Bourjois BB cream Bronzer 8 in 1 review

I wrote on Monday about Soleil Tan de Chanel and Bourjois Paris Bronzing Primer (review here) and this BB cream could have been part of that post but it was already too long so I decided to review it separately. It is somewhat different from the other 2 products and I definitely didn't want to skip reviewing it.

Price: 13,90€ for 30 ml (in French Sephora) or any drugstore where they sell Bourjois (also at asos.com).

Smell: it is part of the chocolate collection just like Bourjois Bronzing primer so it has light chocolate scent.

Colour: the same as the Bourjois bronzing primer or Chanel bronzer, so light warm colour, well pigmented and therefore suitable for light/medium/darker skin tone.

Texture and finish: it is a thicker liquid, it has similar texture to regular BB creams, it is not very luminous but definitely adds little bit of glow to the skin so I think girls with oily skin can still enjoy this product as much as girls with dry skin.

Application: you can use fingers or brush with synthetic bristles, under or over cream/liquid foundation and under the powder. Put few dots wherever you want and blend well.

I tried few different methods of application:

Firstly, I used it alone to bronze my face (I only had regular BB cream underneath that I use instead of daily moisturizer). It gave my face beautiful glow, it really looked like I was suntanned and I can see myself using it when creating natural "no makeup" look.
Then, I used it the same way as Chanel or Bourjois cream bronzer, so I put it over the foundation to bronze my skin and it looked nice as well, little bit more defined as if I put it under the foundation.
Lastly, I mixed it with a foundation (foundation that was too light for me) and it gave warmer colour to that foundation (colour may vary according to the foundation you use). I expected to achieve some glow on my skin but it didn’t do that so it is not my favourite use of this product.

Longevity: last 4-5 hours (over the foundation and under the powder), didn't disrupt the foundation when mixed with it. One bottle will last you forever since you need just little bit of product.

What concerns the claims on the bottle:

1. Evens skin tone (only where I put it which is not all my face, so if you don’t have flawless skin, you might need something underneath it to do this job properly) 
2. Sheer tint (I agree) 
3. Boosts radiance (it adds some glow but not as much as regular cream highlighters) 
4. 16-hour moisturisation (I didn’t feel difference with or without it) 
5. Smoothes skin (I didn’t notice difference; it didn’t smooth my skin like silicone primers) 
6. Prolongs tan (I don’t suntan so I didn’t test this claim) 
7. SPF 15 (since I don’t put it all over the face I definitely have to wear other product with SPF) 
8. Refreshing sensation (I didn’t feel anything extra refreshing on my face). 

Final verdict: I think this product is really multifunctional and with so many uses, affordable price and good bronzing colour I will definitely get good use of it, even more than the use of Chanel or Bourjois cream bronzer. I think I will give Bourjois cream bronzer to one of my friends and keep just the Chanel cream bronzer and this Bourjois BB cream/bronzer.
