[ Dupe 雙生兒 ] 修容雙生兒 – NARS Laguna Vs ELF St. Lucia

又寫雙生兒的BLOG POST 了.之前已經寫過ELF ST LUCIA 的 雙生兒BLOG POST 了, 可以按我查看~! 因為當時手邊沒有NARS  Laguna, 所以無法比較. 這個MINI 的NARS  Laguna是從美國SEPHORA 購入 ( 想看之前的HAUL 嗎? 按這裡去看看吧~!).

It’s another blog post about DUPES! There is a blog post able ELF St. Lucia VS NARS Orgasm, you may click here to check. ( I was not able to compare the bronzer side of ELF St Lucia as I didn’t get my hand on NARS Laguna yet.) This mini size NARS Laguna came with the Sephora Set ( Wanna check my Sephora Haul? Click Here!)

兩者的包裝都很相似. 都是啞黒色膠盒. 不得不讚是, NARS 雖然只是MINI SIZE, 但都有鏡子~! 打看後,可以見到NARS 及ELF 在肉眼下很相似, 都是咖啡色,有輕微金色珠光.感覺上應該很相似~!

The NARS and ELF has similar packaging, the products are in a matte black plastic pack. I was pretty impressed that NARS still install a tiny mirror in their mini size product! They are visually identical in the pans. It is brown with slight golden shimmer, which is expected to be satin finish. I do feel they are DUPE at this point!

但是一上手,可以看到不同之處! 感覺上,ELF 家及NARS 家的粉質算中上,不算太滑.但ELF 家的明顯比較顯色.我把NAR LAGUNA 來來回回擦了好幾次,都不及ELF 家的顯色.(不知道是因為我這個是MINI SIZE, 所以品質有異還是本身如此) 我覺得ELF 的ST LUCIA 是”勁重手”的NARS LAGUNA. 如果細心地把NARS LAGUNA 慢慢BUILD UP, 便會有ELF ST LUCIA 的效果. 如果只是想有少少SUN KISSED LOOK, 可以用NARS LAGUNA, 因為整個感覺都會很自然. 而ELF ST LUCIA 真的可以輕易修容,不過重點是要輕手一點.

When it come to swatch, you can tell the difference! Although both ELF and NARS is not as smooth as I expected, it is not powdery, ELF seems to be more opaque. I tried to swirl in the Laguna and was not able to obtain such intense colour as ELF did. ( I wonder if it is just the quality of mini size product or it was suppose to be so sheer and subtle)

假如你問我, 到底它們是否相似.我覺得它們有80%相似. 如果你問我,到底應該買那一個? 我會告訴你, 買ELF! 因為顏色相似, 兼且如此便宜,真的是”抵玩之選”!

If you ask me, are they truly dupes? I would say, they are 80% alike, so it can be consider as dupe. If you ask me to recommend one, I will CERTAINLY go to ELF! Since I think ELF has better colour pay off and got similar effect as Nars Laguna. It is definitely worth trying!

[ Dupe 雙生兒 ] 胭脂雙生兒 – NARS ORGASM VS ELF & SLEEK

如果以DRUGSTORE 的價錢就可以得到專櫃品牌產品的效果. 誰會不喜歡!?  這次要說的是比較幾個胭脂. 看看是不是大家口中的雙生兒!

If you can obtain the same effect with lower price, why not? I have 2 blushes on hand which are considered as dupes of Nars Orgasm. Let’s dig into details to determine whether they are dupes.

NARS 的ORGASM 胭脂是許多人的至愛, 橙紅帶有金色珠光FINISH, 輕輕一下都可以很自然. (官網形容為 Peachy pink with golden shimmer) ELF家的Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder – St. Lucia 被形容為NAR ORGASM & LAGUNA 的平價VERSION. 因為手邊沒有LAGUNA, 不能比較了.

Nars Orgasm is one of the famous blush among the peachy pink spectrum. According to the Nars official website, it’s Peachy pink with golden shimmer. The description is pretty accurate. Now it comes to the dupe, ELF Studio Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder – St. Lucia. It is a compact with Blush & Bronzer, which the blush is considered to be dupe of Nar Orgasm and bronzer is considered as Nars Laguna. I only have the Nars Orgasm on hand thus just focus on the blush part.

看試色圖, ELF 家的色澤較橙調,明顯只有淡淡珠光.雙方大約只有8成相似. 假如你想妝感更自然低調, 我會推薦ELF 家的. (因為NARS 家的明顯珠光, 對新手比較難掌握. )

From the swatch, the ELF blush is peachy shade, however, it has less shimmery effect compared to Nars Orgasm. This is a subtle peachy cheek colour with matte finishing. I would said it is even more natural blush effect than Nars one. Would I consider ELF St Lucia blush as a Dupe? I won’t say it is a 100% dupe of Nars since the ELF blush only mimic the colour of Nars Orgasm but not the whole sheer glow finishing. However, I would still highly recommend this blush to those looking for a natural peachy pink shade of Nars Orgasm.

另外SLEEK 又算是性格比很高的品牌. SLEEK BLSUH BY 3 – LACE 中間的色調, 又是橙粉調加上少量閃粉. 而且,粉質比ELF 家的好多了,更貼近專櫃品牌感覺. SLEEK 家的胭脂比較粉紅調,與NARS  家的一樣有光澤感.

Another dupe for Nars Orgasm is Sleek blush by 3 – Lace. The middle shade is a peachy pink shade which has a hint of shimmer. I am impressed by its high quality texture which is comparable to luxurious brand. I would say this Sleek palette leans on the pinky side while having the same golden sheer compared to Nars Orgasm.

尚未決定入手那一個? 其實, 這三個產品都挻持久又顯色, 買任何一個都不會令你失望! 但豐儉由人, 大家按自己預算入手吧!

Overall, you won’t be disappointed if you buy any of these blushes. Since they are both long wearing with vivid color payoff. Spurge or purge? It’s totally up to you!
