To my Desi/South Asian sisters out there! And everyone else too, actually! :)

^^ I agree, I am wearing Orgasm over MAC Harmony blusher today and its a really pretty combo!

 

[animacani]

Has anyone here tried Stila convertible color? Im thinking of getting it in Petunia! It looks really pretty!

 

[frocher]

^They are gorgeous, I like all the colors I have tried. They are prettier on the cheeks than the lips imo.

 

[animacani]

^ Thanks! I have a friend whos going to the US. Do you guys have any of what I should tell her to get for me? Im thinking about getting stuff from brands like stila, benefit , nars etc. Also MAC is half price there ,yaayy

Has anyone tried out benefits ''posietint''?

 

[nunu]

To the girls who love NARS...

I added Taos to my blusher collection

I initially went to get Torrid but it was out of stuck

Now i have, Orgasm, Outlaw, Super Orgasm and Taos.
I was drawn to Mounia, Desire and another one i can't remember but they were sold out on them too.

 

[DirtyPlum]

^^girl, you need you some Deep Throat and Luster too!

 

[nunu]

^Thank you!!! If they weren't out of stock i would've looked at them.
Definately adding them to my list!!
What others do you reccomend?

By the way, i wanted to tell you that after months of trying to make studio finish work for me, it finally did today

Hey Nunu

I'm NC42 and I LOVE my Nars blushes! I have Desire (one of my faves), Taos, Torrid, Gilda, Oasis, Taj Mahal, and Sertao.

I think absolute musts are Desire, Taos, & Torrid. So now you have to add Desire & Torrid to your collection!

I also love Gilda. It's VERY similar to Torrid but its a matte color vs the shimmer. It works the best on my skintone. But Desire is definitely my all-time favorite.

animacani - I have a Stila Convertible in Gerbera. I love the color but I have a little bit of a hard time blending it on my skin. I use a stippling brush and it works great. I love putting my Torrid blush over it.

,,,,,,

 

[highonmac]

Nunu - you need dolce vita lol, i think i keep telling every one this hehe, torrid to once it is available. It looks blah when swatched but on the cheeks its stunning

 

[animacani]

Is desire/mata hari similar to dollymix from MAC?

Awesome!!! How did u make it work?

I would personally only recommend the shimmery nars blushers over the matte ones. I bought gina which is matte n feel I have to work hard just tp make it look well blended... So mac peaches is a good dupe for that. Also u won't need sertao if u have luster.

Thanks frocher I'm gonna try using orgasm as a highlight I was so disapointed when it didn't show up well on me. I ended up getting dolce vita and I love it... i don't recall seeing mounia at sephora/nars stall but will check it out next time Thanks again!

I guess i just needed to warm it up more and layer it on

Besides the 217 layers it on really well, i like it. At the end i just add a bit of nc42 moisture cover to brighten it up

Thanks highonmac, Zerin all you ladies that helped me! Yeah I swatched ofsummer on my finger and it looked soooo nice but when I put it on my hand it didn't show up at all

As for blushes i ended up getting: cantaloupe, desert rose and gingerly and from sephora/nars counter: dolce vita, torrid (love), sin, taos and zen.
Thanks alot guys w/out your suggestions I probably would have gotten something too light

desire is a cotton candy pink more blue based
mata hari is purply pink which is also blue based
dollymix is candy pink but it is red based. There is a big difference between the three. Hope this helps

So yesterday I was killing time at the mall and went of course to Mac! I was checking on the blushes, Peachtwist is really nice, Peachykeen is more pink than peach.

Can anyone tell me if Cargo Rome is similar to Peachtwist? I absolutely loved this, I think I will go back and get it.

The MUA recommended sweet as cocoa for brown skin tones she said it looks different in the pan than on the cheeks, does anyone have this one and what do you think of it?

The Style Warriors collection is not out yet!!!!!!

[zerin]

Style Warriors is coming out on Thursday in stores. (Canada) I think some stores will have an event to go along with it. I know Yorkdale has it for sure this Thursday.

 

[Ziya]

God I am so excited! I've never gone for an event or an appt and hopefully we be doing that on Thursday! Rome sounds like Peaches and a touch of golden irredescent powder..
