Nars VS Dainty Doll - Dupe!

When I purchased Dainty Doll - You Are My Sunshine a few months back (before Fragrance Direct, sadly :() I instantly knew that this was going to be a dupe for Nars' infamous Orgasm blush. I was looking at the blushes Nars offered, repeating the mantra "don't buy Orgasm, you have one really similar, don't buy it!" so when the words "I'll take Orgasm, please!" left my mouth, it was soon followed with a sigh.

As you can see, they look pretty much identical colour wise, with the same golden shimmer throughout and a rose/coral pink flush. The Dainty Doll blush is incredibly soft and finely milled, really buttery but has quite a bit of fall out. From the swatch you can see just how pigmented it is so it's REALLY easy to go a little too far..

Nars' formula is quite hard (I need to learn to describe better) with hardly any fall out. Again though, it's really nice and not chalky in the slightest. Not as pigmented as the aforementioned but considering this shade and the amount of shimmer, I reckon it's much better to play safe with Nars and build up the colour.


So, what we've gathered from this is that my descriptive writing today is horrific! Whoops, but you can clearly see why I think these should definitely be seen as dupes!
