What I am planning to buy:
Sin/Casino duo

Lokoum (cream)
Turkish red (cream)
Maui/Palm Beach muliple duo

Items that I want or can substitute for something above:

Cactus Flower is really pretty its like a red and orange together... i would have to look at it again but when I swatched it on my hand it seemed to be two toned.. its really pretty , but it looks like a dewy glowy face look not really a matte thing

Im also a blush addicted , i hated it before but it's because I didn't know how to apply or i didnt have the right colours . But now i have 12 NARS , 4 MAC , and i believe 10 or 12 jordana blushes. I think they complete EVERY look.

which ones have you decided on?

I got :
Dolce Vita
Sin
Desire
Mata Hari
Taos
Taj Mahal
Torrid
Exhibit A
Mounia
Outlaw
Cactus Flower
Crazed

Deep Throat is the one I would recommend.

I also have Orgasm, Sin and Angelika - which I never use and will be selling soon. I like the look of Luster so might bag that next time I go shopping.

do you mean if nars has any dupe for dollymix ?
angelika - is a baby pink but has glitter
mata hari - is a purplish pink ... not too purple- matte
desire - is a cottoncandy pink - matte

I'm NC40/42 and it does show if I apply two coats with the 116 brush. Otherwise I have applied it lightly as a highlight over bronzer.

I dont there is a Dollymix dupe... Angelika is totally different, I know that for sure.

Okay , so im gonna get torrid , but I want one more , but im totally unsure , theres so many gorgous ones out there!
edit: after see'ing a couplr of pics of torrid I kinda changed my mind.. I think I want outlaw instead.. But I want one more blush

Get Torrid! Although Outlaw is great too. I like them both, but it took some tinkering to get Torrid to work for me.

it all depends on what sort of colours you are looking for . For me i like noticeable blushes not anything that is similar to my skin colour - waste of time

I really like peachy , pink and like really fresh colours if you know what I mean, but still dark enough to show up on my skin.

So torrid, gilda, gina , outlaw and taos are all nice fresh-y colours

ooh..I wonder if I should add Dolce Vita to my basket instead of my wish list. Is that like a deep rose color? where did you find Mounia? it's only on the NARS website not on Sephora

 

[just_jill325]

which one would show up more on my NC42 skin? Luster or Silvana?
