Nars Holiday 2014

[hitchcockblonde]

I think you and I will be on the same boat. I thought I might get the Roman Holiday Set too since I'm a sucker for pinky blushes so I don't think I can resist.

We are!

Although now that I'm looking at Karen's swatches I kind of like Gabon as well. Hmmm...

Is it weird that I wish the pattern was behind the NARS lettering on the products? I don't know why but it's irking me. xD The purple shadow looks gorgeous in Karen's swatch... hboy:

Karen has the blush palette and the cheek and eye palette:

If it's darker than Oasis and a warm-toned version of Dolce Vita, I can totally pass.

and DARKER than Softcore

! I have to be very careful with that one if i dont want to look like a clown!
I love such shades though and still might end up with it but def swatch before at store now!

Wow - it's very close to Hidden Treasure. Guess I'll pass. I love that color but I don't need 2 of them. I'll never make it through the first one.

Wait a minute. The blush isn't a regular size?

It looks smaller than a regular one. If it is, I skip it.

I asked T in the comments so we'll see if she'll answers. I hope it's normal size as the nail polish and lipstick look normal. If it's mini I might skip too.

I think just the lip pencil set and Gabon for me. I was thinking about the blush palette, because I want Final Cut, but it's dumb to buy a palette for one blush. But I really want that Final Cut.... Lol

Ahhhh really? How did I miss that? Thank you! I will skip the blush palette and order the single ASAP!

@hitchcockblonde Check this out. I got it from my source and it's a mini blush.

I'll skip it and it means I'll skip the Nars entire holiday collection.

Thanks for this! T just posted it in the swatch gallery here:

Looks like .12 oz/3.5 g to the regular .16 oz/4.8 g. If it sticks around for the F&F sale I'll pick it up then and just sell the lipstick and np or give them away. I think this is the only thing I'll get from holiday. Although I might get an eyeshadow.

Isn't it the same size as the Orgasm mini blush?

It's the same size as my deluxe sample mini Orgasm and Deep Throat blushes that I got from Sephora in two different 500 point sets. Which is fine with me, I have a hell of a lot of blushes and will never get through them all anyway.

I don't prefer mini blushes. I don't know why exactly but I think it's hard to organize them with Nars normal ones and hard to use them because they're small based on my experience.

I can understand that and I really do wish they had done a full sized blush and skipped the np. For me, my Marc Jacobs blush brush fits perfectly in the minis and I just have all my blushes in a drawer in my Helmer, not really organized at all so it doesn't bother me as much.

Mini brushes are not my fav either and are awkward to hold and use. When I'm applying color to my cheeks I want a full-size brush.
