NARS Super Orgasm Mini review + swatch

This product is so awesome I think it deserves a review all on its own! The NARS Super Orgasm Mini Blush cost $12 at Sephora on Boxing Day but was also offered as a promo on the NARS website at one point. After my trip to Sephora, I also discovered that they are selling it now for $15! So it's there if anyone wants it :P I never had a NARS blush before (or any blush for that matter) so this was a nice size for me to try the colour/the wear of their blushes.

First off, I love the packaging! It's really sleek and has a um silicony feel to it? It seem about half the size of the regular blushes but I'm not entirely sure. Like the regular size, this has a mirror on the flip lid, but that doesn't really matter much because it's about the size of a teaspoon.

Now for the colour...it kind of made me sad that this wasn't the famous 'Orgasm' blush but it is very similar. Super Orgasm was just as 'peachy pink' as Orgasm but it has glitter as opposed to shimmer. Because of this, it ends up being more shiny on your face. The glitter sometimes moved around on my face but that's probably because I touch my face a lot....because of this, I don't really like this shade too much. Aside from the glitter, the colour is really nice and looks very natural on my face. Pigmentation is great so you don't need to use a lot of product. It does last really long though and I've tried Orgasm on my face many times so as soon as I use this up, I'll be getting it :D I think I'll start wearing this everyday for work in the Fall and if the glitter is too much, then I'll just get Orgasm blush then hehe.

Here is the hand swatch that shows the amount of glitter better.

Make-up and Hair Products

Currently waiting in the 3rd floor of SAF for a PhD student's study thing that gives me money :) I hope I get the max of $25! This will help fund my $40 ticket to Marianas Trench! I know it's kind of expensive considering I've seen them for free twice, but I love Josh Ramsay.

So since this blog is pretty dead, I'm going to use it as sort of a 'whenever I'm bored' blog for myself.
Well since my Fall co-op I've been more into makeup and like accessories (actually just scarves). I started shopping at Sephora and even though there stuff is expensive, I think some of the stuff is actually ok for the price!
