NARS Jumbo Limited Edition Blush 'Orgasm'

-


Packaging:
The blush comes in the standard NARS packaging which is a black corrugated cardboard slip inside a NARS cardboard packaged black box with white text. The jumbo size is about palm size, the same as their pressed crystal powder and larger then a standard blush. The compact has a soft velvet matte finish with a snap closure with white 'NARS' text and specific to the jumbo size; a finer 'orgasm' shade name text centred in the middle of 'NARS.'

Some people find it hard to keep clean as with use, loose powder catches onto the outside. It also has a clear plastic divider but instead of the black 'NARS' text, it has a coloured 1950's inspired woman. The inside lid features a full width mirror and specific to the jumbo size; faint white '#whatmakesyoublush' text.

Smell/Taste:
None.

Colour:
Orgasm - Peachy pink with gold shimmer. Sheer to medium pigmentation with a satin finish.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a thin, smooth and velvety power. It is easily applied with any type of brush. There is no skipping, patchiness or tugging with this. It's lightweight on the face and easily removed with a basic makeup wipe.

It is made with transparent pigments for a sheer, soft, natural look once out of the pan meaning it can easily be built up. I've had no irritation, skin irritations or noticeable larger pores. It has a longevity of 6-7hrs. The formula is no different in my opinion to the standard size pan.

I love this blush and how it gives a natural, healthy glow with no intense shimmer. I couldn't resist the larger sized pan, so I always have this on hand!

Available:
Limited edition from Mecca Cosmetica, mecca.com.au for $58 for 8g/0.28oz.

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
