Review: Nars Laguna Bronzer...

Hello my lovelies, I hope you're all having a great weekend so far!

I'm going out for my 21st tonight, my birthday isn't until Tuesday but I'm having an early celebration. I can't wait!

I recently purchased Nars Laguna & I thought it was about time I posted a review.

What Nars say:

'Diffused powder with golden shimmer to create an all-over warmth and contour for the entire face.Bronzing Powder creates a natural looking glow which enhances or creates the look of tanned skin'

What I think: 

Nars Laguna is somewhat of a cult product in the beauty community and it's easy to see why. The packaging is sleek, the powder itself is finely milled & great quality and the colour is perfect.

Product:

As mentioned above the product itself is great. The powder is finely milled and great quality. Laguna is a medium brown with gold shimmer, the shimmer is beautiful and in no way glittery or chunky. I normally use a matt bronzer to contour but I find Laguna perfect for the job and have used it every day since purchasing it. I also use Laguna all over the face to add some warmth to my complexion, it leaves a lovely natural finish and can easily be built up if you prefer the darker look.

Packaging:

Laguna comes in the standard black Nars packaging. As anybody who owns a Nars product will know, Nars packaging may look nice brand new but it attracts product and finger prints like nothing else! I love the fact that Laguna is a large bronzer with a mirror included, this makes it really easy to use and it's perfect for on the go touch ups.

Price & Availabilty:

Nars Laguna costs £25.00 per 8g. It is available from the Nars website and Nars stockists worldwide.

Overall Opinion:

Overall I'm very impressed with Nars Laguna and I feel the hype surrounding this product is much deserved. If you're look for a high quality bronzer that will last ages Nars Laguna is for you!

Benefit Hoola & Soleil Tan De Chanel are next on my bronzer hitlist.

My First Nars Product - Nars Gina Blush...

Good evening lovelies =]

Up until very recently I did not own a single Nars product. I'd picked them up in Space NK many times but never ended up buying them, partly due to the £20.50 price tag. This was until the gorgeous Yinka over at Vexinthecity recommended Nars Gina during Buyapowa blogging week and I knew I had to buy it!

Please excuse the grubby packaging, I'm sure anyone who owns a Nars product will sympathise! The packaging is beautiful but picks up finger prints & product like nobody's business!

As you can see Gina is a beautiful matt peach shade, leaning slightly towards coral. Being a matt shade I was worried it would look a little flat but it actually adds a glow to my complexion without making me look like a discoball! Gina is very pigmentated and you only need the smallest amount for it to give a lovely flush of colour or it can be easily built up for a more dramatic look. I've been reaching for this blush every morning since it arrived, it makes me look awake and radiant in the morning & it lasts all day.

Here is me with the Gina applied...

Overall I'm really impressed with Nars Gina and I can't wait to pick up more Nars products, Laguna is next on the list!

Nars Gina is normally priced at £20.50 & is available here.

I paid £15.50 on Buyapowa, a saving of £5.00!
