So I was all giddy and excited to re-purchase my "orgasm/laguna" duo, but the website got my order wrong!
Just like a kid at Christmas I opened the parcel with great excitement, and it was the "orgasm/south beach" cream multiple duo :(. I checked my order and I had done it correctly, but they sent me the wrong thing! Now I'm undecided, do I return what I brought and send it all the way back to France or just try to learn to embrace cream blushers? I must be honest, I'm a bit of a numpty when it comes to cream blushers, I just cant get them to blend right, any suggestions are welcome!
The multiple can be used on the eyes, lips and cheeks for different effects, but due to the poor quality of this product no matter how much I applied or where I applied it neither shades showed up. It wasnt even worth a photograph! The consistency was so thin and greasy and the colour just wasn't as pigmented as you would expect from Nars. Although the website does describe the product as "sheer", what's the point in spending money on a high end brand if you cant even see the product when applied!
Although one thing I was excited to play with was the mini "striptease" and "dolce vita" lipglosses. In terms of consistency, they are perfect. I like lipglosses to be kissable! I always find myself wiping off lipgloss so that I dont cover my boyfriend in a sticky gooey mess. But these glosses are soft but still look lovely and shiny.
Dolce vita is a pretty dusky rose, and is very much my cup of tea. Due to my fair colouring, I prefer to have a dark pink or red lip colour, otherwise I look completely washed out. I find myself looking to put this on now before I go to work so definatly going to repurchase this.
Hehe ignore the pile of washing in the background, I have time for blogging not for cleaning :).
Striptease for me was never going to be "the one", but I love the gold shimmer that reflects beautifully under certain lights. Its probably the first "nude" I've found wearable. Its long lasting and definitely worth buying if you like a nude lip. Below I have worn striptease with gosh darling. See what I mean about the washed out effect, I look asleep!
Tell me about your recent Nars purchases!
Much love x x x
That sucks they sent you the wrong thing! I have heard that the multiple duo's aren't as good quality as the original multiples! I have recently got Orgasm Bronzer and the Orgasm Blush and I love them both! They would both look great on your skintone :D
ReplyDeleteIf i was you, i would contact them and ask them to send to the correct order.At the end of the day it was THEM who made the mistake, so you might aswell ask them :)

ReplyDelete@ Vivianna - Oh is the real multiples meant to be much better quality?
ReplyDelete@Olenka - Thank youuuu!
Yehh I had to return it, I just can't collect anymore unused beauty products, thank god for makeupalley!!!
Yeah I guess they have to use a slightly different formula cause of the different packaging, I've heard that the stick multiple is much easier to blend :)
