The worst bronzer I have ever used in my life

I am a big fan of cream bronzers in general, and I was very excited to try this one out; however, it arrived at my doorstep melted to the point that the entire bronzer stick was stuck in the cap when I tried to open it. This was, obviously, very disappointing but I did my best to use it to test out ...the formula after scraping it out of the cap and pressing it back into the tube. After testing it out for a few weeks, I can say that I wish I hadn't even bothered doing that. One of the best features, in theory, of a stick bronzer is that you can directly apply it to the face. Due to the melted formula, I have been unable to use the bronzer like this because it gets absolutely everywhere and I find that it applies way too much bronzer and looks absolutely ridiculous. Instead, I have been using a brush to apply it and blend it in. With this style of application, I have found that the bronzer is decently pigmented but despite my best efforts (and trying out many different ways of applying), the bronzer ends up looking patchy on my skin. Although this bronzer claims to provide a luminous/radiant finish, I don't find that to be the case at all. I also find that throughout the day this bronzer seems to fade away to nothing within a few hours, even if I set it with a powder and setting spray. This is disappointing, because this is the type of product I would want to use in hot weather but it has already proven to be unable to last through even a regular day of wear in cool weather, I imagine it would be pointless to try to use this in hot weather. The fact that this does not last even after setting it with a powder is really the icing on the cake here. I wouldn't expect a cream product to last all day on it's own, but the fact that adding powder and setting spray doesn't help at all is absolutely bizarre to me. My overall experience with this bronzer has been largely negative, starting the initial delivery on a sour note and only getting worse when I used the product. I want to make a note here that this bronzer arrived when it was cold out where I live, so I am incredibly confused as to why or how it arrived melted. I would absolutely not, under any circumstances, recommend this bronzer to anyone I know based on the experience I have had using it. In my opinion, you are better off just not bothering to use bronzer if this is your only option. Using this bronzer made my makeup look horrible every time I used it and I have just been so incredibly disappointed about the entire experience.
