yes it does suck! lol I love the colors NARS has. I tried my fingers and a brush with the lipsticks but not with the glosses. oh well...just gives me an excuse to buy chanel and ysl lippies.I I'm going to find a thread on that next
OH and because you guys talked it up so much I went and purchased GINA blusher! The counter in Nordstrom's didn't have in stock so I will get it by mail. The MA at the Nars counter saw the color and she was hesitant to try it on me. And then when she saw that it showed up (after I told her to just blend it out) she said OH. I would have never thought to show you this color...lol. Not poking fun at this girl because there was definitely a time when I wouldn't have looked at the color either...but then again, I do not work at a make up counter... ;P UPDATE: so gina....when i first applied it, I couldn't see gina at all. those darn dept store lights! lol it looked really pigmented in the store. So I started researching how my similarly toned gina havers wear this color. SO now when i apply it, I don't expect to see much. It really does warm up the skin. gives a little soft something that really does look pretty. $27 pretty? IDK. I really have to dig in there and get the color but I guess that's ok as long as I like the outcome. I packed it up to return but I think I might keep it. Gonna try it out a little more. i also tried it with a little taj mahal on top. Oh that was a good look. it turned up gina and toned down the taj mahal. how much blush should you have to pack on before you return it and look for a more suitable shade?
