NARS Blush-Bronzer Duo

It's extremely hard to find the perfect blush and bronzer which exactly match your skin and gives you a radiant glow.

But not anymore.

NARS Blush- Bronzer Duo is a blush and bronzer all in one product!

This Blush-Bronzer Duo is $41 from the NARS makeup website online. BARGAIN! A blush and bronzer for $41 altogether!

It is available in two shades: Orgasm/Laguna and Skin/Casino:
  • Orgasm/laguna has a pinky blush with a lightish tan coloured bronzer.
  • Skin/Casino is a little more bold with a purpley blush and a darkish tan coloured bronzer.
Each shade is perfect for every one's skin type, as all you have to do to find the perfect shade is mix the blush and bronzer together! Maybe you'd like a pinkish blush one day, and the following day a more sutle brownish blush... Well its now all possible with this one NARS Blush-Bronzer Duo.

I have this Blush-Bronzer Duo in Orgasm/Laguna and it is amazing! It is by far my favourite blush and bronzer and it is so easy to apply! Definitely purchase this one, it is a makeup essential!

For even more of a flawless look, I use the Sigma F40 large contour brush and slightly brush the product along my cheeks and then blend it out. Perfect. A healthy glow to my cheeks and a new shade everyday!

That's all for my review on NARS Blush-Bronzer Duo. Check back later for even more makeup reviews!

Napoleon Blush Patrol

Blush PatrolI love Napoleon's Blush Patrol because it has an amazing swirled design, creating a beautiful and unique blend of blush colour each time I apply it! If I want a darker blush, I rub my brush into the darker colour more. And if I want a subtle blush, I rub my brush into the lighter colour more! Every combination is different, which is what makes this product so unique!

Napoleon Blush Patrol has lasted me 2 years now and it barely looks like I even used any!! I only need to use a tiny amount on my blush because it's so pigmented!



As for the price...$60? WELL WORTH THE PRICE!! If you think about how long it will take to use the whole pan, you will realise just how much a bargain this product is!

But be warned to use it with a good quality blush brush and to not use too much because then it will look cakey! (Let's face it, NO ONE wants cakey makeup!) I use a Nude by Nature or Sigma Kabuki brush, depending on which ones are in cleaning. Angled brushes also work perfectly for blush as well!

Nude by Nature Virgin Blush



Now, I 'm sure you all want to know which blush is the one for you. Be it pinky, earthy or even a classic 'tan' glow on your cheeks.

Nude by Nature have a blush which they call the Virgin Blush.

PROS:
This blush lasts a very long time and is a natural pinky colour. It is a pigmented powder which can easily be applied with a range of brushes from Nude by Nature's line (personally I use the Kabuki brush just to give a slight rosey look on my cheeks) or any other makeup brushes which you love. Angled brushes work perfectly for applying powdered blush!

CONS:
Because the Nude by Nature foundation is such light coverage, I don't feel the need to apply this blush because the redness from my cheeks is already shinning through the foundation! Possibly, it can add an extra glow to my cheeks, if I'm going for a little more 'rosey' look. But, this blush really isn't my favourite and I probably won't buy it again. The packaging is also a little messy because it spills everywhere (and I mean everywhere!) You can give it a try, as it's only around $17!
