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.
