NARS - LIMITED EDITION SARAH MOON IMPUDIQUE BLUSH

On the sixth day of the Christmas countdown my true love gave to me, one limited edition Nars blush in Impudique.

Nars have recently collaborated with french photographer, Sarah Moon, and released a range of beautiful limited edition cosmetics just in time for Christmas. Limited edition products will always have a special place in my heart #implusebuy

Packaging

The packaging for this beautiful product is unfortunately underwhelming. Aside from adding 'Sarah Moon' to the front of the packaging and a shade of purple to the side of the packaging to accent the products name, Nars have put in little to no effort here with is both disappointing and expected. The rest of the Sarah Moon collection features beautiful art work which I wish they had carried on over to this very deserving blush.

As per usual, the blush comes with a hinged lid with a mirror inside for beauties on the go. 

'Flecked with hints of shimmer to grant a healthy-looking veil of luminosity and just the right amount of reflective sheen' - MECCA

Formula & Pigmentation

Impudique is described as a pink red hue with pink shimmer and it is to die for. I can honestly say that I don't have a blush even close to this colour.

In terms of formula and pigmentation, a little goes a long way. So much so that I usually have to wipe a little of the product off of my brush before applying the product to my cheeks.

Affordability & Retailers

You can currently purchase the Sarah Moon blush and other items from the Sarah Moon collection through Mecca for $44 AUD.

'Adorn cheeks with a flush of colour with this soft pressed powder blush' - MECCA

Final Verdict

This is a beautiful blush that would make a brilliant edition to any beauty junkie's collection. Pale babes, steer clear or apply very sparingly as this pink can be overwhelming on paler skin tones.

TOO FACED - BETTER THAN SEX MASCARA

The Christmas countdown is on, with Christmas now only seven days away. Where has the year gone! To help my fellow beauties out during this overwhelming time of year, I thought I'd help out by reviewing a potential stocking stuffer or wishlist item  each day leading up to Christmas.

Today were focusing on this beauty - the mini Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara.

This product isn't anything new or exciting, it has been out for years. However, for the Christmas season Too Faced have released a minature version with it's very own ornamental Christmas packaging. Cute! If you have a friend or loved one who had never tried the Better Than Sex Mascara, then I highly recommend purchasing the gifting the mini-version as it allows them to try it out before committing to their own lifetime expense of re-purchasing this amazing product. Moreso, if you're purchasing the mini version over the regular version then that means you have a few more dollars to buy them more makeup. #Winning

'Fulled by collagen, this volume loaded, blacker than black formulation grants the ultimate false lash effect in a flash' - MECCA

Packaging

As I mentioned, Too Faced have released this mini in it's own ornamental packaging so you can literally hang it off of your Christmas tree if you want. What girl doesn't want a Christmas tree full of makeup ornaments hanging off it? #Lifegoals

'One coat and lashes are full, defined and stretched to unbelievable lengths. Two coats and they're reaching unbelievable heights. Three coats and you'll believe in magic' - TOO FACED

Formula & Pigmentation

I have light brown eyelashes which I always forget to have tinted, however this mascara is such an intense black that I don't really need to bother tinting my lashes. Better Than Sex gives my lashes a full luscious coating every time and keeps my lashes black, smudge proof and curled exactly the way that I've always wanted all day long. #wherehaveyoubeenallmylife?

Ingredients & Accolades

All Too Faced products are cruelty free.

Affordability & Retailers

This travel friendly mascara retails for $17.00 AUD and can be purchased either in-store or online at Mecca. Pick yours up today before they're all gone!

Final Verdict

I had never tried this mascara before due to the pricetag, however this very cheap mini version was exactly what I was after in terms of affordability. After having tried this and worn it everyday for the past month, I can say with absolute certainty that I am head over heels in love and will never ever buy another brand of mascara again. Too Faced, I am yours for life #xoxo
