Sleek Makeup Blush by 3 Palette in Lace: The middle shade in this palette is called Guipure and is striking similar to NARS Orgasm. Unfortunately, the set in "Lace" available in the States doesn't include the same color combination ($12.49 from Sleek online)
NARS Blush in Orgasm: A cult classic, described as a peachy pink with shimmer. It's fairly sheer, very finely milled, gives a natural looking flush, and feels so soft on the skin. ($29 at Sephora)
Final Thoughts: Once on the face, I doubt most people would be able to tell them apart-- especially if Guipure was applied with a light hand. The Sleek palette is a great value for a good product... but ultimately you get what you pay for in the formula. Orgasm is a little easier to apply because of it's sheerness and appears less gold than Guipure. I feel like getting NARS Orgasm is somewhat of a rite of passage in the makeup world, but that may not justify the cost. Either way, I'm personally glad I own them both.
If you see em together, color wise hard to choose but I can always tell the difference once applied..formula is so important with these kinda shimmer blushes!
ReplyDeleteLipstick wise, since you asked..MAC Cream Sheen or Revlon Super Lustrous...so many really!

Thanks for stopping by and for the suggestions! I'd heard so many good things about the YSL Rouge Volupte' and I was really disappointed when I got it in Opera Rose. It smells a little like pickles and settled into lip lines. That, and the color was so different from Sephora's picture.
DeleteWow they looks so similar! Love your background xx

I really recommend it! I was so surprised to find that it was more pigmented than Orgasm. NARS appears a little more natural but either way you can't go wrong!
