More Sephora Shopping

What can I say, I'm a sucker.  Sephora sent out gift cards to the Beauty Insiders, I got one for $15.00 off a $40.00 purchase.  I wanted to try Urban Decay Deslick Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray, so I purchased that. 

I also picked up one of the Nars Lip gloss duo in Orgasm/Hustler, along with the lip gloss/lip stain duo in Turkish Delight/Sayonara.  Both duos were $10.00 and I didn't want to miss out on another Nars $10.00 deal like I did with the eyeshadow duos.  I also picked up one of the dollar Sephora eye liners in Forest Green.

Sephora Friends & Family

About a week or so ago Sephora had a friends and family sale where you could get 20% off of any item online.  I ordered  three Nars items, one of which I ended up returning.  I bought Galapagos eyeshadow, Melusine eyeshadow duo (returned item) and Dolce Vita blush.

I really did like the Melusine duo, but it reminded me of L'Oreal HIP's Electrified duo, so that is why I returned it.  Galapagos is a pretty brown with gold glitter.  Dolce Vita is buildable pink with a subtle shimmer.

So that's what I purchased during the F&F sale at Sephora.  I would love to hear what you purchased?

Nars Luster

So about a month ago Sephora released some Nars lipglosses to complement their best selling blushes. I own two Nars lipglosses and they are okay, but they should be a lot better than what they are considering the price. They are very sticky and have very little color payoff. I was in a word, disappointed.

However, when you think of Nars, most people think of blushes. I have heard a million great things about these blushes. For the most part I'm a lipgloss and eyeshadow kind of girl. My collection circles around these things. So when I first got into makeup blush was the last thing on my mind. I have always read great things about Nars' Orgasm, but I have also read horrible things about it as well. Plus I tested it out in Sephora a while ago and I honestly don't know what all the fuss is about.

Naturally I leaned toward the "safe" choice which was Luster. I would describe it as a peach with gold shimmer. I also picked up the Luster lipgloss, which is so much better than my other Nars glosses. It's not as sticky and though the color payoff isn't great I wasn't disappointed.

The blush is buildable and it shows up on me as a gold-ish color. The gloss is a sheer gold color and it is sticky, but not as sticky as the other two that I own. I am proud of my first Nars blush purchase. I was not disappointed, it definitely lived up to the hype. Have you purchased any of the nars blush/lipgloss combinations, if so how do you like them? Until next time...
