e.l.f. Disney: Ariel Collection! Bronzed Beauty

I did not get everything from this line, even though I definitely wanted to, but I absolutely love what I did get.  I will start off by saying that I did not buy some things to ever be used, I am adding them to my collection for collective purchases for the Disney lover inside me! 
These can be purchased at select Walgreens, which is where I found mine, but I definitely suggest that you go to the Walgreens website first and see if they are at your local store because they weren't at every Walgreens in my area.  On to the swatches! 
The bronzer in this is very pretty.  It isn't really marbleized but has two different tones in it that can be used separately. I would find it hard to use the gold portions separately for the face because they aren't large enough to comfortably fit a face brush in it and solely get that color.  
I was able to do that with my fingers though for swatch purposes.  On the right is the brown alone.  It shows up as a more cool toned brown on my skin but in the pan it looks very warm.  The middle is the two together, as it would appear on the skin after swirled with a brush. Swirled together the color looks more champagne.  On the right is the gold alone.  All three are very shimmery.  I would not recommend contouring with this because it isn't very matte but would look nice as a highlighter for medium to dark skin tones and a nice all over bronzer for light to medium skin tones.
The brush is not very good.  I'm very surprised because some of my favorite brushes are from e.l.f. The shape does not make it very comfortable to use, it is very flat, but not in a good way.  It is also very scratchy! I would not put this on my face, I feel like it would irritate my skin and break me out.   Aesthetically, it could also be cuter for the collection.  I don't have any good things to say about this brush.
Overall, I like the bronzer and don't like the brush.  This retails for $4.99.  The bronzer is definitely worth that!  I also think that this would be a good gift for Disney Lovers to collect or as a good starter for younger girls just getting into makeup.
Feel free to ask any questions or make any comments.
I have reviewed other pieces of the collection here and here.
