Splurge vs steal: Blushes and bronzers

I was looking for some blush last week at Target as they had a sale on,. I hadn't bought any for a while so I really wasn't aware that it is pretty much extinct!! There were bronzers and highlighting kits but I couldn't find a good old fashioned blush. Remember the compacts with the little brush in them ? I never realised I was that out of touch with current beauty trends. :-(

My Bobbi Brown Brick isn't going to be replaced by anything less expensive any time soon. It does the trick beautifully and lasts for ages.

I no longer wear blush on my cheeks but if I ever decide to wear it again or get a case of it I definitely go with the cheaper option I only have to look at these prices & they are insane why pay $50 bucks when you can get one under $10?

Although the brand essence is incredibly cheap, I don't think there is any point going for the less expensive one if it doesn't work atall

I honestly don't see it necessary to splurge on blush as you can find so many amazing ones that cost less than $10

I love these articles! I am definitely a blush gal otherwise I look deathly ill. I'm keen to try a Nars Orgasm dupe!!

Priceline here I come!

Ooo might have to try the dupes out!

I always love these kind of dupe articles. My makeup collection is so large I often own a high end and budget product at the same time lol!

One of the best bronzers I have used is the nude by nature bronzer. I did buy an essence blush recently so I will be interested to see how that goes.

I absolutely love splurge vs steal posts, helping us beauty-addicts to find great beauty products for any budget! I'd love to see more of these posts in the future!

I've honestly heard SO many rave reviews about the Hoola bronzer and Nars blush. It makes me wonder what makes them so great that you just HAVE to have it!

I have been interested in getting Hoola for so long. I have heard so many people rave about it.

All about those steals, thank you!

I have been eyeing off that Hoola Bronzer, having heard nothing but amazing things about it

Love Sportsgirl Metallic body Glow! Easy to use with fantastic results! Love it!

I have one of the NYX blushes and they are stunning!

I don't use bronzer often but i like my Blush :))

What's the perfect color of blush for medium skin tone?

I have so much makeup, but no bronzers and only one blush... I think i've been neglecting these things

I love blush and bronzer but I haven't tried any of these. Even the cheaper ones sound like great quality so I'll have to try some.

I have found that the Benefit Hoola bronzer is the best matte bronzer that I have ever used.

Blush is one of my favourite products, puts the colour back into my face on those days that I am not feeling great. The Nars Orgasm blush was on my wish list for a while and so glad that I purchased it!

I would love to try the cream blush.

Ooooh, I love these spurge versus steal comparisons. Keep them coming!

Blush is definitely my favourite beauty product and I definitely agree with the nyx being somewhat of a dupe for the nars orgasm blush. The nyx one blends easily, isn't too powdery and gives a gorgeous flush of colour.
