Tarte Exposed Blush Dupe ~ Mac Mocha

Hello everyone. It has been a busy last couple of weeks for me but I have just discovered 2 insanely popular blushes which happen to be dupes of each other.

Tarte Exposed £23 and Mac Mocha £18.50(£15 in refill pan)

This dusty-mauve-muted-rosy shade has been a massive trend for awhile now and with good reason. It gives a beautiful natural flush of color to the cheeks, very flattering for that "no-makeup makeup look".
Exposed is a tad, and I mean just a tad bit warmer, and Mocha is a tad bit cooler, so depending on which undertone you prefer, you have two wonderful options in these.
I am including pics below.






Both blushes are amazing quality so you can't go wrong with either choice, the Tarte blush is magnetic and pops out so you can fit it in a zpalette for easy traveling, but mac has a magnetic refill pan option as well which is a few pounds cheaper than the regular price.
I'm sure there are drugstore dupes of these shades as well, just keep a look out.

Enjoy your weekend.

Nars Reckless Blush Dupe Alert

Models wearing "Nars Reckless" on cheeks

Nars Reckless- Sheer pink shimmer with cool undertones ~  (£23)

Makeup Geek Honeymoon- Light pink with silver flecks

The Nars Reckless blush has been a shade I have recently discovered over the last couple of months. I immediately was intrigued by it being so different to anything I had seen before, but when I went to the Nars counter to try it out, sadly I was not impressed. The color itself is stunning, it really is but it has a ton of  GLITTER. 

Now, usually to some, glitter is never a bad thing, but to me, on my cheeks, it tends to enhance too many flaws. It also spreads everywhere. 

The reason for this post is to say that I am pretty sure I have found the dupe of this (without the crazy amount of glitter) which is Makeup Geek Honeymoon blush. I won't be purchasing "Reckless", but if you are interested in a similar and more affordable blush, check the Makeup Geek Honeymoon (£7).

Enjoy your day/evening.
