Dupes? Bobbi Brown Pale Pink vs. ELF Pink Passion

When I was first introduced to bright pink blushes I thought "no way!" and imagined it would give me those very exaggerated bright pink doll cheeks.  I'm here to tell you that is not the case at all.  Don't get me wrong, you can easily overdo the application of this color of blush (or any color really) but if you use a light hand, a bright pink blush really gives life to your face.

I have heard many times on You Tube that ELF's Pink Passion is a dupe for Bobbi Brown's Pale Pink.  I had both and figured I would swatch them and compare, then share with you for you to ultimately decide.

As you can see Bobbi Brown's Pale Pink is definitely much more brighter and has some fuschia in it while ELF's Pink Passion is more of a light (but bright) babydoll pink.  I don't consider these dupes at all.  To me a dupe is two (or more) products that do the same thing and/or look almost identical to where you can't notice a difference.  I can clearly see the difference in both these colors.  

I think what I will do is film a more in depth video on the two blushes on my You Tube Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/PrissyandPink so that I can share how long they wear, preferred application, quality, what brushes I use, etc.  For now I think showing you the swatches alone will help answer the question as to whether or not they are dupes.

Do you own either of these and do YOU think they're dupes?  Let me know, I love hearing from you.
