Ingenue - Gorgeous! And how stunning is the brush set. It's like the brushes for writing calligraphy. Bet I'll feel like an artist when I use them, how cool is that!

Thanks! The brushes are just.. BEYOND. The eyeshadow brush is like nothing I've used... and I'm a huge fan of tapered one (the one that starts with a Y, whose name escapes me right now).

Oh poop. I mainly love New Order for the pink and while I love glitter, this one is enough for me. Looks like I'll pass.

lol. i happen to be strangely attracted to the glitter in new order and miss liberty. I swatched both and I saw that it just leaves small glitters on the cheek....which I could go for from time to time. but the base colors seemed like they would go ashy on me....is that not your experience? How do you wear it? I would LOVE to justify purchasing this blusher

I have a couple and use them quite a bit. I actually keep South Beach in my purse at all time for quick touch ups when I need a bit of colour (especially in winter when more colour is needed). I apply them straight from the tube and blend with fingers. They're my fave multi-tasking products.

I soooo want that Trio and Joyous red lipstick!
I would love to get a multiple...but I haven't decided on color. I have so many bronze golden tan colors in other formulas so I didn't know if I should get south beach or go for something a little bit different. I just need to make sure it will flatter. I simply ADORE shopping for make up :)

I had an appointment a few days ago at the NARS counter at John Lewis on Oxford Street in London with some girlfriends, where one of the regular artists did skin/foundation/etc, then they had a special artist in for the event who did the color portion... I think his name was Federiko? Anyway, he was lovely and did a really gorgeous look using Mandchourie but he did something I never would've thought to do and used Ponderosa as a base first, then put the darker blue shade through the outer V and under the lid, then the lighter color kind of all over. Not the best quality of pictures, but if any of you have both products definitely try them together!
