NARS Duo: Laguna and Orgasm Review

Hi Guys! 

So I am probably the last blogger in the world to hop on to the amazing band wagon of NARS products but better late than never! This is a NARS Duo with a Laguna bronzer and an Orgasm blush. I got it at Sephora for 41 dollars. I've heard really good things about both products and I didn't want to buy the big one of each for $32 dollar so I decided with the duo to start with. Honestly I'm glad I got the duo because its great for travel.

Packaging: I love how the NARS packaging looks. It looks really expensive (which it is) and sleek. Also I love how large the mirror in it is. However, the rubberish material attracts all the dirt in the world. I keep it in a separate zipper section in my purse when I travel because I hate how dirty it gets but I can get over this issue because of how wonderful the product is. 

Laguna Bronzer: 
Color: Laguna looks a lot more intense in the pan than it really it. It is a very natural bronze color. You can't really see in the pan but in the swatch you can see that it has some nice shimmer to it but it isn't overwhelmingly shimmer. 
Formula: The formula of Laguna is probably my favorite thing about it. It goes on so smoothly and easily. It blends really is and never leaves your face looking muddy or heavy. 

Pigment: The pigment of this bronzer isn't the greatest but because it's so buildable it works out fine. I like this more for an all over the face bronze look but if you're looking for a contouring bronzer, there are better ones out there. 
Finish: I am actually in love with the finish of this. It gives you a healthy glow that isn't shiny. I use it all over my face after putting on my Benefit Hello Flawless foundation but before my Rimmel Stay Matte powder. You can still see the glow through the powder and it just looks so nice!
Orgasm Blush:
Color: Orgasm is a beautiful subtle pinky peach color with gold shimmers in it. The gold shimmer aren't overwhelming and give your cheeks a nice happy glowy look. They aren't chunky which is amazing because I hate blushes and bronzer with huge chunks of shimmer in them that just looks cheap. 
Formula: The blush formula is very similar to the bronzer. It is smooth and blendable which is amazing! I love when you don't have to fight with the product to get it to go on your face. 
Pigment: The pigment of Orgasm is amazing. I honestly only need one swipe across my cheek and that's it! It is more on the sheer side of the spectrum but I think it looks so much better sheer than when you try to build it up. 
Finish: Orgasm gives you a very natural looking cheek with a hint of shimmer. I think it is especially lovely for summer time when you want to look sun kissed. 
Overall, I think they are both great and I can see why they are beauty blogger cult products! 
Have you tried them out? What did you think? Lots of love, 

Summer Face Make up Essentials Mini Hual

Hi Guys!

So today was payday! Woot my favorite type of day because this means I get to treat myself to a few things. I have been waiting for my skin to get to its fullest tan before I went and bought any more skin products. This is because I hate having awkward in between colors/tones and I never know when to use them and often I just forget about them. Also I feel like picking out bronzers and blushes when you're already tan is a lot easier than thinking about which would look good tan. I picked up two items and I am so excited to use them!

Benefit's Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Liquid Foundation was calling my name! I like using light/medium coverage foundations in the summer with SPF in them. I work at a pool and I just spend a lot of time outside so SPF is really important and full coverage foundation just makes my skin feel heavy in the summer.  The Hello Flawless foundation has all of this plus so much more. It has SPF 25 in it and is a light foundation that hydrates. It hits all the marks and the box it comes in is very cute (Benefit always has to cutest boxes)! Also it came with a free sample of the POREfessional primer which I am excited to try. I've heard awesome things about this primer so getting a free sample in the box was a great surprise.

The second item I got was the NARS Blush/Bronzer Duo in Orgasm and Laguna. I am very late on this band wagon but hey better late than never! The NARS Blush is Orgasm and Bronzer in Laguna are two of the most raved about products in the blogging/youtubing world. To be honest, I can not think of one time that someone had something bad to say about this. This has put my expectations really high for this duo and I hope it does not disappoint! I think it is going to look really good on my summer tan! 
Have you tried either of this? What did you think? 
So rumor has it that Google Reader is going away so upset! But be sure to follow me on Bloglovin' to keep up with my posts!
