e.l.f Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

I'm a big bronzer fan but I've only recently started playing with contouring my cheeks. Like other ELF products, the packaging of this little compact is simple but effective, with a small mirror for on-the-go touch-ups and a case sturdy enough for travel. I have it in St Lucia which is really perfect for my colouring. The bronzer is very dark and pigmented, I applied it first to contour my cheekbones and then used a kabuki brush to really blend it in, otherwise you end up with quite a streaky, dirty-looking effect. The blusher is the perfect shade of pink to give a nice, natural looking glow. Both look very shimmery in the palette but I didn't notice any sparkle once they were on the skin.

The only downside to both of these was I found they had a lot of fallout in the palette. Otherwise, this is a fantastic product and a real bargain at the price! I will definately be repurchasing and highly recommend.

The palette is super pigmented so you don't have to put on much, it stays put all day and the bronzer has a matte finish which is fab.

Im not a big bronzer fan but when i brought this contouring kit i am now in love with bronzing, its not to heavy and not to dark its perfect for my skin tone (im so pale) haha so i only apply a tiny bit and then blend it out with a blending brush and its perfect!!!!

I'm a newbie to contouring, and this is the first 'dedicated' contour kit I've purchased. Love it.

The compact is a nice size and it has a mirror, which is great for when you're on-the-go or traveling.

The bronzer: I find you really don't need much as it's very pigmented. It's really easy to blend. There's a slight shimmer to it, but I don't find it too much (or even that noticeable on me).

The blush: This is quite a pale pink and is quite shimmery. I don't mind the shimmer at all, but I wish the pink was a bit darker/more intense. I tend to use this over a darker pink blush to add dimension to my cheekbones, as on it's own it gets a bit lost on my skin tone.

Affordable and effective.

I personally love the blush side of this. It's nice and light but very buildable. I find the bronzer quite dark on my pale skin but it will be brilliant when I become a bit more brave with my contouring.

I love the packaging as it fits into my zip pocket of my handbag. The large mirror helps as well :).

Brought this when Iherb had a beauty sale it was $2.40 US (Incredible). I literally had nothing to lose.

The blush and bronze colours go together perfectly. Only a little is needed as colour is intense

Formula is very smooth and goes on perfectly.

They both have a touch of shimmer in them which may make the product more suitable for night time use.

I am not 100% on the wearing of this product for this price you can totally afford to reapply.

Firstly, the bronzing shade in this compact does have quite a shimmer to it but on the right skin tone it looks beautiful giving off a lovely glow for day and also having the ability to build it up to a nice contour for an evening look. The contour is highly pigmented and quite smooth not needing Muhammad to build up your desired look. The blush however takes more convincing it's not as highly pigmented and gives off more of a shimmer as well but this does go nicely with the bronzer and is a very complimentary shade on most skin tones. The price is about $10 however I bought it in the states for $3 about two years ago and I still have not hit pan. There was a point were I used it practically every day for about 10 months and still pan was not seen anywhere! There is a lot of product in this. The colours have been said to be a dupe for one of the Nars duo compacts as well. Overall this product is amazing for the price and is definitely worth your 10 dollars.

I love the blush in the St lucia duo. The bronzer can be quite muddy and dirty looking, you need to blend blend blend. It also doesn't last very long on my cheeks and i dont use it anymore.

I love love love the blush in this pallet, it has an amazing glow to it and it's super cheap as well. The bronzing pallet I think would be better with lighter skin as it's quite light .
