Art Deco Bronzing Glow Blusher

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 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.

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.

This blush has gorgeous colours but the staying power for me is just not there. When I put this on in the morning in my bathroom it looks great and a nice flush to my cheeks, but in daylight I cannot see it AT ALL. I would have to put on a lot for it to show up at all, but I'm not comfortable with doing that and risk looking like a clown. It is also quite powdery and I can't swirl my brush in it, I have to dip it or the powder goes everywhere and far too much comes off on the brush. I don't know, I just think this was a miss for me personally, but I will use it up with other blushes layered because it was so expensive.

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!

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 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.

As I was browsing the Art Deco stand thinking I really need to buy more of this brand to see what it is all about I spotted this blusher in it's pretty packaged goodness and it jumped off the shelf and into my basket....the sneaky little thing!

Packaging wise this is what sold me first and foremost, followed by the words "limited edition" I didn't need another blush, I mean who needs 25+ blushes really, but the packaging oh my!! It comes in a heavy squared brown gold toned compact case with a printed lid that is full of paisley patterns of pink and purple, with hints of gold it all just looks luxurious. Open up the compact and on the inside of the lid is an inserted mirror and the pressed into place blush with has a pattern relief over it's surface mimicking the pattern on the lid of the compact with a blend of brown, purple and pink blush hues.

Formula wise it is a powder blush but it has the quality of a cream for it's blending ability, swirling a big blush brush over the entire surface to get a little of each colour then popping it onto your cheeks sees an instant high glow dusty rose shade which on my fair skin was a little intense, but removing the excess from the brush and using it to blend back the blush which it did obediently and in a manner similar to a cream blush leaving a hint of the dusty rose with a faint golden shine that just made me look fresh and recently returned from a beach break without being over the top in it's bronzing that it looked muddy.

This is great for coverage and I found that it was still on my face, where I plastered it upon my return home at the end of the work day so it lasts all day! I have fallen a little in love with the Art Deco brand and recently brought another limited edition blush...yes another one!
