Art Deco Bronzing Glow Blusher

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.

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 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.
