Dupe it or Ditch it? NARS VS Milani

NARS Lip gloss - Orgasm    

            V.S.            

Milani Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss- Luminous 

Price:  NARS (full-size , pictured is mini) $26.00 

Milani: $5.99                           

First Glance: The products at first glance look nothing alike. The Milani appears to be much darker and more shimmer than the NARS. 

Size: Note the size difference in the picture is due to the NARS being a mini. The full size NARS comes with 0.18 oz and Milani has 0.3 oz. 

Texture: The textures are almost identical, they both have a thick feeling on the lips. Luminous has bit stickier texture and also more of a glitter feeling. 

Opacity: Orgasm has more color pay of than Luminous.     

Wear Time: They both come off if you eat, drink, kiss, or lick your lips. These are glosses so it is typical. They both last for around two hours with careful wear, reapplication is required. 

Color Swatch:    Left : Orgasm Right: Luminous. 

Verdict: Luminous is a tad bit lighter, but overall they look IDENTICAL on the lips, down to the gold shimmer in the gloss. If you want to try the shade Orgasam by Nars I would recommend save a few bucks and buy Luminous by Miiani instead!  DUPE IT!
