Do you have Sex Appeal?

Now, if you follow me on twitter I'm sure you'll have noticed that I have been extremely excited about a certain package from Nars and it arrived today! I ordered 2 products the first of which I shall show you now.

It was a bit of a blind purchase as I was intending to buy "Deep Throat" (oh Nars...) however it was sold out both on the Nars Website and ASOS so I purchased this one instead as it's just so pretty and I liked the look of it from the (few) online swatches I managed to find.

The blush is a matte peach with a hint of pink, it's quite chalky and extremely pale. It's a buildable colour, by no means sheer however I think this blush would only be suitable for those with pale skin (I for example am NC15 and it gives me a subtle glow). This is definitely a natural glow-y blush, something which makes you look healthy and radiant rather than providing you with a stand-out look.

I'm not sure if you can even see the swatch, it's such a pale blush that it was incredibly hard to capture on camera (I took about 20 pictures and this was the best of the bunch!)

Please excuse the disgrace that is my eyebrows :(

As you can see the blush translates a lot better on my face, the picture was taken with flash in order to try and give you a better idea of how it looks. I'm happy I bought this blush as it makes me look glow-y and healthy, something which isn't so easy when you're as pale as me! It's also the perfect blush for when you're doing a very stand out smokey eye or something similar as it's effect is extremely subtle. 

This blush costs £20.50 however if you buy Nars cosmetics of ASOS you're eligible to 10% student discount with a valid NUS card.

NARS Blush/Bronzer Trio - A must have!

Sorry for blurring out the mirror but there was a beautiful "up-the-nose" shot of me which I wasn't so keen on...

This compact is £39 and it contains Orgasm Blush (5g) Albatross Highlighting powder (2.7) and Laguna Bronzing powder (7.3g). The bronzer looks so scary in the pan doesn't it? It's actually a pretty pretty build-able colour.

The packaging is a hard compact with a material casing - matte black which after having literally only swatched the products has gotten dirty :( Boo Nars I like my make up clean! The compact closes with a zip which is quite handy. I just wish the packaging didn't attract so much dirt! Apart from that however I like Nars packaging, it doesn't stand out but it seems quite classy, like the grown up items of my make up collection (ie not pink/sparkly). 

Swatch time?

Top to Bottom: Laguna Bronzer, Orgasm Blush, Albatross Highlighter

You might be able to see from the swatches that each product has a hint of gold glitter which isn't completely obvious that it makes you look like a disco ball but it's very pretty in my opinion. All the colours compliment each other in the palette and it's great for someone wanting to try the products for the first time because separately the blush and highlighter would have cost £20.50 each and the bronzer £24 and although the products in the palette aren't full sized you get a very generous amount!

I'm really happy with this product and I'm sure it'll be one which I use regularly.
