Neutrogena's New Healthy Skin Blends

I recently got the opportunity through crowdtap to try Neutrogena's new healthy skin blends and healthy skin blush.
I picked out shade number 30 "Flushed" for the healthy skin blush and shade number 30 "Sunkissed" for the healthy skin blends.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Blends come in 3 different blends: Clean (Shade 10) is a translucent powder thar is supposed to help control oil and shine, Pure (Shade 20) is more of a blush that is supposed to provide and illuminating healthy color, and Sunkissed (Shade 30) is a bronzer that is supposed to give a natural bronzing radiance.

I picked Shade 30, Sunkissed which is the bronzer to try.

I already have a translucent oil absorbing powder that I love (Bare Minerals Mineral Viel) and the other sample I got was a blush so it was easy to pick the bronzer. I love a nice Sunkissed glow for my daily make up look and I'm always searching for a bronzer that's going to add a nice light glow and not an overbearing bronzer addict look (nothing worse then caked on bronzer). This bronzer came with 4 nude/bronze shades that blend together to create the perfect sun kissed color.

I use my Bare Minerals Full Coverage Kabookie to apply the bronzer under my cheek bones and to my forehead. I then slightly blend some of it out over the rest of my face. Then I take my Bare Minerals Powder foundation and apply it over top. I'm left with a beautiful healthy sun kissed glow. This product is easy to build to your desired shade. It also works perfectly with my current Bare Minerals Powder foundation and doesn't cause me to break out. At the end of the day my make up still looks as great as when I put it on, no creases. The compact stays together well and the powder doesn't get broken up even after throwing it in my make up bag day after day. It doesn't leave powder all over my counter or make up bag either.

This shade might be a bit bold for my light skin tone, I would recommend this more for darker complexions but it still ended up working great for me.
After applying my Bronzer and Foundation, I used my Bare Minerals Precision Eye and Cheek Brush (The cheek Side) to apply this to the apples of my cheeks and above my cheek bones. I then took a little bit of Bare Minerals Powder Foundation and ran over the area to calm the color down a little bit so it wasn't as bold.

I really liked this product as well. It was easy to blend like the bronzer and you could build the color to be as subtle or as bold as you wanted it to be. I tended to accidently add a little too much and was easily able to tone it down by blending some foundation over top. it worked great with my Bare Minerals Powder Foundation and didn't cause me to break out at all. At the end of the day it still looked as great as when I put it on. Also like the Bronzer the compact stayed together very well and did not leave a mess anywhere even after throwing it in my make up bag day after day and accidently dropping it on the counter a few times.
