NARS blushes for WOC

[MzBrownBeauty]

I still haven't tried a cream blush for the same reason of being intimidated. But I think I want to get all of the powder blushes on my list first before trying a cream. I'm not sure why, though.

I have NARS Lokoum and I adore it. It gives my cheeks a nice rosy/coral glow. I have ALOT of NARS blushes on my list that I want:

1. Exhibit A
2. Cactus Flower
3. Mata Hari
4. Crazed
5. Taos
7. Torrid

I saw your list of NARS blushes that you own! Impressive!

Aw really? That's too bad. I love Taj Mahal. I don't have any Sleek blush, but I like to use La Femme's Orange matte blush and then layer Taj Mahal over it like a highlighter. It's a really pretty effect. Maybe you can try doing that with Aruba and Taj Mahal to see how you like it.

Ohhh...good idea. I'll try that over the weekend and see how it works! I'll let you know. I've heard great things about La Femme blushes; highly pigmented and the cost is unbelievable. Which ones do you have and/or recommend.

I'm a big fan of La Femme blush as well! I think I have all of them except for 10 colors. There's only a few more colors I want to get. I started with one palette from makeupmania.com, then got a 2nd one later on and then a third one a few months after that. I opted to get the palette because I thought it was a better value.

Here's my La Femme Blush List. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any color you choose. But if you're only getting one palette, I would pick the following colors to get the most variety. It was really hard to select only these colors. I kept wanting to add more!

Terracotta
Russet
Indian Rose
Magenta
Golden Rose
Purple Passion
Bordeaux
Plum Frost
Golden Sunset
Brick Red
Cinnabar
Sunkissed Dawn

I've thought about getting La Femme blushes in Magenta, Cinnabar, Terracotta and Bordeaux! I'll look at the palettes since its a better deal. BTW, I tried Taj Mahal as a highlight with Aruba blush and it is beautiful! I've been wearing the color combo all week. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm so glad I didn't have to waste Taj Mahal it gives the best highlight and glow!

Thanks! I couldn't help myself. They're all so pretty.

Ok...so in my last post I was determined to purchase La Femme blushes but I kind of got side tracked because of beauty.com this week! I ordered two NARS blushes (Torrid and Dolce Vita) and received 20% off! I'm not sure if it was a glitch or something but I went back today to get two more (as if I need to be spending money on anything beauty related!) and it wouldn't take 20% off. I ended up reading the fine print and the sale wasn't suppose to include NARS.

Torrid and Dolce Vita are beautiful. I also took advantage of the sale and got two NARS blushes. Outlaw and Gina. I didn't see anything about NARS being excluded in the fine print I read. You should call them.

You right! I just saw a link from another beauty blog and decided to try it again and it worked!! I just bought Luster and Lovejoy!! (I got Lovejoy as a back up since I hit pan) I'm not sure why a page kept popping up stating that NARS, Urban Decay, Philosophy etc. wasn't included? Strange.

I was torn between Gina, Gilda and Torrid they're all so pretty! My next NARS blush purchase although not for a long, long time will either be Gina or Gilda. I just saw a swatch of Outlaw and you picked a gorgeous color! Please come back and let me know how you like them. Did you purchase anything else?

I have several Nars blushes

Oasis
Super Orgasm
Gaiety
Amour
Douceur
Sex Appeal
Deep throat
Angelika

Maybe Desire ? It looks gorgeous.

Nars blushes are very pretty but I think I have enough, considering that I have many other blushes from different brands. I much prefer to order 2 blushes from Ilamasqua and 1 from Tom Ford I must say ! But I do love my Nars blushes too !

Glad you got the discount to work! Wow, you've hit pan? I don't see that happening to me for a very long time. I'm waiting to receive a Sephora gift card and will buy Luster, Albatross and Amour as soon as I get it.

You can't go wrong with either of those choices. Torrid has shimmer. Gina and Gilda are both matte. Gilda is darker than Gina and more coral. Gina is more of an apricot color. I wasn't going to get Gina because I thought it was too light when I first swatched it a while ago. I changed my mind because I think the color will still work to brighten my face and give a natural glow effect. I don't expect the color to be visible, just a glow. Gina should be delivered on Monday. I already received Outlaw and love it. It's a very soft and pretty flush of rose on my cheeks.

The only other thing I bought from Beauty.com are Lip Tars. I got Harlot, Butch and Banjee. I've become addicted to Lip Tars just like NARS blush! I'm trying to reach Sephora VIB status, so I only bought NARS blush and Lip Tar colors from Beauty.com that Sephora didn't have or was out of stock. I ordered more Lip Tars and a set during Sephora's sale. I wish I had my gift card then to also get the blush I want with 20% off.

I'd like to know what you think of your blush when you get them.

I'm trying my best to ignore Tom Ford. I don't think I'm ready to start purchasing from that brand yet.

Crazed is discontinued. That's why you're having a hard time finding it. You may be able to get one at allcosmeticswholesale.com if you're lucky. They get a few in stock occasionally. That's where I got mine last year.

I picked up Lovejoy from the Sephora sale. I think I got it based on recommendations from this thread so thanks everyone. I also had Mata Hari and Exhibit A on my list, but decided Lovejoy would be the priority for now. I also picked up 4 NARS brushes from Beauty.com and I can't wait to try them. I got the Yachiyo, Ita, Small Dome, and Smudge brushes.

Please report how you like the brushes. I've had my eye on Yachiyo for quite some time. I was surprised that Sephora only has 1 NARS brush, and that it's not Yachiyo. Lovejoy is such a pretty bronze color. I'm going to put it on now. I don't think I've worn it in a while.

 

[MissTT]

I know. It's so weird that Sephora only carries the Botan brush. What gives?

 

[vplove]

I know that its been discontinued, just hoping that someone had an inside of where I can find it! UGH!!! I will monitor the website you recommended! Thanks for that by the way!!!

I have seven NARS Blushes. They are: Taj Mahal Exhibit A Torrid Dolce Vita Gina Outlaw Mounia I regret not keeping crazed. I was put off by its bright color due to my application at the time. Mounia is her quieter sister. If I had my Yachiyo brush at the time I probably would have kept it. This brush applies the perfect amount of blush each time.

Those are great choices. I'm definitely picking up the Yachiyo brush during the next Beauty.com Friends & Family sale. Or sooner if they have a similar sale during Black Friday or the holidays.

I have Gina. This blush creates such a soft and pretty look. It's very natural and adds a nice warmth with subtle color to the face. I like it a lot.

Albatross and Amour were delivered yesterday. At this point, it should be no surprise what I think of them.

I've wanted Albatross for a very long time. For whatever reason, it would always be sold out at the times I tried to purchase it. I'm happy that it didn't disappoint. The gold sheen is beautiful and blended nicely with my blush. I can see myself using it as an all over face highlighter. I still need to get Luster to compare since I intend to use it as a highlighter as well. That's another blush I've wanted for a while that always seems to sell out on me. Amour is described as a "peachy pink" and it leaned slightly more pink when applied to my cheeks. It'll be good for when I want a very soft and pretty look.
