Btw does anybody have a problem with accessing Temptalia? Whenever I try to access, it takes ages for me to see her site for the past few days. :s

I'd pair it with Paris Follies LTL lipgloss.

Review of Rotonde from Temptalia:
http://www.temptalia.com/nars-rotonde-high-voltage-blush-review-photos-swatches

A NARS Pierre Hardy blush is 0.45oz (13g) when a regular blush is 0.16oz (4.8g).

She gave it an A. But I think that based on her review, it's an A+ product. She gave it 9/10 for longevity, but when a blush lasts 8+ hours on me and only shows subtle signs of fading after that, it's an A+++++++ in my book.

Hmm...Can you believe T said Rotonde is darker than Taj Mahal?
I have Taj Mahal and it's already dark enough. And based on her swatch, it looks brighter than Taj Mahal unlike what she said.

If it's really darker than TM, it's not the blush for my pale skintone.

That is a lot of product.

I can't imagine it being darker than Taj Mahal. TM has almost a burnt orange quality to it, which makes it darker. Rotonde seems brighter though. I think I need a side by side comparison.

The blushes are gorgeous but they're the size of three! I think that would be great for anyone who doesn't already have a couple of dozen; as it is I'll likely never hit pan on the regular sized versions. I'm going to do my best to skip (pending a moment of jonesing for my fix).

Tell me about it!
I found some swatches of TM to compare and I still don't think it's lighter than Rotonde. The more I compare them, the more I feel it doesn't make sense at all!

Lol, I wore Taj Mahal today to see, even with a light hand (that trusty Yachiyo) the colour comes out darker than how T's Rotonde swatch. Maybe she just got mixed up with wording. I will say though, after T's swatches, I might have to save up and possibly get both of these blushes. They are so pretty and probably will last me a lifetime (if you think of it like that, it seems so practical).

Temptalia said Boys Don't Cry is available at Barney's but I don't see it. Could it be gone already? I hope this doesn't turn into madness. I was going to order that and Rotonde, but I might just wait until I can get both at once and get my pain and suffering over with.
