e.l.f Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

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 managed to pick up this up at iherb, for a cheap price. I like the packaging how it is a sleek black, I like the idea of having a bronzer and a blusher in one compact. It is really good for a travel compact with the big mirror. The blush and bronzer are not to bad they are a good staple bronzer and blush.

I bought this on line when purchasing some brushes from iHerb and thought I would try it out. Well, this really is value for money. There are expensive blushers in a very similar case, however this really doe s work. It is easy to apply with a good blusher brush followed by a soft blender brush. Then swoop around to contour with the bronzer for a perfect effect. Mine lasts all day from 7 a.m. till I get home. A quick top up is perfect for evening glow. It is easy to clean off and my skin is clear and ready for night time moisturiser. I've never bought such a cheap product that has such good results!

I use this for my daily work makeup. It lasts the duration of the day. Sweating can make it run but for the price it is a must have for the quick daily applications.

I bought this online in the colour St Lucia, I had heard good thing about one of the shade, but since this was the only colour available I thought I would try. Sadly I was quite disappointed, the blush looks a nice colour, but doesn't have good pigmentation at all and hardly shows on the skin. The bronzed is ok and I do use this in moderation regularly, but to dark for me to use as a contour shade. I really would try the other shades, because for that price, as I have heard that they have some nice blush colours.

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.

this contouring blush and bronzer powder kit is really good for the price i think it is a bargain the colour and pigmentation is great and it lasts all day not he skin

I know that ELF has always been a bit hit & miss, but in my recent ELF haul I'd made a promise to try this.

The blush is a beautiful pinky shade that gives your cheeks a lovely pink-ish tint. Perfect for everyday wear. And the bronzer is awesome for bronzing up the face and contouring! I'd say the bronzer shows up matte enough for those things, but the blush has some shimmer to it. The bronzer lasts longer than the blush does, but that's not a big deal.

Packaging is fantastic! have taken this compact travelling plenty of times and no issues.

Overall this product is amazing , the price is great and the quality is great too

I think this is a great buy if you're new to contouring and don't want to splurge out on something expensive yet. However, I personally find that this contour kit does not do my face any justice as it is way too dark and golden toned for my pale complexion and has too much shimmer. I can never get it to look flattering without caking my face. This could be however because I have a fairly round face and have a difficult time finding the natural shape of my cheek bone.

The e.l.f contouring blush and bronzer I purchased was in the colour 'St Lucia'.

So this little duo comes in a relatively sturdy case which I'm really happy about. With cheap products the first thing you tend to notice quality wise is rubbish packaging - this compact is an exception.

The pink is a nice warm colour with a gold undertone. It makes the cheeks look nice and naturally flushed. The colour pay off can be a little light and it takes a few brushes to make it nice and pigmented. It seems to stay on well all day with very little colour fade. The brown contouring shade is great - it has no orangey tones to it like some contouring shades and it looks really natural on the face. Like the pink it also has a gold shimmer to it (which I personally don't like in the powders I use for contouring). Unlike the pink it is much more pigmented and you need to be a little careful when applying. It pays to really tap the brush before putting it on your face.

As for the 'hit and miss' title, I have bought two of these now and the second one was TERRIBLE! The quality was not even comparable to the first one I purchased. It was dry and my brush couldn't pick up any of the product. I'm not sure why there was such a difference in the consistency but it was pretty disappointing.
