One of the cult classic blushes is probably NARS’ Orgasm Blush. It’s a beautiful peachy pink blush that has a lot of shimmer in it. There are a lot of dupes to that shade but I want to show you an organic option for it: *Zuii Organic’s blush in shade Melon.

So let’s compare them.

NARS Orgasm Blush vs. Zuii Organic Melon blush – Dupe for Orgasm blush

Color
They are very similar peachy/pink colors but Melon is a bit more pink than Orgasm. They both have nice pigment but Melon has definitely more of it than Orgasm. Melon is an intense color whereas Orgasm is more sheer. And I tried my best to make it intense in the swatch.

Shimmer
Orgasm certainly has more shimmer and glitter in it than Melon. The glitters are also bigger than in Melon. Melon has a lot of shimmer in it too but it’s very fine so it doesn’t look that glittery.

Texture
Melon is very smooth and easy to apply. Orgasm is more dry and it doesn’t go on as smoothly as Melon does. I don’t have dry skin but I have some dryness on my skin every now and then and I’ve had trouble applying Orgasm. I think you can see the color/shimmer/texture difference in the swatches quite well.

Packaging
The packaging is quite similar in both of these. Simple black. NARS has a satin almost suede feel to it though and that’s why it’s harder to keep it clean.  Zuii has a transparent lid and I like that I can see the blush  through. Both are beautiful.

Price
NARS blush is actually more expensive than the Zuii blush (at least in my country).

I love them both but I have to say Melon blush is better in quality. I’m actually still wondering how Orgasm is so popular – am I the only one having trouble with the patchiness? The color however is beautiful.

Instagram makeup trends & the challenge

Defined and full brows, brown colours on lids with some kind of a cut crease, big winged liner, full lashes, a ton of highlighter and overdrawn nude lips. That is my overstated take on the #instagrammakeup.

Beautiful Pauliina from All The Little Royals -blog did this challenge and I wanted to take part in it too. The idea is to copy a makeup look that is really in right now and that is seen with many bloggers and vloggers. Instagram really shows the makeup trends that are in at the moment and even though I don’t agree with all the trends doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy gorgeous photos of awesome makeup.

I like full coverage foundation but don’t really wear it on every day basis ’cause it can look cakey and heavy especially when it starts to wear off. On photos though it looks amazing – especially if you pair it with photoshop. I feel like I can’t talk about instagram makeup without talking about photoshop a bit – ’cause they seem to walk hand in hand. I really can’t bear the blurred skin and bright eyes and shimmering photoshopped highlighter with some of the vloggers. I do sometimes edit my photos but mainly I do it to remove pimples or something like that. I like my makeup to be the shining star – not my editing skills. Do you feel me?

Back to the makeup – I love this eye look! Brown neutrals suit everyone and big lashes make everything better. I like winged liner too but I just can’t make it work for my eye shape. The struggle is real with that one. I accidentally did a really thick liner for this look but luckily it looks fine with big lashes. I solemnly swear to learn to slay my wings in the future.

Nude lips have slowly got me. They’re just easy to pair with anything and they look good even wearing off. Overdrawn lips though are not really my thing. I do line my lips slightly over my real lip line but never like this. I feel like I look ridiculous and bigger lips don’t suit my face. I’m actually relieved about that – I don’t want to want to get lip injections. That seems to be a trend now too which is a bit sad.

What do you think on the instagram trends and makeup looks?
