Current favorites #1 - lipsticks

Yesterday I started posting again after a few months of nothing so i'm doing a few favorites posts just to be sure my blogs caught up.
I'm starting with lipsticks with nail varnishes, eyeshadows, blushes and my usual everyday makeup to follow. 

Left to right; MAC Hold on, MAC Lovelorn, MAC Fanfare and Nars Happy Days.
Taken in natural dull light.
The swatches look pretty much true to colour on my screen so I wont describe their individual colours.

MACs - Hold on and Fanfare are creamsheen and last about 4 hours, Lovelorn is Luster and lasts about 3 hours.
Nars - This is a Velvet gloss lip pencil, its sheer and lovely (I usually layer a little of Fanfare over it for some added colour). Wear time is only about 1-2 hours. Review to follow on this one I think.

Nars Orgasm dupes - swatches

For some reason this blush is a highly well known cult product. 

I dont know if its the hype or what but I dont see what all the fuss is about. Sure its pretty but i much prefer MAC blushes their just much softer and more pigmented.
One thing is like about it is the colour, its a lovely golden apricot colour.

Left to right; MAC Peachykeen, MAC Springsheen, Nars Orgasm, Benefit Bella Bamba and Benefit Coralista. 

Top to bottom; MAC Peachykeen, Nars Orgasm and MAC Springsheen

I love these shades of blushes, rose coloured with a gold sheen to them and no chunky glitter.

I think the MAC blushes are closest to Orgasm. Spring sheen is just that bit darker and Peachykeen is a bit too red.
Bella bamba has too much dark pink to it and Coralista is too orange.
Its hard to find an exact dupe of blushers but these are always compared to Orgasm.

Personally I love MAC Springsheen, it was my first MAC blush and i still adore it.

I do think Nars Orgasm is over rated and although I've used it a few times i just don't seem to be able to get into using it.
