This hurts my heart....i should get a backup but that dang blush will last me forever and a day.

i got taj mahal today , that color is the !@#$%^ bomb diggity ! i kinda had doubts , but i had to get it . i actually wanted orgasm because i see so many people had it and it doesn't even show up on my skin . and there are so many other colors i need to try out , and i love the packaging it's so sexy, that thing is pricey though sheesh !

i just read the few posts above me , really , how can they discontinue such a pretty blush? and the lady told me i bought the last one too !

TAJ MAHAL is my new love. <3

I just recieved mine via FedEx about 45 mins. ago and I took some shots of it! They're posted in the Swatch thread for NARS products! Go look!

Btw I'm an NC40 for reference and I think that this color will pop and look beautiful on any skin tone!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omgomgomgomgomgomgomg i cannot wait to abuse the hell out of it this fall. it's the first NARS product i own and i'm in love. i plan on getting more blushes and a couple of the matte velvet pencils (loooooove them), but i have way too much else to pay for, so they'll have to wait.

Taj Mahal isn't discontinued. It's just no longer available at Sephora.
You can still purchase it from NARS or Beauty.com

I like Frisky Summer lipgloss and Orgasm blush!

 

[MAHALO]

BLUSHBABY ... NARS GINA arrived. It is drop dead gorgeous on me ... much nicer than MAC Peaches. Although MAC PEACHES and NARS GINA look similar in the pan. NARS swatches much better. It's more pigmented but not so much that you have to apply it cautiously. I also purchased NARS GILDA ...equally gorgeous. Now I have 4 NARS blushes.

Taj Mahal looks great on me! I have to use a very light hand. Whew, u ladies weren't exaggerating when u said it was pigmented!

Hey Mahalo, if u don't mind me asking wats ur colouring in MAC? I was wondering bcuz I'm an NW45 and was wondering if Gina and/or Gilda would show up on my skin since I've been looking for a matte orangey/peachy blush for my skintone and I already own Taj Majal...

I'm NW45 and debated between Gina or Gilda but went with Gina and love it. Also Amour is love (pun intended).

I'm MAC NC45 and BB GOLDEN (best). Both Gina and Gilda show well on me. They are pigmented enough to show on NW45. Both blushes are gorgeous. But I find myself reaching for GINA more often.

Im an NW50 and I LOVE Exhibit A!!! It looks like someone pinched my cheeks really hard. It gives that blushing apperance on me. I love it!!

 

[jazmatazz]

I purchased Taj Mahal last week and it's amazing, really happy with it. This is the most pigmented blush I own and you really just need the teensiest bit to get a great glow.

For reference, I'm NC43 and I purchased it at Nordstrom. Didn't see it on the Nordie's website, but they had it at the Nars counter there.

 

[sugypop1]

I love NARS blush in desire, taj mahal, and gilda. I'm really wanting Gina now.

 

[highonmac]

OH us woc ladies can play with almost all nars blushes IMO. I really love lovejoy, taj mahal, mata hari, gina, dolce vita...or the list goes on. Taj Mahal really looks like a peachy warm glow but at all orange

 

[Lapis]

So I've been scared of Taj Mahal since I find I gravitate towards matte low key cheeks and it's not matte or low key looking but I got it today and I'm in LOVE! Very nice flush to the cheeks not near as scary as I thought it would be

 

[AnjaNicole]

I have:
Outlaw
Exhibit A
Taj Mahal
Albatross
Cactus Flower

So far I am LOVING THEM ALL

 

[Glitterati*]

Just got Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Barcelona (MAC NC40), Praline concealer and Viridiana lipstick which I really like!

I also own Torrid, Orgasm & Albatross Duo plus Orgasm lipgloss.

So far I am loving all my Nars purchases, I think Mac is getting a run for their money!

Any suggestions out there for more lipstick colors that you recommend! I think I would like to get a few more!

I tried Taj Majal at Nordstroms a week ago and contrary to the opinion of most other black women, I hated the way Taj Majal looked on me. I'm a C7 in Mac Studio Fix and I've heard women lighter than me and darker than me speak about their love for Taj Majal. I'm too scared to buy it because it looked so orange on my face.

My fav Nars product is Albatross blush as a highlighter. It was the missing link to a perfectly done face for me. Totally lights up the face.
