Review: ELF Natural Radiance Blush in Bronze

How are you doing, lovelies?

I'm sitting on my bed now, on a Sunday afternoon and sipping milk and having my cereals. It's such a lovely Sunday [though I haven't checked the weather] and maybe it's even better from my end because it's a no-work day tomorrow, it being the National Heroes' Day.

My review for today is focused on another blush I've had for months now. I've never done a review because as you know, I keep on using my HG blush all the time :x.

ELF [Eyes Lips Face] says:

This exquisite, delicate, pigment payoff makes cheeks radiant combined with a healthy-looking glow. Infused with texturizing agents, skin feels smooth and pores are minimized.
Directions:
Gently place finger-tip into bottom groove and pull sliding compartment open. To Apply: Brush gently over powder, tap excess powder off brush and blend into apples of cheek.

I initially bought this last summer because I thought I wanted a more summery look but never really used it extensively. These past few days, I switched to this just to see how it fares and here's my humble review about it.

What I liked about it:

Inexpensive at Php 129.00. This is cheaper in the US, though, selling for only USD 1.00.
No breakouts for the week I was using it.
Available everywhere -- and I mean really everywhere. I'm seeing ELF products at all SM branches, Watson's, even The Ramp and at BF Ruins, too!
Color payoff is good. One would need a very light hand in applying this, otherwise, one would look like she was punched.
Product has the right amount of shimmers.

What I did not like about it:

Messy. Real, real messy. Just look at the photo and you'd know.
As I've said, while color payoff is good, I need a light hand for this --- something I don't have.
Can't use this for contouring [as some bronzers can be used for this purpose] because there are shimmers.
Compact is not of every good quality but for its price, it's forgivable.
Why is it double the price here in the Philippines? Still forgivable, though.
Does not last very long. I had to retouch after 3 hours.

Here's a photo of me from last night and a close up my cheek.
