L to R: Dolce Vita, Crazed, Taj Mahal, Oasis

 

I am just in love with all things NARS. Their blushes are soo pretty and soft. And look at Taj Mahal! such a bright punch of color. Can't wait to come up with a look using it.

  2. @Sophia - Dolce Vita and Crazed are definitely my fave of the 4. Crazed moreso just because it's more intense.

    Taj Mahal is alittle scary in how bright the color is in the pan but once you blend it on it is amazing how wearable it is. I can total see cocomotion wearing it, it would compliment her very well.

    Oasis is very soft subtle pink, and yes shimmery. definitely the type of shade that you have to layer on to increase the visibility of it - well at least one me, your like 20 shades lighter then me so i doubt you would really have to worry about building it up. But i think you don't like shimmery blush as much right? so it may not be for you.

  7. Soph: Taj Mahal looks like a less intense version of MAC Devil - like this one has more peach-orange tone while Devil has more of a red-orange tone? Seriously looks good. This and Mounia. (not good when I start remembering the names ...)

  8. LOL. Then you want to remember NARS Exhibit A, which is the NARS equivalent of MAC's Devil blush---and compare it to Taj Mahal. I think there is a Torrid too...

    Anyway you might want to see this guy's video on NARS blushers, he was raving about Exhibit A I think... you tube user name awoz (he is a NARS mua)

  9. nooooo! Am not going down that slippery slope of watching youtube videos on these! It'll just make the lemming worse! I was searching your blog to find the name of the seller you got your NARS from - you did right? not the same girl who does YSL right?

  10. I didn't buy NARS on ebay...
    I only got one NARS blush (mata hari) from someone who emailed me directly.
    All the rest are from friends and family and myself who managed to get to a NARS counter.
