October Lust List



1. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation
I'm running out of my Revlon Colorstay foundation, which is my current full coverage foundation. I have terrible skin at the moment and prefer a more full coverage foundation to hide the army of blemishes. I've heard such good things about Double Wear and I'm eager to give it a test. 

2. NARS At First Sight Eye & Cheek Palette
NARS seriously need to stop coming out with such gorgeous palettes, every time I get an email from them telling me about all the beautiful products now available, my bank balance cry's a little. This palette looks so gorgeous for Autumn and looks like a good all rounder!

3. Hugo Boss Deep Red EDP
One of my all time favourite fragrances, I like to stray away and try different perfumes but I always go back to this. It is currently missing from my collection and I desperately need to give a bottle a home.

4. Dreamcatcher
My new student digs is looking pretty empty and boring and with my current obsession with anything Dreamcatcher, I am lusting after this one I found on good old Ebay. It would definitely add a bit of character to my boring walls.

5&6. Sleek Romance Collection: Blush in Antique and iDivine Vintage Romance Palette
I love the new Sleek Romance collection! The palette looks so beautiful and is full of shades perfect for Autumn. Sleek are my all time favourite drugstore brand, they have amazing quality products and I need to get my hands on these!

7. Watercolour Feather Tattoo
I've been debating getting a tattoo since I was 18 and have just never had the cahoonies to do it. I'm a bit of a wimp and I could never make up my mind what I wanted! I've been looking at the new watercolour style tattoo's that seem to be growing in popularity and they looks so beautiful! I'd love to be brave enough to get this little watercolour feather on my hip. 

What are you lusting after this October?

Nars Orgasm Vs Sleek Rose Gold Blush

I heard somewhere that Sleek Rose Gold blush was a good drugstore dupe for the much loved Nars Orgasm, so naturally I rushed to my local Superdrug to purchase said blush. I've been a big fan of Sleek for a while so there was no doubt in my mind that the pigmentation was going to be top notch. 

The Sleek is more of a coral/orange pink compared to the Nars, despite this, it gives a very similar finish to the Nars. Both give a flash of gold shimmer which highlights the cheek bones amazingly. 

Despite the Sleek blush being A LOT cheaper, it doesn't lack in pigmentation, in fact it is pretty much on parr with it's high-end counterpart. No, Rose Gold is not exactly the same as Orgasm (feel a bit weird writing that) it's slightly darker and has a more orange tone BUT the finish is very very close. The gold shimmer is slightly stronger in the Sleek which I love and I think if your looking for that iridescent gold shimmer, the Sleek wins out, but only by an teeny tiny margin.

Nars Orgasm RRP: £21.50
Sleek Rose Gold RRP: £4.49
