e.l.f Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

I got mine from Iherb (where I buy all of my ELF makeup) in the colour St Lucia and I was really excited to try it out. I was pretty disappointed when I finally did try it.

I find that it doesn't really contour my face that great (perhaps the colour I got was too light to do this) and found it to be a little shimmery.

I do like the blush though, but definitely not a fan of the contour powder.

I have used both the real techniques contour brush and also one of the Jessup face brushes using this product. Don't think I will buy it again. Have just bought the NARS blush kit so will see if that does a better job xx

I was pleasantly surprised with this, I thought it was going to be way to dark for me. When I first applied the bronzer I thought, oh no complete disaster! But once I blended it out, I ended up with a beautiful glow. The blush really compliments the bronzer.

Both the blush and bronzer are nice and pigmented. They go onto your face smoothly.

Give it a go, it's only $3 and if it doesn't work for you it doesn't really matter.

I bought this because it was cheap and looked like the Nars one that I had. Definitely not as good as Nars! It is ok, and I will finish using it. I bought it in America so it was $3, would buy it again if I could get it for that price but wouldn't pay more.

I bought this in the colour 'St Lucia' from iHerb and it definitely does what it should. The blush and contour colours compliment each other perfectly, but I find that the contour is VERY pigmented so I have to be careful how much I apply (because even after blending out I look too dark around the cheekbones) The product does brush on incredibly easily though which is great

i like this product but that's it just "like".

i have st. lucia, its great if you're just starting out or want to save $$$.i like the colors and think they compliment each other well.

i manage to achieve a pretty good contour with the bronzer however its too shimmery for my liking. i also love the blush colour but it doesnt apply very well and doesnt last long at all.

i probably will save up when i want to buy another blush/bronzer duo and buy high quality instead

I bought this product recently as I heard it was a good dupe for Laguna and I'm patiently waiting to stock up on my Nars products for when I go overseas.

I wasn't disappointed with this product, partially because I expected I would be. As I was pleasantly surprised, the pigmentation of the bronzer/contour is wonderful, possible too orange toned for me at this time of the year, but when summer hits and I tan up I'm sure it'll suit better. The blush isn't my favourite, pigmentation is not as good as the bronzer but it does the job.

So down to the details.. the product looks sparkly in the pan. This put me off a bit as contours should be matte to create depth. Sparkle is usually reserved for drawing attention, like on your eye lids. But once applied, there's no noticeable sparkle, a huge relief.

Texture isn't bad, its pretty soft but in the pan, once used, it goes a bit grainy and gross. It does not transfer onto your skin that way but this could put some off.

I applied using a small contour brush for the bronzer and a blush brush for the blush.

Not a bad product, but I still will be shelling out for Laguna ;)

I found that both the blush and bronzer are both wayyyyy too shimmery on me when applied as I normally would. I've found ways to make it work though. The blush when applied lightly on a matte base looks decent. But the bronzer is only usable if I'm wanting a VERY glowy bronzed look (when used lightly). Definitely can't use the bronzer as a contour.

I really love the bronzer in this, its really dark which works with my skin tone as a contour, i brought this offline for 3dollars , it has a slight glittery look to it which i like, i love this , i will buy this over and over again and at 3dollars it is really pigmented :) and the blush is natural looking its more peachy then pink

I got this duo in St Lucia and it's so nice to work with. The two colours are both lovely and creamy and they blend in so nicely. The blush is a bit darker and peachier than I'd usually go for, but it's become one of my staples. It just looks nice and natural and leaves a dewy finish. I'm still getting used to using the bronzer, as it's my first one, and sometimes I'm not sure how much to put on. It blends in very well, so sometimes you think you need more, but as I have a very fair skin tone, I don't want to apply too much!

I found both the blush and the bronzer to be very shimmery which is something i usually don't go for, however i do think it looks nicer on skin than in the packaging. Both are very beautiful and pigmented. The blush is very natural looking & i find the bronzer alight, it isn't as good as some other brands I've tried but it is still amazing for the price! I bought this product because i heard it was a dupe for 'Nars Orgasim & Lagoona' i personally haven't tried the Nars ones, but i love the elf one! If your on a budget or just looking to test some new stuff out, this is a great product!
