NARS Gina Blush Review and a Giveaway

I purchased NARS Gina blush back in February, after realising we were heading towards Spring and my blush collection is pretty much ALL pinks. I wanted something a bit more orange toned and something that would be good for Summer when I have a tan. 

This purchase actually popped my NARS cherry (!) and I'm so glad I chose this bad boy to do so. NARS describe 'Gina' as a tangerine shade, which sounds scary but you can apply it as sheer or as strong as you like.



As with all NARS blushes, you get 4.8g for *gulps* £21.00. At first this scared me, but after using it for a month, I've seen just how little product is needed to get a great colour pay off- its SO pigmented! Also, as a tangerine shade, I like to apply this quite sheer anyway, so I can see Gina lasting me a long time.




Also, I find NARS blushes wear much longer than my MAC blushes do, although I suppose you'd expect that for the hefty price tag. I've fallen in love with Gina, and NARS for that matter. It really is quality for your money.

The Giveaway

As I've reached 250 followers (WOW) I decided to give you lovely people the chance to win yourselves a brand spanking new NARS Gina blush (purchased by me for you). 

Enter Below!

Good luck!

  41. Nars makes me wish i was a billionaire, because otherwise i probably couldn't brig myself to hand over that much cash for one product, winning is a different story though!

    So when i think of your blog the first words that came to mind were, photography, fashion, beauty and honesty. I love the way you explain everything, and your unique views on fashion and beauty. Seeing a new blog post by you makes me smile! and im not sure exactly how i came across your blog to begin with but i am so glad i did!
