Hellos!
Since I’m feeling hardworking nowadays, hence decided to create a Comparison 101 entries whereas comparing two similar products and determining
which really reigns *in my opinion* of
course~
First
off, let me lay down the two bronzers I have been using these few days for the purpose

2) ELF Bronzing Powder in Sta.Lucia Price: USD 3
Product Claims:

Contours cheek bones for beautiful definition

My
mom is not a make-up savvy
person, so I made her choose which one does she thinks look nicer and have that
“slimmer effect”. PS: She doesn’t know anything
about NARS or ELF nor which one is much expensive etc

Comment from Mom
|
Mom’s Take
|
On
Swatches
|
My
mom clearly pointed the NARS Laguna over the ELF Bronzer and the comment she
made was the powder look more fine and
smooth on my wrist
|
NARS
Laguna shade look better compared to ELF. The comment she made for the ELF is
the shade doesn’t look that natural for my skintone
|
When
Applied on Face
|
My
mom said that my features look much prominent and have that slimmer effect
instantly on NARS Laguna
|
My
mom comment when I use ELF is it does define my face but not the slimmer kind
of way
|
On
Packaging
|
Velvet
packaging wowed my mom’s preference more
|
She
definitely chose NARS packaging over ELF
|
Some
Swatches and Photos for your reference: **click to enlarge**
- I know NARS
is way EXPENSIVE than the ELF Bronzer but for those who shares the same
dilemma as I do which is ROUND, CHUBBY and FAT face.
This would be a great investment and definitely worth the price!
- Cheat to a
more skinnier face using NARS LAGUNA
That’s
it for my first post of the Comparison
101 review~

you find it helpful and if there’s anything you wanted me to do a comparison
on, please share on the comment below~
I’ll
try my best to do them ^_~
Next
Comparison 101 would be Maybelline HyperCurl VS AVON Curlacious
Stay
tuned on it~
