On to my thoughts:

At first sight, the packaging of this bronzer is beautiful! I love the vibrant colors and the design that is molded into the bronzer. The price itself is on the more expensive side for a drugstore bronzer but my local CVS was offering extra bucks with the purchase of a certain dollar amount of Physicians Formula products. Most stores that sell Physicians Formula offer some type of deals and such so more likely than not, you wouldn't pay full price for it. This bronzer smells like coconuts and pina coladas. I love the scent of it. The bronzer comes in two colors; light bronzer and bronzer. This is the darker shade called bronzer. This is interesting because I find this to be on the lighter side in general. It shows up fine on me now but I think with a tan, it might end up being too light. I would say that this bronzer is good for light skin tones but may work with fair skin  and  medium skin tones as well. You would have to try it out for yourself and see. If you are afraid of it being too orange or dark, then I would go with the light bronzer.  In general, this is a really good bronzer. Even though it looks sparkly in the swatch above, its not super glittery on the skin. It gives your cheeks a nice sheen/glow. The color isn't too orange on me and is a nice warm brown tone. It applies nice and smoothly and is in fact a butter feeling just like its name. I would recommend this to someone looking for a subtle bronzer that will give you a nice glow.
