I think Sabrina applied it with a really heave hand. I'm much lighter than her and it doesn't look like that on me. I apply a little with a damp Beauty Blender and it looks natural. It is super pigmented so you have to be careful when applying.
Thanks! Good to know it can be done! I know it's hard as a blogger though -- she needs to show the color to her readers. I apply my blush so lightly that I often ask myself why I bother to own so many shades. Even I can't tell the difference between one coral and another or one pink and another on myself by the time I'm done! lol

Hot Tin Roof simulates what a rosacea flush looks like on me, so looking at that pic of Sabrina literally makes my cheeks hurt.
Dying :rofl:

I don’t have mine yet. Despite ordering on the first day, pretty much when the email went out. I’m pretty ghostly, so I’ll let you know if I ever get it.

That said, my experience with liquid orgasm leads me to agree...she used way too much. I think she noted that. It sounded like she didn’t love the color, so I’m guessing she didn’t want to redo everything to take a better picture.

That’s why my blush collection is actually relatively modest! And I only have six bronzers! If only I could learn that lesson about highlighters! :roflmao:

I agree - it can go from 'just right' to over the top very quickly. How do you apply your liquid blush? I've tried brush, fingers, and damp sponge. I find the sponge give me the best and easiest application.

the one that we think it is actually a photo of the old collection? because she never posted article about it on her blog nor she responded my question if she just used the old photo from another collection

Yeah, that's the one.
I was wondering if it was a real collection or if it was a mistake.

Expanded my NARS Spring 2018 collection with the addition of Free Soul and Hells Gate. I’m so happy Blue Mercury had them and I was able to swatch. I have NO idea how Free Soul could be used as a blush on anyone but, as a highlighter, it’d amazing. The texture is so smooth.

I got mine at Blue Mercury too and they were having a special 15% off promotion which made it even sweeter!

I agree about Free Soul! I absolutely love it. I love to use it just on nekked skin with no other makeup. So pretty.

Do you use it as a blush?

Wore Hells Gate yesterday and 3 of my coworkers commented how nice it looked. I think they were just surprised to see me in a darker lipstick.

Oh how I love my NARS reds! I have one of the first Lip Covers, Members Only and really like the formula.
Hell Gate is on my lust list...but I have to get over the name...not my cup of ":tee: ..."

Yes & no lol. I use it high on my cheekbones & down on the cheeks just a little. It mostly is just a bit of pretty glow to the skin. I find it to be quite flattering on my skin. I want to get HG & the pink lipgloss.
