  1. OUtlaw, Crazed, Albatross, & Nico look nice.

  2. Sarah says:

    Beautiful! I already own at least half of these. but still want more. NARS is one lethal obsession!

    Your other post has got me lusting after some cream blushes too, i have enough of the powder ones, but I know I’ll be giving in to the cream ones too! Doh!

  3. These titles are so suggestive, but they have good reason too. These a beautiful!

  4. On MakeupAlley, ‘Exhibit A’ blush was affectionately referred to as, ‘orange a*s’. IDK why – but it was.

  5. cloudburst says:

    Crazed is probably my favourite – I still don’t know why they would put mega chunks of glitter in Super Orgasm.

  6. cloudburst says:

    This also reminds me I’ve been meaning to buy Serato for over a year now!

  7. Pollyanna says:

    albatross is my favorite highlighter,finally got my hands on orgasm which i wear everyday because it’s such a beautiful color. I want to try angelika but it might be a little too bright for me. I’m a NC20

    Christine i would really love to know which Nars blushes you like the best!!!

  20. Ann says:

    Will you review, photo, and swatch the limited edition NARS Loves San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge Blush/Highlighter? Or if anyone has tried it, can you tell us if it’s worth buying or not?

    • Christine says:

      I won’t be doing any review on it, but for reference – Angel Island is the left side of the Marienbad Eyeshadow Duo. The Haight Ashbury Duo is the same as Ireland Eyeshadow Duo. The Alamo Nail polish is Boccacio nail polish.

  21. Lurique says:

    Hi Christine,

    I got my first Nars blush yesterday, I got Deep Throat, and I absolutely love it:D
    Thanks so much for the advice!

  22. chrystyna says:

    I was thinking about getting “Torrid” but i was wondering if it is any similar to “Style” by MAC, which is a blush i already have.

  23. gerberairis says:

    can i use nars blushes as eyeshadow? like the heavily pigmented nars crazed? is it save? thank you christine!

  24. melissa says:

    Christine do you think torrid is a good dupe for ripe peach?

  25. Christina says:

    I’m NC30 with a olive complexion. Asian Singaporean Chinese here.

    Any ideas for a first NARS blush?

    TIA Christine!
