Review: E.L.F Contouring Blush & Bronzer Powder



Today i will be reviewing e.l.f contouring Blush and Bronzing powder ! is it really worth the hype? is it a dupe for NARS laguna and orgasm ?! Read my review to find out

Hello and Sallam to all !
Today on my to-do review is the most talked about e.l.f Blush and bronzer duo

What does e.l.f say ?
Create a healthy and natural glow all year long. The Blush highlights the cheeks to add a flush of color, while the Bronzer accents and contours cheekbones for beautiful definition.

My thoughts :
i have been using it everyday since i got it , which i showed in my mega haul post HERE

I always wanted to try a bronzer  but was always skeptical as what color would suit me , would it make me look too orange too mudy ? until i heard about this 
* i would say that my photos dont do them justice


Packaging :



its nice , black and sleek , its comes with a huge mirror , perfect ! its not heavy or hard to carry at all ! The packaging is almost the exact same as  the NARS duo


*this is their Exact color 







Blushed :
Its a nice light pink coral shade with hint yellow/gold shimmer .The blush shows up well on me , not to crazy as its sheer . Its not very pigmented though . Its said to be a dupe for NARS orgasm , I dont own orgasm BUT i swatched it at the store and it was pretty close ! I would say its a dupe for deepthroat and orgasm but orgasm is more pigmented and brighter/deeper pink . Overall , you cant go wrong with this blush but i wish it was more pigmented

Bronzed :
Let me start of by saying that im in LOVE with this product! Its a nice light milky chocolaty color with very little shimmer . I use it every day and i love it ! this and the blush combined give you such a sun kissed look! It gives more of a sunkissed look , then a contour . It DOES contour but i would suggest a matte bronzer for that . I love how it makes my cheekbones look ! However i highly suggest using a very light hand and product or it wont blend and it would end up looking muddy and blotched . Its VERY pigmented and a legit dupe for NARS laguna , their practically twins ! Except the fact that laguna is around $30 and this came in a duo for just $3 !!!
Laguna is a slight like meir lighter but once applied they both look the same
 
Here is a swatch :
Pros:

Lightweight

blendable
Super pigemented
Good staying power
amazing color and price

Cons:

  • only available at selected stores
  • You may not like them if you like matte blush/bronzers

Would i recommend ?
This is a MUST have ! for $3 you cannot go wrong , Its amazing !
