Nars One Night Stand Review

Hii Lovelies!  

I'd been itching to post this review for some time now. This ended up being a Christmas pressie from my lovely Grandma, but I chose it so having to wait so long to get it was tough! Now as far as i can see this has sadly sold out in the UK online, but you may be able to pick it up in stores still so keep your eyes peeled!

This is my second blush palette from Nars as i fell in love with my gorgeous Danmari palette last year. It contains six shades; 4 blushes, a bronzer and a highlighter and has a repeat of last years palette in Orgasm. But as I've actually hit pan on my single Orgasm blush this doesn't bother me, i love the shade! I'm happy to see the inclusion of Laguna this year, another shade I've hit pan on because last year's palette had Casino which is much too dark for my pale complexion. 

It boasts six gorgeous shades including three of their best sellers Laguna, Orgasm and Deep Throat. I own and love the first two but was dying to try out Deep Throat and the other shades Devotee: a gorgeous pearly highlighter, Mistinguette: the rather frightening baby pink shade (it looks much nicer on the skin) and lastly Goulue: which to me is what you'd get if you mixed Sin and Orgasm... Winter perfection! 

 

As per usual Nars blushes do not disappoint, however as usual my swatches do not do it justice what so ever. I've been reaching for Goulue the most over the past few weeks, its just beautiful!

At £45 it is a bit of a splurge but well worth it if you're the type of person to never work through an entire blush. If you can get your hands on it i highly recommend picking this absolute beauty up!

Mini Fyrinnae Haul

 Ello lovelies!
So this really is a "mini" haul. Since I'm supposed to be a on no buy this was a little bit naughty *slaps wrists*, but i really couldn't resist.

If you've read my blog for a while you'll know i really am a huge fan of Fyrinnae products, and until recently had only tried their eye products. Well, that needed remedying didn't it?

My mini haul consists of a Lip Lustre, sample highlight, sample blush and a second blush as free sample. So with Fyrinnae's really reasonable shipping it really wasn't too naughty. Can you tell I'm really trying to convince myself that? :P

 Confidence:

"Soft rosy pink with just enough pearly-pink shimmer. No sparkle!"

A REALLY pretty subtle highlighter with no chunky glitter (hoooray!). Now I'm a big fan of glitter but since buying the Nars Danmari palette and experiencing the almighty glitter bomb that is Hungry Heart I'm REALLY glad to have found this little treasure! It applies and blends beautifully and when the no buy ends (or i convince myself it is a necessity) I'll be definitely getting full size!

Enchant: 

 "Vibrant peach with a touch of pink shimmer. Very bright in the jar, but soft once blended. Our most popular blush since 2006."

Totally agree with the description there! Its pretty intimidating in the jar and looks a nearly neon shade of orange. But on the skin is a much more wearable, still vibrant more pinky coral. Again, i am in LOVE with this and am lusting after a full size. But luckily the sample sizes are pretty decent, so i can see these lasting me a little while!

Captivate:

"Ruddy deep peach-tone with a golden shimmer throughout. The shimmer is very noticable, but not gaudy or "disco-ball" in appearance."

The one obvious comparison i can make with this is that it is very Orgasmy. But i feel Captivate has a little more depth to it, being a tad deeper, making it a bit more wearable for darker skin tones. Its definitely not a dupe, but they are quite comparable. It is an absolutely gorgeous shade!

 Visual Kei:

"Visual Kei is a rather bright pink with a slight shimmer."

This has got to be the most exciting product out of the bunch. I'd had my eye on Fyrinnae's Lip Lustres for a long time and really needed to take the plunge and buy one, oh and I'm so glad i did! This has a texture unlike any other lip product I've tried! Its thin and completely non sticky, glides on the lips and is opaque with one swipe. I love, love, love it! It has lasting power like nothing else I've seen. I've spent an entire evening wearing it and its still visible at the end of the night, through eating and drinking. It does stain, but i really like that. I just wish they had a few more wearable colours, although my bank balance may be slightly glad of this when i do my next Fyrinnae order. Theses are fantastic and i can't give them a higher recommendation! 

 

I think this mini haul has sated my Fyrinnae obsession slightly, but created a real desire for more Lip Lustres... oops! I don't think i can rave about Fyrinnae enough, products are fantastic, prices are fantastic and they have the lowest shipping cost to the UK i have encountered.

You can check out the Fyrinnae website here.

Do you have any Fyrinnae product recommendations? Not that i need encouraging!

Nars All About Cheek - Danmari Palette

Ello all!

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas and New Years!
My posts have been a bit lacking lately, mainly due to being swamped with uni work (BOO) and travelling. So i thought I'd pop up a quick post on one of my favourite Christmas pressies! I'd seen a LOT of Youtube hype on this beauty but was mostly unaware it was available in the UK (I believe it was a Sephora exclusive in the US) so i was exstatic to get this for Christmas! I was in two minds whether to upload this since it's now not available on the Nars UK website but i decided too just in case some of you can still get your hands on it!

Top row: Hungry Heart - Orgasm - Desire

Bottom row: Casino - Super Orgasm - Sin

 
As you can see it contains six gorgeous shades! What i love about Nars blushes (I already own a single Orgasm) is how pigmented they are. They apply like an absolute dream. I do wish they'd popped a different shade in instead of Super Orgasm, my camera isn't picking up how glittery it is, which for some will be off putting. And Casino is faaaaaar too dark for pale ladies like myself! 

Priced at £45 this is on the pricier side and these are about two thirds of the size of single Nars blushes, but for someone who rarely hits pan on makeup like me, this is awesome! I'm adoring Sin at the moment and I'm positive in the summer Desire is going to get a lot of love. This has come in SO handy for travel, the packaging is sturdy and contains (almost) all the shades i need for a short trip!

So yeah, i won't go into any more detail since you've probably heard it all before. But I'm in love! I'm definitely on the look out for some more blush palettes, watch out Inglot and La Femme!

Thanks for reading.
