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.

I was first drawn to this product because it is very comparable to the Nars laguna/orgasm duo. I really like keeping this bronzer/blush duo in my purse. It's perfect for touch-ups on the go, and comes with a huge mirror for such a handy compact. I am fair-skinned, and although this product goes on strongly pigmented on the first application, the bronzer and the blush are both easily blendable to create a flawless glowy look.The only problem I have with this product is the shimmer. I have oily skin and I try to stay away from shimmery products because I feel like they enhance the natural oils in my skin and make me look totally slicked. I can handle the shimmer in this product because it isn't too overwhelming, but I would rather prefer a matte product.
Otherwise, I think this is a great product! It's the perfect item to keep in your on-the-go makeup bag

I cannot live without this duo, I use it every single day for my daily routine and absolutely love the color payoff, in addition to this palette only being $3! You can get it on eyeslipsface.com, but also Target and some Kmarts will sell some ELF products. Many compare this palette to the NARS orgasm/laguna duo, so if I can have something similar for only a fraction of the price, sign me up! :)

I purchased this product a few weeks ago, and it has been my go to makeup item ever since! Even if I'm having one of those lazy days, i still will apply this to my cheeks just to give myself a touch of color. I didn't think it would be as good as it was, because it was only a dollar at my local target. It's extremely pigmented and goes on great! The colors really go well together. I love this combination, i will most definitely be re purchasing this item!

Have you been lusting over a NARS blush or bronzer but couldn't bring yourself to shell out the cash for it? Well, Beauties!!!! Do I have great news for you! A too-close-for-comfort dupe to the infamous NARS Orgasm/Laguna duo has been born - thanks to E.L.F.

You be the judge! Simply looking at the 2 compacts side-by-side gives the illusion that the shades are quite different. But wait! Check out the swatches in this post. Nars' orgasm has a tad bit more gold in it. But other than that...it's a darn good dupe! I shelled out $40 in pretty ones for the Nars duo which, trust me, I really do enjoy. But I'd rather spend $3 and get the same great color combination. Unless you are truly a "name brand junky" and adore the chicness of that NARS compact (I'm so guilty of this), then go for it. It's a hot combination that fits just about everybody. If you're only concerned with achieving that healthy and youthful glow to your cheeks and could careless about the brand - go grab this e.l.f. compact pronto.


PROS:
lasts, lasts, lasts
$3!
great dupe for NARS
great pigments
blends nicely

CONS:
none

I bought this product after reading various rave reviews on its pigmentation and likeness to Nars' Laguna/Orgasm Duo. E.L.F. was also having a promotion at the time for 50% off everything, so I snagged two of these for only $1.50 USD each.

When it arrived, I noticed the striking similarities between this and the Nars Duo. It's packaged in a matte black compact with a mirror and a plastic cover over the palette. I suggest keeping the plastic film over the powder as there can be quite a bit of fallout. Other than that, the formula is phenomenal. I bought this during the summer and it looked fabulous on my tanned skin. The bronzer is perfect for contouring the face, and the blush is a shimmery coral-pink that compliments my yellow-toned skin. I've used this every day since receiving it and it's looked good even as my tan faded for winter.

Application is quick and easy, but becareful if you have fair skin as the colours are extremely pigmented. It only takes a dab of the bronzer with my powder brush to give me a visible contour on my cheeks. The blush usually takes a few more sweeps of my brush, but it might just be that I put a lot on. ;D

I'd recommend this product to anyone. It's cheap, easy to apply, and has great colour payoff. I think the colours are universally flattering, and would look good on almost anyone. It is one of the best beauty purchases I've made.
