Dupe: W7 Double Act for Benefit's Perfect 10.

I always find it helpful when people tell me about dupes for expensive makeup items. Benefit's Box Powder in Perfect 10 is quite an unusual product; it consists of a bronzer and a light pink highlighting/blush colour. It retails at a rather startling £23.50! The WV alternative/dupe is called Double Act and retails at different prices, depending on where you buy it. There are a few discount makeup websites that stock it such as faithcosmetics and shop4makeup. It's also avaliable on Ebay and Amazon. I have seen some W7 in New Look stores before too and occasionally in NEXT Clearance. Now for the review! :

The packaging is sturdy but not as good/durable as the Benefit box.

You get a little applicator brush with it, just like you do with the Benefit Box Powders.

The bronzer side is very shimmering and the pink is matte.

The bronzer, as I said, is very shimmering, but looks lovely on the cheeks. The highlighting/blusher pink is quite powdery but nicely pigmented.

The bronzer is incredibly pigmented and the pink is also a really nice colour.

Overall I really like this product. I don't own the Benefit original but from swatches at a Benefit counter, I can say that the bronzer in Perfect 10 is a lot less shimmering has little, if ANY glitter in it, unlike this dupe. The pink in Perfect 10 is also more pigmented and a lot less powdery. Benefit actually say that the bronzer is to be used as a 'contour' so the W7 alternative really doesn't work for that purpose as it's waaay to shimmering to use as a good contour powder, however it makes for a nice, regular bronzer.

Have you tried Benefit's Perfect 10? Is it worth me picking up?

Thanks for reading! :)
