Dupe It | Nars Orgasm

Hello everyone! This is going to be the first of a series of posts in a section I'm entitling 'Dupe It' in which - as the name suggests - I share with you dupes for higher end, cult products! Todays dupe is going to be on the infamous Nars - Orgasm blusher.

As described by Nars themselves, Orgasm is a peachy pink shade with beautiful, gold glitter running through it. These powders are finely-milled and give a beautiful, natural flush of colour to the cheeks that is easy to blend and build up if wanted. This is a cult classic and is a shade adored by many - I can definitely see why.

The dupe that I have for you is from Sleek - who in fact offer multiple dupes for this particular shade. The one that I have comes in their Face Form palette - the palette itself is in the shade Fair. 

In terms of how similar these blusher's are, the Sleek is definitely more on the peachier side (in the pan at least) though when blended into the skin it definitely looks closer to Orgasm.
Both however have that iconic gold running through it which is arguably what Orgasm is so well loved for. The Sleek blush blends and wears beautifully - it is not quite as finely milled as the Nars but for me, that's not a massive issue.

I think this definitely a worthwhile dupe to try - the palette retails at £9.99 providing you with not 1, but 3 products all in one in the form of a highlighter and contour shade as well as of course, the blush.  The Nars blusher on the other hand retails at around £23.00 so you can definitely see the difference in price.

If you're looking to try Orgasm but don't want to splash the cash just yet, I'd definitely opt for this awesome dupe first which might just change your mind!

WHERE TO BUY:

Nars Orgasm | £23.00

Nude'tude

Hi everyone! This is going to be a fairly short post sharing with you an awesome purchase that I recently made. It was such a good deal that I wanted to share it - after using it more, I'll then be sure to provide an in-depth review on it!

So, the product in question is theBalm's 'Nude-Tude' eyeshadow palette! I found this beauty at TkMaxx for half price taking it from £30.00 to a bargain £14.99 so I knew I had to get it. It also comes with a cute little sample size of their eyelid primer 'Put a Lid On it'. As the name suggests, this a nude palette containing a nice mixture of light and bold colours rating from shimmer finishes to matte ones. There's a nice variation within the palette based on my first impressions and I absolutely love the vintage inspired packaging!

As I mentioned, you can grab this palette from TkMaxx - I got it a few days ago so if you're fast enough, there should be some left! If this kind of palette is your cup of tea, I'd definitely go grab yourself a bargain!

REVIEW | Makeup Revolution Blushing Hearts Blusher - Peachy Pink Kisses

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to give you a first impressions of a Makeup Revolution Blushing Hearts blusher than my lovely friend Tanith of Things Tanith Did picked up for me!

The shade I received is Peachy Pink Kisses - one which we'd both been searching for high and low in Superdrug but could never find in stock. The first thing I really love about this blush so far is the packaging which is clearly inspired by the Too Faced Sweetheart blushes - it's very pretty and ultra girly - good packaging is always something I appreciate in a makeup product!

The blush itself is triple baked - a formulation I always love in blushes as I find them to be really blendable and pigmented. This blush is - as the name suggests - a light peachy coral shade with three colours in it. The first two colours in the blush on me are more like highlighters with the third being the one with that has the peachy colour to it. Due to it being more highlight-y and shimmery because it's a baked formulation, I really love to layer this one top of a powder blush that is a similar but deeper shade and it really adds a beautiful glow to it.

Overall, I really love this blush so far and I think it's going to be a particularly lovely shade for the Summer and definitely one for those of you with lighter skin tones. For £4.99 from either Superdrug or Makeup Revolution's website, I really don't think you can go wrong!

Have you ever tried these blushes?
