MAJOR NYC Haul Rec: A NARS Question

[revinn]

Alright ladies,
I'm going to New York this April with my school band. We went when I was in grade 10 as well, but weren't given any time shopping anywhere but Maine (where I go all the time). This year, we've been given a bunch of shopping time near multiple Sephora stores!! I'm beyond excited to visit Sephora for the first time, and I've made a list of all the things I want; however, I can't decide between a few NARS blushes, so I was hoping that I could get some guidance. I want to buy no more then three of the following:
-Cream Blush – Cactus Flower
-Cream Blush – Penny Lane
-Blush – Orgasm
-Blush – Deep Throat
-Blush – Gilda
-Blush - Oasis
-Blush - Nico
-Blush - Gina

So yeah, I'd like your picks for three of those choices. I'm an NC-15 (cool undertones, but I use the NC because it's the lightest), with red hair and blue eyes. Thanks so much guys!

I found Nico just the slightest bit boring, it's a very neutral, light color that could presumably be used as a highlight. For me though, it was just a touch too flat, if that makes any sense. It didn't really highlight much of anything, the shimmer was less noticeable than in your average MSF, to give you a comparison. I might be too harsh, I've pretty into very dewy, or shiny looking highlighters. If you want a more subtle highlight, Nico might be just the thing!

I'm around your skintone I think, a little lighter than NC15, and I really like Orgasm. I use it with my 187, and I can build up if I so desire. Usually it only takes one go through for the peachy-glow of Orgasm to be radiating, haha.

If I were you, I'd buy:
-Orgasm
-Cactus Flower (I'm curious myself!)
-Gina (never tried, heard good things)

I think Orgasm would look gorgeous on you

Cactus Flower is very pretty. Gina would be too orange for you. Orgasm is such a has been, really. Nico looks beautiful and peachy on pale skins. Luster and Crazed are worth checking outtoo-they both have some nice rose in them. Angelika is a great pink that looks good on cool skins.

Of those I'd get Deep Throat over Orgasm, Gilda over Gina, and Cactus Flower over Penny Lane.
