- “I love the tone of this”30:28–30:31

Variant: 20 Light Medium
- “Reworked, repackaged, but still the amazing formula that we knew back in I don't even know what year”2:58–3:05
- “I love anything that's chrome, silver, metallic. I just think it looks so chic”3:19–3:22
- “This is the type of shade that I'm always looking for in a bronzer. Kind of in between a bronzer and a contour, which I really like. It's not too cool, not too warm”3:38–3:42
- “Don't need a lot of this because it is pigmented”3:46–3:50
- “Love that I can use this on my face, but also it's the perfect crease color”3:48–3:52
- “Marc Jacobs said not over here. We're going to give you a nice compact, a nice big mirror with good quality”4:03–4:09
- “Still such a great bronzer. So happy to see them come back”

Variant: Light Medium
- “I initially got light medium plus and a lot of you were telling me that the light medium shade was much closer to the OG bronzer that we all knew and loved. And I think it is closer. It's not the exact same. The tone the undertone is slightly different. I don't think this is quite as neutral”5:44–5:51
- “But it is unquestionably a gorgeous matte bronzer formula. Effortless, buildable, silky”6:05–6:11
- “That's what's so special about this bronzer and what was so special about the OG Marc Jacobs bronzer is the texture of it. So silky and soft and so natural as well on the skin”6:11–6:18
- “I would say I don't think I can say equally to the OG. I think the OG just pips it for me. But that did have some issues. I the packaging was a mess. The product did collapse when you got to the end of it. It was very thin in the pan. So I do think that this is better”
- “It's a gorgeous bronzer”

- “The color is really nice”9:23–9:26
- “It is really nice and it's growing on me more and more”
- “It hasn't been as impactful as they say or Bosma”9:36–9:43

Variant: Light Medium
- “The old Marc Jacobs bronzer was incredible. It was top tier, one of my holy grails. This is good, but I don't believe that it is the same”13:22–13:28
- “I found this to be very, very thin, and it's hard-pressed. So, it's not something that, you know, powder's flying all over. It is very creamy, though”13:49–13:57
- “It is definitely a creamy feel that blends out, and it does build quite nicely. The color is nice, but again, there's just something about it that isn't wowing me”14:00–14:09
- “I think if you purchased it, you would like it, but I don't think that it's life-changing or a tone or finish that is, you know, extraordinary and a game-changer”14:14–14:18
- “I do think it blends really nice, but it's just not wowing me like I thought it would”14:34–14:41
- “I don't think you'd be disappointed, but it's not going to replace any of my like top-tier bronzers”14:49–14:54

- “That blended in beautifully”
- “I just took the tiniest amount”13:55–13:59
- “I certainly turned my face a little bit orange with that bronzer, but it's still like it's a pretty healthy looking good glow”15:57–16:01
