Make Up Review: Nars Blush and Bronzer Duo + Orgasm and Crépuscule Lip Gloss

Hi everyone! As promised, I'm gonna make a review about this "Hopelessly Devoted" kit by Nars that was given to me by my aunt on my 17th birthday.

I was so happy when I received this because I've wanted this so much and I've been saving for this for approximately 3 months already! I am so lucky indeed.

The packaging looks like this. Simple and cardboard type, and when you slide it, it contains two lip glosses and the blush and bronzer duo.

The packaging is very sleek and compact. The idea of combining these two in one pallete is really great and such a space saver. It has a big mirror too. The only thing I don't like about it is that the texture of the packaging is rubberized, making it easily dirty and attracts dust.

Notice mine in the picture above, I have only been using this product for a week and it's already dirty. :/

The shades in it is Deep Throat (blush) and Laguna (bronzer) I am so happy because this is the EXACT shades I have been wanting!

Here are the swatches of the blush and bronzer. As you can see, the blush is a peachy-pink color, but it's more on the pinky side. It has shimmer but it is not quite noticeable when applied to the skin. While the bronzer is a shimmery brown. The pigmentation is great for a blush and bronzer. You don't actually need way too much pigmentation on these or else you will look like a clown with a bad tan experience! Haha.

Sorry for the change of the photo quality, I used my iPhone in taking the following pictures!

These are the lipglosses that came with them. It has a nice finish and also great texture. It doesn't dry out my lips at all! Love this. I am pretty sure this is not the full size. I think it's the deluxe size or the medium size! It is actually ideal for small make up bags and parties!

NARS Lipgloss in Orgasm and Crepuscule!

As you can see, the Orgasm lipgloss is a pinkish nude color. Perfect for everyday! While the Crepuscle is a dark reddish brown. It is actually opaque for a lip gloss.

All in all, I love this kit. Both the duo and the lipglosses are a must have in my make up stash! :) I am in the shade NC35 and the colors really match my skintone! I'm pretty sure a lot of skin tones will match these as well.

By the way,  notice my pictures? Yes, it is now in high quality! I borrowed my uncle's DSLR and did some product shoot. I have been struggling with my iPhone 4s Camera ever since I started this blog because I find it easier and more convenient. Unfortunately, the pictures are not that nice. So I realized to do blog posts using a DSLR! Hope you guys appreciate the quality of my photos now. :)

Thanks for reading! :)

Stepping out of my comfort zone.

Hi everyone! So I was using my uncle's laptop and found some of my pictures during our "photoshoot" at home. My uncle is a freelance photographer so we decided to play around at home!

These are the shots of my uncle more than a month ago using his DSLR, Nikon D90. I found the raw copies on his laptop and decided to edit it a bit.

I totally forgot about our play "photoshoot" until I found the pictures!

This is my first time doing this, so please, NO HATE <3

To be honest, this is way out of my comfort zone. I don't have the confidence to post pictures like these, mainly because of haters. I don't have the prettiest face, and especially the skinny body we see in blogs of many famous fashion bloggers. I AM FAT. Hahahaha. 

I am not a fashion blogger, but I dream to be one. Maybe if I have the courage and confidence, I could, but it may take a while. Lol. Obviously, as you can see from my blog title, I am an insecure mess. I am insecure of all the pretty and skinny girls, so posting this would take so much guts. Haha!

And yes, I can't smile and I  pose awkwardly. Sorry for that. Lol.

The reason why I put a watermark/link in my photos is that because this is the ONLY place where I will be sharing this photo. So don't think I feel like someone's gonna steal my photo, that's not what I meant! :)

I had multiple shots but these pictures are the only ones I find nice and presentable... I think? My blog sucks because I only post pictures using my iPhone 4s so it's not the highest quality. This is my first time sharing a high quality photo. I hope when I have the time and money, I will invest in a good camera to take high quality photos! 

Thanks for reading! :)
