Favorite NARS products for WOC

[Sass]

Now I'm extra excited about getting my Taj Mahal in the mail. I ordered two on Friday and they are currently out for delivery.

I wasn't into blush at all until I saw an orange blush on ColouredBeautiful on Youtube (she loves NYX Cinnamon so I got that) because it made her skin look so beautiful/glowy/warm and then in the same week Ateyaaa went raving about Taj Mahal and how it's discontinued and she wore it with a look she did from Colour Craft...I waited about a month thinking about spending $25 bucks on a NARS blush when I could spend it on a couple of eyeshadows almost. I ended up ordering two of them because I don't like any other colors on my cheeks except for orange and now I'm just sitting here waiting for them to arrive.

I'm so excited!!!!

What Taj Mahal is discontinued?!?! Well I need to get one! I have Exhibit A, Outlaw, Lovejoy, torrid and Albatross but was thinking of getting Taj later. Could be the fact it costs $60 here rather than $25......I would have gotten the whole collection by now if it was only $25!!

Pravs.

Sephora no longer carries Taj Mahal (or so I was told) but I was able to find it at Nordstroms with no problem.

The NARS website carries Taj Majal, it's just Sephora that doesn't carry it anymore. My Sephora doesn't carry Crazed or Mounia so I just ordered them from the nars website...cant wait for them to come

Once they're here my Nars blush collection will be complete

LOL Still on the fence about Lovejoy and Outlaw tho, those might go back...

Taj Mahal is no longer available on Nars website not available because it's discontinued. I had to order it from Beauty.com. I just got mine in today!! Yay!

 

[openexpression]

Taj Mahal is not discontinued. It is on the Nars website. If it says currently unavailable that means it is temporarily out of stock. As of today (9/22) it is available on the Nars website for purchase.

 

[pravvy]

Well I'm getting one just in case! What you guys have the full blush collections? *green with envy*......btw I love both lovejoy and outlaw.....but again if i had the full collection i think i would be happy!

NARS Taj Mahal is still sold at my Sephora. I just bought it the other day and wore if for the first time yesterday. I got so many compliments, my cheeks were literally glowing. Everyone was like "you've got this peachy glow coming from your cheeks" haha, little do they know.

I cant wait to get more, NARS blushes are so beautiful and well packaged. Next will be Taos, Mounia , Dolce vita, Love Joy, and Cactus Flower.

And Galapagos E/S is so stunning, perfect for Fall and the upcoming holiday season.

I saw that nonchalantbeaut bought the Modern Love e/s palette; does anyone have any idea which of the three new ones (Modern Love, Pleasures of Paris, or Essential Eye palette) would be best for an NC45? I don't want to waste money on something I can't use everyday.

 

[j4lyphe]

So I think I'm gonna return Lovejoy, it just doesnt show up as well on my NW45 skin...cud it be because I just wear it on my bare skin? Since I just bought so many of these NARS blushes, I wear one everyday to school on a bare face because it is hot/humid as hell here in FL, I have oily skin and have yet to find a good oil control moisturizer or light foundation/tinted moisturizer that doesnt melt off my face within 2 hrs....i hate having oily skin, the only comfort I take in it is the fact that I'll have less wrinkling when I'm older LOL

I love the Modern Love palette. It's great if you love neurals as I do. Based on pictures of the Essential Eye palette, it seems to have too many light colors that may be either too sheer or ashy on darker skin. I only like the dark blue and dark brown from the palette.

Taj Mahal is beautiful.

I enjoy Luster and also, Mata Hari

My new favorite Nars product is Mediteranee eyeshadow duo. The first time I wore it I thought I had fallin for the hype and it was possibly returnalbe. Wore it again today and copied a look I saw on someone's blog: the orange color on the lid, the dark brown from my modern love palette in the crease, the gold as a highlighter, lined the bottom lash line with teal pigment from Mac. It is beautiful. You can even see it through my glasses. I am loving Nars shadows.

Add Laguna to the list. Its a good everyday bronzer for my skin tone. It's shimmery golden brown. It doesnt add much brown coloring to my skin right now but, probably will once I lose my color in the winter. Now its just a pretty hint of gold on my cheeks that makes me look healthy without being to made up.

I agree. I LOVE my Modern Love palette. I was tempted to buy the others but they just seemed too light for me. (I am of Indian background, NC40 in MAC).


The Modern Love palette has two amazing browns, a matte black. The purple & pink are too light on their own but with a base (e.g. MAC paintpots such as Indianwood) they come out quite nicely. And Tokyo makes a nice highlight colour - I've even used it on my cheeks

I think this palette is perfect for everyday use: going to work, going from day-to-night after work and even going on vacation.

I'm a Nars virgin, but am going to order two blushes later today of sephora's website (I don't have a sephora near me). I'm going to get a creme blushe and a powder one! So excited!!

I've decided to go with cactus flower for the creme blush.... and cannot decide between two matte powder blushes: dolce vita OR amour??? Which one do you guys recommend?? (I'm NC42-43ish)

 

[Blushbaby]

I can't remember if I've already mentioned this but Gina blush is to die for on my skintone. I've used it non-stop for a month now.

 

[Ladyvirtuous]

Out of all of the products in this line, I absolutely LOVE Casino bronzer. I use it everyday.

 

[mc101]

I have several Nars blushes and I love them all. However, my favorite is Nars LoveJoy I use this blush everyday-- a little of this blush along with albatross used as a highlighter is so beautiful!!!
