(blushed/bronzed)

1st lets talk about packaging. I love it. I love its matte black color (this is from their studio collection) I love that it comes with a mirror in its compact this isn't very common for a blush/bronzer. The mirror makes it easier when your on the go and don't have the time to carry a separate mirror or use your powder compact mirror like i used to do. Also, not to trash drug store items but don't these usually look cheap? this one doesn't at all and i love it!
Now lets talk about the actual product, i love the colors!, they are absolutely perfect for my skin tone. However this isn't a very universal compact, the bronzer and the blush together will probably work better on darker skin tones more in the caramel/tan color (i use studio fix powder from M.A.C nc42 to give you an idea). The blush will most likely work on any skin tone if applied correctly. Lets talk about the bronzer, it definitely wont work as a bronzer. Its way to dark, i like to use this as a contouring powder. Even for contouring its a bit dark on my skin tone so i use very little and i find that it blends very well. Lets talk about texture, the blush its a bit powdery not too much but be careful to not waste too much product your brush will pick up a bit too much! the bronzing powder has more of a velvety texture and you wont have this issue. After all i find this to be a good product, its very well worth its price, at only $3 you cant really beat that!

What do you think about this product?
