Due to Beauty Review and the cult following of elf products I have slowly and surely added more elf products to my collection. I used to think that cheaper makeup meant not so good quality, but elf and Essence have proved this wrong.
I now have elf lip colours, highlighters, powders and this bronzer duo. All of the other products I have been very impressed with, such great quality for an affordable price. However, this would have to be the first elf product I've had which I'm not so fussed about.
This bronzer/blush duo is in the usual elf packaging, black, sleek and functional. It is simple, yet works well. I love the idea of having both a bronzer and blush is the same compact, it's so great for travelling!
My skintone is quite pale, and I like to wear bronzer year round to give me a healthy and natural looking glow. This bronzer does not look as natural as other bronzers I use (such as nars or smashbox). I find the formula gives a slight tone of orange, which I'm not a fan of.
In terms of the blush, the colour is lovely and gives me a nice, flushed look. However, I find the blush is too glittery for me.
Overall, its been great to try this product, but when it comes to my bronzer and blush I much prefer my nars products.
I purchased this a little while ago and have ended up giving it to someone else as I was really disapointed in the product. I usually really like most elf products but this just wasnt for me.
I found it to be very pigmented, which is usually a good thing, but for me this was super hard to blend and not buildable if I was wanting to use a smaller amount.
Both the bronzer and the blush have glitter in them so I couldnt use them both together as the shimmer was just waaay too much.
For the price I guess you can't really complain but I would probably be more inclined to keep it/rebuy it if it wasnt full of the glitter/shimmer.
Tips: be super light handed with this and try to build the product as its super pigmented and quite hard to blend out if too much is applied.
