I felt like I don't really need one since I "blush" almost all the time (literally, my face turns red!). So why bother, right? Oh how wrong was I.
NARS is one of those high-end brands that are quite famous because of a hyped product. I'm pretty sure most of us have heard (including the non-kikays) about the NARS Orgasm. I never understood why people would spend that much on a blush. That's what I thought until I actually tried one.

On the other hand, NYX has always been known for providing awesome dupes for high-end products, such as this:

Let's compare them :)

PACKAGING: NARS has a more sturdy case and a mirror to boot, while NYX is more compact and easier to tote around (at least for me).

SWATCHES: Orgasm is on the pinky side while Pinched is a bit on the coral side. But really, once it's on your skin without being too meticulous, you really can't tell which is which.
Both of them has a nice texture and they're both easy to blend.
AFFORDABILITY: Obviously, NYX bags this category.
You can purchase 4 NYX blushes with the price of a single NARS blush.
VERDICT: NARS Orgasm is really worth the hype. It's texture and shade are phenomenal.I believe it will compliment all skin tones. But, the same tune plays with NYX Pinched. As much as I adore Orgasm, I am honestly contented with what Pinched has to offer. Plus, it's not burning a hole in my pocket.
Yay for NYX! :)
So, which one would you buy??

Interesting. Think this will look okay with my skintone too? Also...Have you ever tried Milani Baked Blushes? They seem pretty nice too, and rather affordable. http://digitaltraincase.multiply.com/products/listing/10308/Milani_Baked_Blush

DeleteI could`ve sworn I commented here yesterday already. Anyhoo. Nars Orgasm has been on my beauty to-buy list for the longest time, but I won`t be making the purchase until I run out of my remaining blush (HUHLOLZ kurips). So do you agree that Nars Orgasm can suit most complexions? Does the same apply for Nyx Pinched? How about Milani Baked Blushes, have you ever tried those?
ReplyDelete"So do you agree that Nars Orgasm can suit most complexions?" YES, I do. It's in between pink and coral eh, though it's more on the pink side. It will suit everyone, depending on how much you put on.
Delete"Does the same apply for Nyx Pinched?" Yep! Same thing with Orgasm, it all depends on how and how much you apply it.
Right now, I'm also using Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso. It's lighter than Pinched and Orgasm. So far okay naman siya. Yun yung talagang shimmery na coral kung coral ang shade. I can post a review if you want. :)
