Angelika is described as a "Cotton candy pink with gold particles"... weird coz the particles looks silver to me =P
They look shimmery on the pan but hardly noticeable when applied (see swatches).
TEXTURE & FINISH:
Both have silver shimmers, but Angelika's texture is much finer than TFS.

Angelika - really pigmented; i only have to TAP my brush once or twice for it to show up on my NC20 skintone.
PK103 - sheer but buildable color

STAYING POWER :
I adore NARS blushes coz of its staying power, they last for more than 6 hours on me.
TFS on the other hand, lasts for around 4 hours (if I don't sweat)

Left: The Face Shop Blush in PK103 Right: NARS Blush in Angelika
They look similar in their respective pans but once applied PK103 looks cooler & less shimmery than Angelika.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
If you're looking for an inexpensive cool toned pink blush, I highly recommend PK103.
Till next time,

Thanks for the greetings Khymm! :)
Re: TFS blush, I find the shades really pretty but what puts me off from purchasing are the bigger chunks of shimmers! But this is definitely a nice dupe!
I think NARS color is actually prettier.
Nice comparison, blush dupes nga. :P
I want to swatch PK103 now, it looks really pretty! And it doesn't look so shimmery in your picture, which is a plus for me. :D
i have nars angelika. but now i want the dupe because i am sucker for cool pinks, and that one looks cooler talaga! =D = trace
wow nice dupes!!! unfortunately Face Shop pulled out from HK years ago :(!
I love the look of The Face Shop's version better. :)
It's great to know theres a good dupe for nars angelika. Both shades are pretty!
great job on the comparison, khymm! isn't pk103 chalky?
the swatches on your hand is a clear proof of how NARS blushes are so pigmented! Angelika's shimmers are so visible. i'd bet you swatched sparingly, too.
wow, totally looks the same on the pan:))
great dupe :)
