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?

Drugstore/Superdrug Haul ft Bourjois cream blush ♥

Hello Ladies!!!

Well well well...



So today I did some damage in Superdrug, if your not from the UK Superdrug is basically a British drugstore. They had a lovely 3 for 2 offer on and I just had to take advantage of it, so I picked up a few things I had seen on the blogosphere.

Left to right: Exxxaggerate, Mystic, Heartbreaker, Papaya Punch.

As you can see I went a bit lipstick mad, but I just love Sleek lipsticks!! Earlier this year they brought out some new colours and I wanted to try them out. Sleek tend to have some pretty funky colours and for £4.99 its a good way to experiment with more exciting colours before indulging in the likes of Mac or YSL. 



I thought I'd get some things from Bourjois, I never used to pay that much attention to Bourjois but after hearing rave reviews about their products I started to try some things and I must say they are slowly becoming my favourite drugstore brand. I got the Delice de poudre bronzing powder to contour with. I usually use my Sleek contour kit but I find that its a little too dark for everyday contouring so I got the lightest shade in 51. I also picked up the Queen Attitude Khol Kajal as I actually don't own a black khol eyeliner. 




Next I picked up the highlighting pen from collections as I have heard essiebutton talk about this and wanted to give it a go as I have never tried a highlighting pen before. I love my Maybelline  colour tattoos, I think they are amazing as either an eye shadow base or on their own and they are the easiest thing to apply in the world! I also picked up one of the new Barry M sequin effect nail polishes in snp1, it reminds me of ice cream and summer I will be applying this to nails tonight. Lastly I picked up one of the new Bourjois cream blushes, I got the shade sweet cherry 04 it is said to give healthy glow and enhance all complexions. I will be putting this claim to the test in the next week or so, if you would like a full review on these cream blushes let me know. 



Hope you liked my little haul post : )
