Art Deco Bronzing Glow Blusher

I got this from Beautybay.com purely because the packaging was so beautiful! The blush, on first use, was quite 'meh' - and I have to confess I pushed it to the back of the cupboard and wasn't too impressed. Clearly I was having an off day: I found it again a few months ago - and decided it's beautiful! I use an all over swish of all the colours combined (using a Real Techniques Blush Blush) and the overall look is a warm peachy coral colour with a faint shimmer. Such a pretty product. I am a MASSIVE fan of Art Deco - I think they are one of the best drugstore priced cosmetics companies on the market in NZ. Definitely check this range out if you haven't already.

A few months ago, I was introduced to Art Deco makeup & I have been loving their products ever since! I was given some of the most beautiful makeup from their Jungle Fever Collection a couple of months ago which is almost too pretty to use!

The Bronzing Powder Compact with exclusive Jungle Fever design is totally gorgeous & gives me a natural sun-kissed matt complexion, which is something that I miss during winter. It contains Inca oil, which nourishes the skin and helps it retain moisture. It also contains SPF 15 to protect the skin from harmful UV radiation.

The collection also features the Bronzing Glow Blusher, in the shade ‘queen of the jungle’ which is a combination of three gorgeous, gently shimmering colours that sublimate my complexion with a gently sun-kissed, radiant flush of blush. I’m addicted to it and haven’t used anything else since.

Two beautiful Art Couture Lipsticks feature in this collection, the pearl blazing red (no.366) is my favourite as well as all the other girls in the office it seems. It is deliciously creamy and nourishing, and is intensely pigmented, for an ultimate statement lip that doesn’t feather or bleed.

You can go and try these limited edition beauties for yourselves at any Farmers store; but get in quick before they are all gone.

I received this blush in the shade Queen of the Jungle from the Jungle Fever Collection (not the exact blush pictured above) it contains three shades but consists mostly of a light orange toned bronzer and small sections of coral and pink.

The packaging is what first caught my attention when I opened this and I think it will most definitely stand out in my makeup collection. I love the embossed pattern on the actual product and am glad that this didn't disappear after a few uses and still looks as nice as the day I got it. The packaging is my favourite thing about this blush as I found the actual product was not my cup of tea.

I have fair cool toned skin and usually wear pinks, mauve's or peachy pink blushers and find that those that lean to the cooler side suit my complexion best. This blush looked more like a very warm toned bronzer on my complexion which wasn't very flattering. I didn't find this gave me much of a glow either just a more bronzed look (a fake orange kind of bronze). I found the blush was quite sheer also and had to build it up a lot to get a decent flush.

I was very underwhelmed by this product and would not repurchase, for the price ($40.99) I do not think it is worth it and have tried numerous cheaper yet more effective blushers than this. Even if this was in a shade more to my liking, the sheerness would still leave me wanting more for the price paid.

I have been using this every day since I received it. I absolutely love it!

The packaging is stunning and the product itself is gorgeous - I almost didn't want to touch it when it arrived as it looked so pretty.

When all the colours are swirled into one it is the perfect blush colour for me. I don't find that this is particularly pigmented, however I think that is part of what makes it great. Some blushers are so intense it is hard to pick up just a little colour and make it work. This applies really nicely and is easy to blend out and because the pigment is not too intense you can build it up to the colour you prefer and you are left with a soft glowing look to your cheek area. Perfect.

I have this in the Queen of the Jungle Shade from the more recently released Jungle Fever Collection and I have to say it was a bit underwhelming.

The compact has three shades: a small coral patch, a large orange leaning bronzing section and a small mauve pink patch. In the description it says you can use it more in one section to get a different shade/look but I found that the sections (other than the bronze) as far to small to get your brush into.

On my cheeks this blusher comes out a coral bronzer shade which I really don't find flattering on my pale cool skin tone. I find this blush comes out rather matte looking on my skin and doesn't give a dramatic glowing look like I expected it to either. I think the fact that it is more of a bronzer than a blusher is why it is said to be glowing. In saying that I would not be able to use this as a bronzer either though as it is far to orange for me.

The shade is not very pigmented but is lovely and soft and easy to blend out. The packaging is gorgeous both inside and out and feels like a high end product. The design on the blusher itself makes you hesitant to use the product since it is so pretty but fortunately the pattern is quite deeply engraved and I have used it numerous times without disturbing the design.

I would not recommend this nor repurchase it especially for the $40.99 price tag! The lack of pigmentation and unflattering shade makes it a big flop for me.

The Art Deco Bronzing Glow Blush is beautiful and light, but not very versatile. It is a product for warm seasons only; a summer blush. I will certainly continue to use this product but perhaps not re-purchase it as its uses are limited.

The colour is beautiful and I was impressed when I first opened the compact because it is not overly shimmered nor too pink. The powder is very soft with a light-to-medium colour pay-off. This makes the bronzing blush fool proof to use because you will never apply too much! However, because the product is so light it easily powders; so while 9 grams is a decent amount of product, most of this will likely never make it to your face!

The product comes in beautiful Art Deco inspired packaging with a handy mirror in the compact. I'd be happy to carry the Bronzing Glow Blusher with me during summer... but unfortunately I may have to pack it away for the remainder of winter until my tan comes back!

I really loved wearing this bronzer. Because you can build up the level of colour you want, I still look natural wearing it in winter. It is light on the face, as in I didn't feel like I had powder caked on. I was complemented on my healthy glow whenever I wore it! Can't wait to try it out in summer to see how it works with slightly darker skin

This isn't a heavily pigmented product, and doesn't have a lot of shine, so I found this perfect for daytime. I found it hard to build up enough for an evening look, so would recommend if you prefer a more subtle blush/bronzer, and love absolutely gorgeous packaging!

I tried this blush after hearing a rave review on Youtube. Whilst the packaging is beautiful, it really has a luxurious feel to it, and inside it looks beautiful, I found that it wasn't pigmented enough for my skin tone, I cant use it as either a blush or a highlighter as neither seem to work on me. I was really disappointed as it looks amazing ,but it just seems to blend into my skin and disappear? I wanted to love this product , but it just doesn't work for me.
