Dupe: Chanel Mat Lumiere Powder vs. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

Hey all,

I have been searching for the right powder for a really long time especially that I have a combination skin type where my T-zone is oily but, the rest of my face is quite dry.

My Impressions:

First, I tried Chanel Mat Lumiere and as always, I didn't like it but then trial after the other, I started enjoying wearing it and it started to work on me better. It claims to stay on the face and maintain the matte feeling for twelve hours and I found this to be quite true.  Second, I went and purchased Rimmel Stay Matte after hearing my sister's positive review. I, personally, didn't enjoy Stay Matte as much as Chanel Mat Lumiere. It wasn't the same quality. I was very dissatisfied because I was very hopeful of liking it. I tried in many different ways to see if it can lasts longer although it claims to last up to five hours.

Dupe: NARS Orgasm Blush vs. L'Oreal Rosy Cheeks Blush

Hey all,

From now on, I will start new series on my blog where I will compare two products that are very similar and can be considered as dupes. I will be focusing on trying two products, one is from the high-end makeup and the other one as a drugstore makeup.

Today, I will compare two similar products (blushes) that I consider almost the same especially when applied on the apples of the cheeks. These two products, as shown above from the title's name, are NARS Orgasm and L'Oreal Accord Perfect 165 Rosy Cheeks.

My all time favorite is the NARS Orgasm blush and it's always a choice for me when I apply makeup. I use it almost on daily basis and I just love it so much. But, when I found out that I already have something very similar in my makeup collection and I compared them together, I was amazed how similar they are. Honestly, I still prefer the NARS blush but if you are searching for one that's less pricey and almost identical then you're in the right place. Below, I will compare both of them:
