Nars Sin and Casino Duo with Laguna comparison!

I was tweeting on Twitter recently that my Nars Laguna was almost out, and that I wanted to try Casino instead. Luckily for me Jo said she was about to put this Sin & Casino duo on her blog sale and saved this for me. Thanks sweetie! :)

So what do we have here?




SIN BLUSH

Surprisingly Sin is a blusher that I didn't own. Usually I dismiss anything with a purple tone in it as not to look bruised! However, I have been informed by several people that Sin is a "must have" so I wanted "in" on this. It's a gorgeous pinkie mauve with gold reflects. It has no glitter that transfers onto the face, it just creates a matt sheen. Like all Nars blushes it is highly pigmented and finely milled.

CASINO BRONZER

This is very similar to Laguna, it's basically a darker version. I will go into detail with a comparison below.



Today, I wore Casino to contour and Sin as my blush....


Onto the comparison, shall we?

Casino Vs Laguna Bronzer

What do I think? Well, Casino is definitely darker. I only tapped my Mac 134 brush into it once for one side of the face. Usually, with Laguna I would do several swirling motions and always reapply as it doesn't really show up that much. I think Casino is the one for my skin tone... If you have fair skin I would stay away from this, however if you are olive skinned, tanned or have a deeper skin tone this will look better on you.

Casino and Laguna are both matt bronzers with a sheen which are finely milled, highly pigmented, have gold reflects and from the same brown family.

I'm really happy that I discovered Casino, as for me it will last longer as I don't need that much product and I will also save time as I will only need the one swipe! :)


Oh and here's what my Laguna looks like now... R.I.P!


Do you have Casino? If so, what do you think of it?

I have Casino and I love it! I'm so glad I didn't buy Laguna at Sephora because I would have the same problem as you.. I have tanned/olive sin and Laguna doesn't show up on me too much. Sin/Casino look beautiful on you! xox

Did you know that you can easily repear any powder-based makeup product with alcohol? All you need to do is add a few drops of alcohol to the product, form a paste with it & replace it the way you want it to be in the package. For better results, let it dry all night. I tried, it totally works! (=

Sorry for your Laguna :( Mine also crumbled in little pieces, but I used the repairing method mentioned below by Gaby, and it's still alive!

oooh i didnt get to my space nk yesterday but think i may just buy casino anyway - think it might be better for me when i am faux tanned ;) xx

I`m fair (NC 30) but Casino still works for me. With Laguna (which I also love) I had to use quite a heavy hand to get the desired bronzing effect. But with Casino I only use a little and it gives me a nice color
Casino will definitely last longer because of this

I really want Sin now! It looks amazing on you! I have Laguna but because im so pale its perfect!Casino would be a bit scary for me! xx

Glad Casino works for you! I had this duo before but swapped it away coz it was too dark and a bit too red on me so I have to be extra careful with it.

Sin is one of my fave NARS blush. It's such a sophisticate color!

Sin is a lovely shade, even for someone with a lighter complexion as me! :)
Casino looks gorgeous on you, probably better than Laguna, however I don't think I could pull it off, so just hope that Laguna 's not being discontinued!

xoxoox
Followed! You're gorgeous!:) I very much like your blog. I was plannin' to get the nars laguna but now your review totally changed my mind. I'd rather get casino. I'm nc35 and I think the usage of this will last for a long time. I like sin too! but maybe it won't work on me? Hmmmm. :)
