e.l.f. Contouring Blush & Bronzing cream

19. februar 2014


Hello my lovelies! I'm really sorry for not posting anything this past few days... I just couldn't get around it. :) I have a ton of posts to write, so be on the lookout - I might be posting every day. Anyhow... today I'm going to be talking about e.l.f's Contouring Blush & Bronzing Cream. I mentioned it in my 'January favorites' post and a lot of you said you'd like to know more about it.







I first saw this product on Sandra's blog (The Black Pearl Blog) and I fell in love with it right away. I hopped it would be good and when I finally got it, I was not disappointed. This is my first cream blush/bronzer and I have a feeling I'll be getting more of those soon. :)

The duo comes in the typical e.l.f. packaging that resembles Nars' packaging but isn't 'rubbery', it's just a smooth plastic case, which I prefer since it doesn't get dirty and you can clean it with ease. It's very sturdy and feels very secure so it's definitely travel friendly. 

The real magic however, is inside... Both the blush and bronzer are gorgeous. They have a very creamy formula that's also very pigmented (I was swatching Illamasqua cream blushes just yesterday and I can say that they are just a tad more pigmented and just a tad creamier). Now, high pigmentation might scare you at first, I know it scared me when I was swatching both. I though I would never be able to use them, I would end up looking like a clown. Fortunately both blend like a dream, seriously... even if you apply too much, you can still blend everything out, tone it down with some powder... and ta-da, you look like a million bucks. :D I really love how natural both of these look - the blush gives such a lovely color and healthy glow to your cheeks, the bronzer is great for contouring (I usually go over it with my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil to set it in place). I found that both of them last all day on me and don't 'move around', but I do set everything with a powder and a setting spray.





I apply both with a brush (haven't tried applying them any other way) - I use my RT Buffing brush to apply the blush and my RT Contour brush to apply the bronzer. The price is absolutely fantastic for such a great product - 4.51 € (on the UK site) and $3.00 (on the US site). The only downside is that this product is only available in one shade - St. Lucia. I really hope they come up with more shades or at least more shades of cream blushes. :)


So, what are your thoughts on this product? Have you tried it?

  1. Pa res noro dobro izgledata. Definitivno bo tole del naslednjega ELF naročila :)
    Aja, kateri čopič pa uporabljaš z bronzerjem? Ker sama kremna rdečila najraje s prsti nanašam, za contour pa verjetno rabiš čopič :)

    1. Res je super! :) Za nanos sem pa res pozabila napisat... jaz oboje nanašam s čopičem, s prsti še nisem probala. Za rdečilo uporabim RT Buffing brush, za bronzer pa Contour brush. :)

    1. Odtenek je St. Lucia - to je edini odtenek na voljo v kremni 'verziji'. :D
