Karen: Drugstore Beauty Haul

Hey ladies :) The drugstores are doing some great products at the moment which a lot of bloggers may have raved about. If you live in the UK, you'll also know that Boots is doing the offer of 3 for 2 on selected items. As I'm in Hong Kong during this summer holiday, I didn't get to enjoy that offer; however, I asked Avneesh to get me some products ;)

These items are still at Avneesh's, so they have not been opened yet and I can't do the swatches for you, sorry :/

Revlon Photo Ready Cream Brush in Coral Reed

Never owed a cream brush, and heard a lot of things about the revlon one, so I bought it :) Also, I have seen other people wearing this in their pictures, and it looks lovely on them. Although the packaging looks scarily red, it doesn't come out like that once it has been nicely blended. 

Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blusher in Soft Pink

Another cream blush that I wanted to try ever since it was launched. This soft pink looks great and I think it's a shade for every skin colour.

Maybelline Baby Lips in Intense Care

As mentioned in one of our posts (read here), I quite enjoy the baby lips for moisturisation. I had the blue tube one before, and I want to try this 'Intense Care' lip balm :)

Real Techniques Fine Liner Brush

I need a new liner brush, so I got this one. There isn't much explanation as to why I wanted it haha!

Real Techniques Core Collection

This collection contains four brushes, which are the detailer brush, contour brush, pointed foundation brush and buffing brush. I love Real Techniques' brushes; I think they are very affordable and great tools. I have heard so much about the buffing brush, which is the main reason why I wanted this :)

BarryM Gelly Nail Polishes in Prickly Pear, Grapefruit and Greenberry

Need I say more about these nail polishes? I love them and I wanted to have shades haha! We have done a blog post on these, it was our first blog post too... (Read Here)

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Fushia-Ristic

I know a lot YouTubers love this product and I just want to see what the fuss is all about. I bought the shade fushia-Ristic because I don't have many lip products which is a fuschia shade!

Soap & Glory Glow All Out Luminzing Face Powder

Again, this is such a hyped up product, and I just really want to try it!

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Lotion

Soap and Glory's body products are known as their heavenly scents! I have their shower gel which smell soooooo GOOD! So, decided to get more of their products :)

Soap & Glory The Breakfast Body Scrub

I really can't wait to open these bad boys when I see Avneesh after summer!!!! I'm so excited to try these out :)
Hope you enjoy this post, and let me know what you think of the products x

Review: NARS Blush/Bronzer Duo

Hello pretties, I'm Karen. I am so excited to show you the following product, and review it for you guys :) It is the NARS Blush/Bronzer Duo in Orgasm and Laguna! I believe that this duo palette was limited edition, so I'm really sorry if you can't get hold of this anymore. However, you can get the blush and bronzer separately. 

Blush in Orgasm

Despite the weird name of this blush, I love the shade so much!! It looks so natural on my face and it simply brightens up on face complexion. This is a cult product and I now understand why this is such a hyped-up blush! 

Left: Orgasm    Right: Laguna

Bronzer in Laguna

Once again, this is a classic shade from NARS which I'm sure all of you have heard of. It is perfect for contouring and it suits my skin colour so well! However, if you have really fair skin colour, I think this is too dark for you to use as a bronzer/contour. 

Definitely check out these two shades if you have got neither, it really does worth every penny! NARS powder products (e.g: eye shadows or blushes) are known as their pigmentation, so it won't disappoint you! Also, keep your eyes open for any duo palettes, because I've heard that they bring out duo palettes every year. It is so much easier when two products are packed in one palette and to put in your handbags for touch-ups. 

Hope you enjoyed this post, let us know if you have tried or want to try any NARS products, and your thoughts on them :)
