Dolce & Gabbana Mint 70 | Review

 Hello Angels
Its the weekend. Phew...finally! Time for plenty of sleep and fun. So here's my weekend treat for you lovelies. 

I admire unique nail colors. Which means even if i see it on others, i make sure to compliment! Early Feb, i bagged this mint green nail paint from Dolce & Gabbana. Its called Mint 70. A limited edition release by D&G. Gorgeous gorgeous color and true mint. The packaging is Lush,  the only downside being the too long applicators. Using them is a tad bit difficult and uncomfortable. To me nothing beats Dior applicators. 

The color is at its best under natural light. Hence, i would wear them mostly for day time occasions. They stay put for 4days decently. Cost $27.


So what do you think? Yay or Nay??!!

Love

Narsissist Cheek Kit | Review

Hello Angels
Squeeeee.....what arrived this Sunday morning, put me on cloud 9! The Narsissist Cheek Kit. To satisfy my rather newly found love for Bronzers, i set myself on a hunt for the perfect one. The answer was quite loud and clear after my so called research. 'Laguna' seemed to have won many hearts. 

A brand i have been keeping myself away from, NARS. I knew somehow i would end of up loving their products. Damage is done! I came across their perfect cheek palette. It houses a blush (Orgasm), bronzer (Laguna) and highlighter (Devotee). All 3 basic cheek products in one! 

Laguna - I get the hype around this bronzing powder now. Looks rather chocolaty in pan but it is a warm, brown based powder diffused with gold shimmer. Perfect to create a tanned look or in my case for contouring. Very warm, not too dark makes it ideal for all skin tones and buildable too.

Devotee - Am in love! Though a powder, on application it brings in a very unique dewy, wet kinda glow. A wayyy better finish and glow compared to Mac's cream color base in Pearl and Benefits Watt's Up. The tiniest of amount brightens up your face. If it wasn't for this palette, i would have missed owning this absolute winner.


Orgasm - I don't own a single blush in Orgasm color family! Very different from my regular choice of pinks and nudes. This being a part of the palette, there wasn't a choice. The color is peachy orange with shimmer of course. I need a 'lil getting used to wearing this color. Tad bit confused if i can pull it off. That being said, it blends beautifully with Laguna. So after all i may end up using it decently.

Overall i am more than happy purchasing this palette. I can easily carry it around with me. And did i mention it comes with a blush brush too...win win! 

Now let me do the math for you. The Narsissist cheek kit costs US$49 for 0.24oz. These are sold individually for approx US$38 for .28oz. Plus you get a blush brush in #20 with the palette. So it roughly costs the same as a single NARS blush. However, i prefer the cheek kit more as it gives me a bit of everything... 

Are you a NARS fan? What's you fav NARS product?

Love
