    With this blush- bronzer combo you get what you pay for. It is decent, so I have bought it before but I don't think I would buy it again.

    This e.l.f. studio contour palate is talked about for being a dupe for the NARS contour kit. It comes in a few shades and is made up of a bronzy/brown contour powder and a matching blush.

    The contour powder is ok. I have olive skin and it seems to work alright, although I am not the most experienced contour-ista. The blush isn't nearly as pigmented. The colour I have is nice but it doesn't show up well on my face. It is too shimmery and is just not great quality.

    For $4 (at Target) I have no regrets and will probably continue using the contour side.

    The blush is a pretty peachy-pink color and reminds me of NARS Orgasm, but the color is sheer and chalky. The pigmentation on the contour powder is much better (it is actually quite pigmented so you have to use a light hand), but I find the color to be too orange. It also runs dark on most skin tones. Personally, I would not repurchase this product.

    This is a great product and its affordable. It is comparable to a lot of higher end products. One thing that I dont like about this porduct is I found that it has a LOT of glitter and its chalky!

    This is by far my favorite blush I have ever used. I ALWAYS get compliments on it; It's such a gorgeous color! I've hit pan! I can talk for so long about the blush, it's a wonderful peachy-pink color with gold shimmer. It is a bit talc-y, but it's easy to overlook once you see the color. I hate the bronzer though. It stays in one spot and doesn't blend very well. I sometimes use it as a crease color, and that works okay. You have to use a very light touch because it "crumbles" very easily. BLEND THE HECK OUT OF IT. The color is good for blue eyes, but for a bronzer... not good.

    With ELF's prices, I think this is really affordable and it works well. I haven't tried any top class bronzers so I can't really compare. But just using this has given me a great face contour. As I'm actually starting out with make up, this is great for beginners. You don't spend a lot of money, it works well, and you get the practice.

    I saw this product and I was initially drawn to it because of it's comparison to the NARS orgasm/laguna duo. Once I got home I swatched them side by side and noticed that the ELF bronzer and laguna bronzer are very similar, but personally, I wouldn't consider the ELF blush to be a dupe for orgasm. I would say they are somewhat similar, but not enough to be a dupe. The packaging sure is though... Anyway, I adore this product, especially for $3. I use the blush almost daily and just recently hit pan and I'd say I've had this product for about 4 months, maybe a little longer. Only con I have about this product is that the bronzer is a little too dark for my skin tone, so I wish they had other options, but it's pretty easy to work with.

    For the price, this product is the absolute rave!! I remember when I first bought this just to try out, but didn't really have huge expectations. But for the 3 dollars i paid, i have to say that this product is AMAZING. It's almost the same shade as my NARS orgasm!!

    The quality is quite good, although not as smooth as the other blushes i own, it does a great job.

    For $3.00 (plus taxes and S&H;) this bronzer/blush is a great deal. I love the concept of this palette- having both bronzer and blush in one so contouring is easily done. Or you can use either/or which makes it a great value product.

    What I didn't like was that I found sometimes the powder didn't brush on the way I wanted it too- it was too concentrated in some areas or not enough in others, it doesn't blend that easily. I would have also liked a larger or thicker set, since I used this one fairly quickly.

    I really like the compact the product comes in; it's a sleek and elegant black case. In my experience, both the blush and bronzer are easy to apply because they are finely milled. Also the blush and bronzer has a natural color with a hint of shimmer. FYI, the blush appears to be more shimmery than the bronzer. They are lightweight, easy to build up color (if necessary), and blend well into the skin. Personally the products are highly pigmented and long-lasting (i.e. they don't fade or wear off for at least 8 hours). I think they are suitable for all skin types.

    I lightly brush on the bronzing power in the hollows of my cheeks (i.e. under cheekbones), and jaw line in order to create for definition. Or I use the blush on the apple of my cheeks and a quick dusting on my forehead to create a warm healthy glow. I highly recommend the Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder. I am planning to repurchase this product.
