Ever wanted to get a hold of the NARS Orgasm/Laguna Blush & Bronzer Duo but hesitated to shell out the $39? Dying to achieve that healthy glow - all year round? This is where ELF's Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder comes in.
Don't be fooled by the picture. That is indeed ELF's product, although the colors and even packaging (including mirror) are identical to NARS'. Here's the kicker, ELF's is a FRACTION of the price! Can you believe it? Three lovely smackeroos for a dead on NARS dupe!
For those who aren't familiar with the NARS duo i'm referring to, it is a highly coveted and hyped blush and bronzer compact that provides the most universally flattering shades to compliment any skin tone. Orgasm (the blush... get your minds out of the gutter!) is a peachy pink hue with golden shimmer and Laguna (the bronzer) is a warm natural looking tan with a hint of shimmer.
Okay sure, there's a teeny weensy catch. NARS' Orgasm is slightly more of a pinker hue than ELF's (in the pan at least). ELF's shimmer factor is also more subdued, yet still provides that beautiful glow that we all crave. Needless to say, the similarity is clearly evident. Well, it's enough for me and my burnt out wallet to give NARS the boot, at least.
So, ELF's duo is cheaper by a landslide, and the color payoff is about two times more pigmented than its opponent. (With that being said, it should be applied with a slightly lighter hand.) It lasts all day and does everything the NARS duo can do but better. I think it's clear who the winner is here. Oh and for the record, I am in NO way endorsed by ELF.
