I thought for this very first proper post I would talk blush.
When I first started watching youtube bloggers and reading blogs there was this little hysteria about NARS blush which I hadn't ever been aware of before! Being the little follower that I am, I jumped on http://au.strawberrynet.com/main.aspx straight away and without a huge amount of consideration bought my very first NARS blush, in the colour Mounia.
As you can now see above, it is a deep burgandy colour with quite a lot of shimmer. Potential with my dark colouring you heard me say...
This is where I was wrong...
IT IS HORRIFIC
Applies like war paint, so heavily pigmented, even the lightest dusting (with every different brush I own) applies in little striped lines...
So I became a NARS (un)fan, and continued to hear all the bloggers and youtubers rave about NARS orgasm, and NARS laguna.
Until yesterday when I was having a little browse of Zoella's blog:
and it recommended me to read:
...where Zoella goes on to say that the $4.99AUD Lacura blush in Sunset is a dupe for NARS orgasm.
I live right across the road from an ALDI supermarket which stocks Lacura, and I have dappled in their facewash and facewipes before, but never even considered their makeup.
On my way home from uni today I popped in thinking it would be just my luck that this store didn't carry it...but alas it did.
I am now the proud owner of a very lovely dupe of NARS orgasm , although I still plan on saving my pennies and maybe one day buying the real thing :)
