Alright, here we go. Same arm as before :D

In the shade, natural light.

Direct sunlight. This photo doesn't show off the colors as well as the others but it shows the difference in finish.

Everything is applied dry without a primer or anything.

I think Halo is beautiful but it doesn't work very well on my face (I'm yellow enough as it is!), it makes a great eyeshadow though. Siren is g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s, but has to be applied very carefully. I can totally see myself wearing this more as I get more tanned.
I got a sample of Cider in my very first SN order, but have only managed to wear it successfully as a blush once. I mostly use it in the crease - that and Tahiti Sweetie, which is way too dark for me to use as a bronzer.
Highbeam and Velocity are two of my favorite eyeshadows and both can be used to highlight the cheekbones, but their shimmer is more glittery versus the high sheen of the glows, if that makes any sense.

Yes, Beach Bunny is to the right of Cider and also horizontal above all of the other colors.

I bought a sample of cider when it first came out. Its beautiful but way too dark on me. I'm hoping beach bunny will be good!

No I wouldn't say that... Velocity is more "chunky" (I wouldn't call it chunky but it is pure glitter, downright metallic when foiled) Highbeam is a light peach color with lots of gold shimmer. Many people use it as a browbone/tearduct highlight but I use it as a lid color, it's one of my all-time favorites.

Thanks ladies for all your help!!

I got my order w/ Beach Bunny. I really like it. I applied it as a blush/bronzer combo and it looked very natural and healthy.

I’m using bronzer, too. I had switched on it because it makes me tan in a short time and at the same time, I didn’t spend more time in tanning beds but now I am looking for the best bronzer or an effective tanning lotion. I am not familiar with it because I'm just new with bronzers.

I will add a sample of Beach Bunny to my next order. I wasn't expecting Tahiti Sweetie to be that much darker, the swatches were very helpful!

Thanks
Yeah, Beach Bunny is awesome for fair skin. It can be applied really lightly for springtime or more heavily once you've built up a tan. I normally can't wear bronzers, but Beach Bunny is one of my fave products. I'm glad it worked out for you!!

2nd this. I have been wearing Beach Bunny at least a couple of times a week. Beach Bunny is also nice as an eye shadow. I have green eyes.
