First Impression: Nars Orgasm & Sin Blush + Swatches

Hello everyone!

So I finally got my hands on some Nars blushes! After about 3 hours of looking as swatches online I decided to go with the infamous Orgasm and Sin.

                             


 Orgasm: is a pretty coral/pink blush with gold shimmer running through it, it is said that this shade suits all skin tones. I definitely think this is true because it just looks flattering on all different skin tones, I love how it adds definition to my cheek. It just adds a very healthy glow to my face, my friend even thought I had a facial done. Haha! RESULT!

Sin: is lovely berry shade with gold shimmer running through it. I think this one is a little harder to wear and it will look better as the months get colder and lipstick becomes darker. I cannot wait to wear this with a simple eye and Rebel lipstick by Mac!

L-R Sin, Orgasm 


                              

Overall I have extremely happy with both shades I bought, Orgasm being more wearable than Sin but still I am very pleased with the quality of the products. I am hoping to expand my Nars blush collection, any recommendation?

Favourites: August

Hello my lovlies! 

I am sure you have heard this a million times already BUT I cannot believe its august already! where has this year gone?! I do not know. However I can't wait because I love autumn/winter time.. hot chocolates, scarves, boots and dark lippy baby ;-) 


Lets jump right into my favourites for the past month: 

1. Crown brushes: Here I have the C405 Angle Contour Blush brush and the C441 Pro Blending Crease brush. I have been using these brushes to death this month. The contour brush is perfect for blush, contour or highlight and I have been using it for all three. The blending brush is incredibly soft and buffs out any harsh eyeshadow lines perfectly. I would highly recommend these brushes as they are very affordable and brilliant quality

2. Mac lipstick in patisserie: This is the perfect my lips but better lipstick, its a lustre finish so the colour pay off is only sheer. However since I have been working so much lately that's exactly what I have been wanting... and the smell!! DIVINE!! 

3. Benefits hoola bronzer: Again I have been loving this, however instead of using this to contour I have been using it to give myself an all over glow. Perfect for summer time! 

4. Benefits bella bamba: I am in love with Benefits boxed powders lately I own three but hoping to pick up some more. This one is a pretty pink shade with silver sheen running through it. It has been compared to Nars orgasm however I would say it is orgasms frosty sister, Its more blue toned. This has been perfect for adding a bit of life and definition to my face and because of the shimmer no need to highlight! Wooo! Also it smells great, honestly next time your near a counter smell it. LOL 

5. The Body Shop vitamin E day cream: This has been a staple in my skincare since February, it was perfect during winter to keep my skin hydrated and it still keeps my skin nice and plump during summer without being too heavy. I just love all of the vitamin E range from The body Shop.  

6. Ysl Touche eclat foundation: I have been loving this foundation ever since I used my points to buy it. I have done a more in depth review here

7. Garnier Eye roll on in medium: I use this product daily! It contains caffeine so it instantly wakes up the eye area up and okay coverage but I usually layer something over the top. The main thing I need this for is to reduce puffiness around my eyes and it does a great job! 

So there you have it guys my August favourites. Let me know what your favourites have been for the past month.
