy, and its just gorgeous. they have it on the regular facefront site but its a newer formula. i dont see myself running out on this for YEARS theres so much product and you only need a few granules lol

im gonna wear it tomorrow so i'll do a FOTD

Thanks! Is the color deep enough for a NW45?

has anyone else seen Milani's TANtastic face & body baked bronzer? i couldnt find anything about it online and i didnt even see it on Milani's website.

i went to cvs earlier to get ice cream, but i always peruse the cosmetics section first for deals. it was the same ol' same ol' until i walked around and saw on the other side a display for Milani "naturals" and "bronzed" or something. there were some pretty eyeshadows (nice colors, but too much sparkle imo) and BRONZERS!

they have this (Milani Cosmetics - BODY BRONZER) that looks really pretty, and looks like it would be the lustre drop for face and body. i can see it working on any skin tone.

but then i saw this huge thing that was the TANtastic bronzer (for a split second i thought it was the LORAC bronzer, which is really nice but not for $30 no thnx). i only saw two and the girl said those were the only two that were there.
"01 Fantastic in Gold" actually looks like a cross between New Vegas McQueen skinfinish and MAC Format blush. the other one (it was "02" but i didnt read the name) looked like a cross between Cheeky Bronze skinfinish (Colour Craft) and Sweet as Cocoa.

i ended up getting 01 because i hardly wear Sweet as Cocoa as it is, and i am often weary of anything coppery on my face, but i may get it tomorrow.

i tried it on and though it looks super glittery and sparkly, it goes on like any other skinfinish and it's really pretty with buildable intensity.

it was only $10, so if you want something that will make you "glow" that's really cheap, it wouldn't hurt to go for that i guess.

/my two cents

I saw this today, wanted to get it but hesitated because I have myself on a beauty budget of $10 bucks a week and I just bought that expensive Too Faced Shadow Insurance...Anyhoo, after reading your review I want to go get them b/c that was the only store that I saw them in and i don't want to miss out. I've been searching High and Low for a bronzer for my skintone. The first thought that came to my head was that it was a dead ringer for MAC MSF's...

Nope, it's a dead ringer for LORAC'S TANtalizer. Looks the same, same packaging, etc. Me and pnuttbuttajelli had a good laugh about that lol. Like, "Gee, wonder where they got inspiration for this from!"

lol @ the $10 beauty budget. the only way that's possible for me is to either be hungry, or to steer clear of MAC, Sephora, and CVS (no matter what, i always find something new to buy from Milani

)

well, i've tried it on since i first wrote that and it IS a pretty gold color. however, just like the LORAC and half of the bronzers out there, it has a glitter factor. i only own one MSF so i'm probably not the best judge, but it's kinda like New Vegas where one extra swivel of the brush will put too much glitter on your face. it takes some buffing or maybe just one swipe of face powder to tone it down if you feel you've put on too much.
but for $10 i think it's worth a shot.

also, it's fragrant, which isn't so bad for the product, but can be a bit irritating to smell on the brushes (i moved my perfumes away from my brushes because i thought it was them when really it was the bronzer).

nobody asked you.

btw i uploaded a new video today and i said that the bronzer is an OBVIOUS knock-off of the the LORAC bronzer, lol.

I saw the Milani TANtasic last night and thought about getting it but, I wanted to see reviews.The packaging is just like Lorac but it's MASSIVE. I don't even know where I would store that thing.
I hate things that are too glittery. I have a sample ror Lorac Tantalizer and its pretty nice and its not a total glitter bomb.I use MAC sunbasque and format as bronzers too. I have N.y.c sun to sun in Terracotta Tan I like the colors but it isnt very pigmented. My fav. bronzers are more golden, minimal glitter just to give a glow within kind of look.

lol ikr, it's like the size of one of those cookie ice cream sandwiches (the one with the chocolate chips on the ice cream part). if you're NC and you decide to get it, may i suggest you go for 02 because it's more coppery, which i always figured looked better on NC skin. but idk. like i said, for $10 it doesn't hurt to try *shrugs*

and as much as i loved the Lorac Tantalizer, my issue was that it's $30 (i'm trying to work on my transition into more expensive cosmetics, but it's so hard). i remember really loving it at first, that matte one that is, but wasn't sure how much i'd like it on my face with the little flecks of glitter. maybe i should get a sample? how did you go about getting one?
