Remember my review about the elf blush which I thought to be a Nars Orgasm dupe? I have mentioned on that post that I will be trying a darker shade to give it some justice so I decided to get and review the elf Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder. It comes in a palette with similar design but this one’s a bit bigger and it comes with two shades. The first shade is a Counturing Blush while the other one is a Bronzer.
Though the shades I picked this time is a bit darker, it doesn’t have much color payoff too. It doesn’t have much pigmentation but it definitely gives a bit more color payoff than the blush I recently reviewed. I just don’t think that the blush is okay for contouring since it has way too many shimmers in it too, same as with the bronzer. The bronzer, however, gives an awesome color payoff though a bit chalky but you can make it work.
Though it didn’t make it up to me expectations, I can still use it as a blush when I mix the two colors together and if I want a glowy look.
elf Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder:
So, will I try another shade? I’d probably say pass just because I am not impressed with the first two and I feel like the elf Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder and the elf Studio Blush only have the same formulation. These two products were a miss for me but I’m sure there’s still a lot of good products from elf. I am inlove with their elf Studio Matte Lipstick and the elf Eyebrow kit! 🙂
Sad to hear that it isn't worth to try.
Anyways I love their brown kit, have you tried it ?

You mean their eyebrow kit? Yup, I loved that too! I actually have a detailed review on that one too! 🙂
Yup it's on point in saying what it does but wouldn't recommend this if you're a beginner. I suggest you get something better especially if you have a budget 🙂
I've heard so much about the Brand Elf but have never personally purchased anything from there, I thin I'll hold on for a little longer haha ♥

Look lovely! Reminds me so much of NARS design wise in this shot.
I have tried a couple of ELF products and they are quite nice, I'll have to re-visit.
Great post 🙂

It definitely is Whitney! I am on the hunt too. This is such an exciting hunt though! 😀
You should try out their matte lipsticks and eyebrow kit. It's worth it! 🙂
Thank you Laura! I always want to own a Nars palette because of their packaging. It looks so classy! But I have to save for that first! 🙂
They are quite cheap but kind of a hit or miss. Anyways, they still have a lot of promising product like the eyebrow kit and their matte lipstick 🙂
You're welcome Lily! If you haven't tried out their eyebrow kit and their matte lipstick. I'd suggest you get those. They are super great and so affordable too 🙂
Also have this one in Turks and Caicos! 🙂
