Worth the Hype? || Nars Sheer Glow Foundation and Radiant Creamy Concealer

I recently got my hands on the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation (£31) and Radiant Creamy Concealer (£22) so they seemed the perfect way to continue my 'worth the hype?' beauty series.

The thing to bear in mind with base products is that whether they work for you depends on your skin type and what your concerns are. For me, I have really bad dark circles that no amount of eye cream improves! I'm prone to facial shine as well. I was tempted to buy the Sheer Matte version as I was scared the 'glow' would equate to shine on me, but I had no such problems! A light touch of powder in the morning is enough to keep my skin looking glowing but shine-free. I really like the formula and think it does look good on. It's also really nice and build-able so if you're looking for a day-to-night product, check it out. However I find that (weirdly) it seems to emphasise any little hairs on my face. And I'm not even someone who struggles with face hair problems!

It really bothers me that a £31 foundation comes without a pump. And although I saw it is only an extra £3, I'm struggling to find it in stock anywhere. The colour is a little lighter than I'd usually go for. I have Stromboli but I think when Spring comes I will probably buy Barcelona and mix the two. I do feel though that I should be able to find a perfect match for that price. The bottom line is that it looks good on but it isn't without its flaws.

As for the concealer; it's a clear winner for me. Is it worth the price over some of the drugstore creamy concealer offerings? You'll have to wait for my 'save or spend?' to find out! Is it a great product in itself? YES!

Honestly NOTHING has ever disguised my dark circles like this product has and the shade Ginger is perfect for blemishes as well. It doesn't cake or crease under my eyes at all. When I first tried it I wasn't bowled over because I applied my powder straight after and they kind of caked together; the trick is to let it 'dry' before going in with the powder. A light application of powder is more than enough for me and my eyes are very oily. It stays in place all day and it blends in perfectly with this foundation especially but also looks fab with all the one's I've tried it with. Basically, it's everything I've ever wanted from a concealer!

So are they worth the hype?: the concealer definitely is for me, the foundation is more of a 'maybe'

Have you tried either of these Nars products or do you think they're just to pricey? Do you think they were worth the hype?
