They all look so pretty.
Very true 🙂
More reasons to get NYX Apricot!
Certainly worth a try at the price point!
Oh Christine! I am so happy you did this! There is no way for me to get hold of the Hourglass blushes but thankfully the dupes are easier to get! 😀 can get the color before actually getting the real thing!
YAY! I’m so glad I could help, Divya 🙂
Nice post and comparison! I did buy the GH diffused heat (haven’t worn it yet .. it’s so pretty in the pan!) .. lol
Monica.
You gotta wear it 😀 The pattern will hold up better than you think.
Christine, THANK YOU for this! I’ve been drooling over Diffused Heat ever since I first saw it but unless I pay a trip to France (or pay stupid import taxes) I can’t get it, so it’s awesome to see where I can find myself a good dupe! I think I’ll grab the NYX or MUFE.
Woohoo!! Glad I could help.
I have heard so many people talk about these Hourglass blushes and as pretty as they look, i’ve never felt the urge to go out and purchase them because their price tag is so high! I will defiantly check out some of these dupes though! 🙂
Yay! 🙂
Oh interesting, I have Feather and didn’t know it was a dupe!
It is surprisingly similar!
The Makeup Forever one is so pretty!
Agreed!
I really like that there’s a good Nyx dupe in the mix 🙂 Diffused heat is my favourite of the Hourglass blushes (based on the swatches I’ve seen) but I’m not sure I’m enough of a blush person yet to justify the Hourglass price 😉 The Nyx seems a little deeper/redder, but that’s not a problem for me!
It’s a good alternative to trying the color and seeing how it goes, too 🙂
I appreciate that you compared it to another blush (MUFE) in a different texture/formula! Normally, people don’t consider those dupes even when they are. I like that, thanks! (:
My pleasure! 🙂 What’s great about the MUFE formula is that it dries down to a powder finish and feel, so even though it starts like cream, it’s really quite similar at the end of the day!
I love the Tarina Tarantino blushes! Happy to see that dupe 🙂
Me too!
Nyx Apricot is winner for me
Woohoo – glad that’ll work for ya, Jasmine!
Now definitely will up NYX Apricot when shopping next time!!! 🙂
Hope you love it, Bonnie!
So very pretty!
They are!
This is a wonderful way for those who can’t get the hyped one to experience the color! I’m so glad! 😀 I have them all, and they’re great, but they feel luxury and fun, rather than what I reach for everyday. What you put as dupes seem lovely and possibly better than the Hourglass. Cheers! 😀
Thanks, Lotus! Hourglass is a lovely brand but a higher price point, so it’s always good to be able to find alternatives!
