e.l.f Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

This is an awesome kit thats a 2 in 1 and i love it!

The fact that its 2 in 1 is great, if im travelling light and can't take everything this kills two birds with one stone! It's a great blush that produces a nice pink colour and a bronzer that isn't to crazy dark and off in colour. I apply both and gradually get the colour i want.

Overall, i like this product as a travel one, as its small, compact and does the job!

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 have finally found my holy grail duo ! This bronzer is the perfect contour for me without making me look muddy !! The Blush is so easy to work with and is great when your just starting out as its very build-able so you don't up with too much product at once in one spot.

The packaging is super sleek and sturdy. I was so impressed when I received it and I love the great mirror it has inside !!

At $3 I really think that everyone should have this little beauty in their collection !

I picked up the e.l.f contouring blush and bronzing powder on an after work trip to Kmart. I knew I could get it for $3 on iHerb, but I had a sudden desire to compare it to the Nars blush in Orgasm and Nars Laguna bronzer.

In the pan, both the packaging and shades are very similar to the Nars products. The sleek and sturdy black packaging really is identical, aside from the logo and I did find myself questioning the price tag I had paid for Nars. The shades too, were very similar. However, once I dipped my brush in I saw a significant different in pigmentation. To some, this may be an attribute to the product, as pigmentation equals a small amount of product going a long way. When it comes to blush and bronzer I personally prefer a medium amount of pigmentation as this allows a natural, blendable and buildable application. The pigmentation that comes from the e.l.f blush and bronzer could very easily result in too much product on the face, patchiness and a massive blending job. Too use this product on my face I found myself lightly dipping my brush in the product and then wiping it on a tissue before applying to my face. On the skin the shades do loose their similarity to their higher end 'dupes' as they appear a lot darker and the gold shimmery flecks do not transfer to the skin in the blush. Perhaps it is because my skin is pale, or perhaps it is because I have been previously using the Nars blush and bronzer, but the e.l.f alternative looks cheap and patchy on my face.

I have however continued to use the bronzer. The high pigmentation is perfect for when I haven't fake tanned my neck and I need to bronze it to match my foundation. It is quick, easy and provides a beautiful colour.

Even when using it this way the powderyness is still an issue with this product. A lot of powder is always left in the pan and as a duo this means the products spill into each other. For $3-$10 this product is a good option for those who cannot afford to spend more, however I will continue to reach for Nars, ZA and Revlon blush and bronzers over this product.

Prior to using this product I could never apply bronzer or blush correctly - i'd always end up looking like one big walking mess.

I don't know what it is about this product but I love it so much and find it really does give me the most perfect contour. This palette is super easy to use and blends into my skin wonderfully.

The price is ridiculously cheap and it has turned me into a contouring and blush addict. If you're inexperienced with applying blush and bronzer then id recommend purchasing this as it is cheap and easy to use.

I have light to medium skin tone with yellow undertone, and this bronzer is perfectly match my skin tone. it looks shimmery but after apply and blend, it just looks very natural.

the blush is not bad at all, very pigmented, easy to apply and blend, a great color for fall and winter.

the down side of this product is it can be powdery and there can be fall offs when apply, but with the price like $3 bucks, there's nothing can't be work out.

I was itching to try this product out after seeing that it was a dupe for the NARS Orgasm blush and Laguna bronzer - but for a fraction of the price.

This product is highly pigmented so a little bit does go a long way. I like to use the bronzer side for contouring as I find it is a bit too dark for bronzer (for my skin tone anyway). I use a small angle brush and a VERY light hand and I find this works really well. It blends out nicely and isn't too orange. Make sure you start off with a little bit of product as it is highly pigmented - you can always add more, but taking it off is another problem!

I like the blush colour, but not so much for during the day. I like to use it at night as it does have a bit of sparkle in it and I feel I can get away with this more so at night time than during the day. Again with the blush I use a really light hand and build up the colour gradually.

The packaging is nice and sleek with a large mirror inside. It isn't bulky so doesn't take up much room when storing it.

Overall, this product is great especially when you look at the price.

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 :).

I love the packaging of this product, it comes in a big black rubber compact with a very large mirror. I hate compacts with teeny tiny mirrors! The blush is a nice pink with a small amount of glitter but not too much, the bronzer I found to be a bit dark for my pale skin tone in winter but in summer I think it would be great. The blush is lovely and not too pigmented so you don't get clown face.

I love the bronzer BUT not so much the other side. Which is the same with a few double elf products I own. But when theyre only $3 on iherb you cant go wrong, this is a must in my beauty box. The packaging is durable, the bronze is great, not to shiny/sparkly.
