Just a quick "sharing", I struggle with applying bronzers and I don't have that much experience with bronzer because I find it hard to contour my face since it's really, really round. My first ever bronzer was NYC's bronzer in the shade of Sunny and I thought that it was really light for my Filipina-Morena complexion. Whenever try to play with it and apply it on my face it's not that obvious. Same thing with the Rimmel one, again it's too light and it's really hard to see if I actually contoured my face. So I am hoping that with the bronzer that came in this duo, it it will be different. So let's get started with the review.
Product description:
- Create a healthy and natural glow year-round
- The Blush highlights the cheeks to add a flush of color
- The Bronzer accents and contours cheekbones for beautiful definition
- Brush on the "bronze" to the hollow of the cheeks for definition and dust around the face line to create a healthy glow. Use the "blush" on the apple of the cheeks to create a subtle color.
*The product description and directions are stated at the back of the box.
The packaging for me is very simple and I think it's sturdy enough considering the price. It also has a decent sized mirror which I think is very convenient. There are no bulky, extra compartment compared to their other products which I think is good since you are getting exactly what you need-the blush and bronzer. You get to have 8g of products which if you divide, it will make each pan to be containing 4g of products each.

| A closer look. |
If you are going to look at it really close, you can actually see some fine gold reflex from the pan. Both of them has reflex but for the bronzer, I think it goes unnoticeable specially if you are applying it on the hollows of your cheeks. But the reflex from the blush stays noticeable even if you blend it out on your cheeks.
What I like about it:
- It's very pigmented. The bronzer is really pigmented, it's dark enough for my complexion. The blush is very subtle but it's okay. It actually does what it says on the packaging. It does highlight your cheeks.
- Light weight.
- The packaging is really compact and sturdy.
- Very affordable.
- Very powdery. The moment my brush touches the pan, even just a light tap, powder goes all over the place.
- Only one shade for the blush and bronzer. I actually wish that they will make different variety.
- Other than that, nothing more to complain.
