Splurge or Save? NARS Orgasm Laguna vs Elf Contouring Blush & Bronzer Powder

I really like these comparison videos of products that are supposed to be dupes. I show you up close what the product looks like not just hold it in my hands from a far, and I talk about the similarities and the differences. At the end of the day it's all about preference but if you want to know what I think just watch!

I bought my NARS duo from a reputable seller on eBay. for under $35. I bought my ELF duo from their website for 3 dollars.

Personally, I would rather splurge and get a product i know is going to be good quality. trust me, I'm def not saying ELF is a bad quality company I have tons of their brushes. But that most people would buy the NARS one just because the hype and the brand name. E.X, most people buy UGGS for the brand name and the label, even if persay their airwalk boots were better quality.

@ccr12368c it's kinda why i do these videos sometimes paying more is just paying more not getting a better or unique product.

You are the best! I never buy products now without seeing if you have made a video on it first.

@Foxes4Portions thank you that's such a huge compliment!

I love Orgasm. I have the elf duo and it's so not even close to Nars. I have 5 elf blushes but I love my Nars blushes. I have Fuchsia Fusion bc I didn't know how Nars Angelika would work on my skin and I love it but I don't like how messy it is in the packaging. Does Angelika do that? I will spend the $ for it either way. Do a comparison please!

[saywink]

@thediordiva I too have a few elf blushes that are in the single packaging. I have peachy keen and candid coral. I really have never paid any attention to Angelika so I'm sorry I don't have a very good answer for you :(

Elf is a waste of time. Save for nars!

NARS packaging is has a soft matte feel.

I already had the elf contouring blush and bronzing powder and as i do have darker skin the bronzer looks really nice and definitely recommend the elf one. I love to apply mine with a stippling brush and if i need to i blend it out with my kabuki! Love the video though i like hearing others opinions!x:)

@veronika138 i made them with a regular set of christmas tree lights. i have a tutorial on them basically i folded origami lilies and i cut the very bottom off and stuck them on the light bulbs.
