Eyes Lips Face Contouring & Bronzing Powder in St. Lucia

I haven't bought anything from ELF for a little while, but last time I did I purchased the Contouring & Bronzing Powder in the shade St. Lucia and somehow it got tucked away in my makeup collection and never used! I found it the other day and as the weather is warming up (a little bit!) I thought I would try it out, needless to say I am in love with it! My Nars Laguna will always be a staple in my makeup collection, but this is just a fantastic product. It's so pigmented and, it's great to have a bronzer and a blush duo, so if I'm travelling I have both in one and it's small and lightweight. The mirror is also a great addition as it's really large. I have been using this for the past few days and it gives a great "sun kissed" glow. You have to be slightly careful, as the bronzer is so pigmented it would be easy to over apply, so less is more. I found it slightly difficult to blend it can take a while to create a natural bronzed effect. The blush is a peachy pink with shimmer, it's lovely for everyday wear. The bronzer has shimmer too but it's hardly noticeable once it's applied.

The packaging is matte black, and feels sturdy for the price. At £3.95 you can't really complain, and this is a great dupe for the Nars bronzer and blusher duos. I will definitely be wearing this over Spring and Summer, although because you have to apply sparingly I don't ever see myself using this up! I will have to try a couple of the other duos too!
Have you used these ELF duos before? Which is your favourite?
