Albatross is a great highlighter!
Pretty 🙂
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!
Wow! Talk about a NARS collection 😉
These titles are so suggestive, but they have good reason too. These a beautiful!
Haha!
On MakeupAlley, ‘Exhibit A’ blush was affectionately referred to as, ‘orange a*s’. IDK why – but it was.
LOL. I think it’s pretty when used lightly 🙂
Crazed is probably my favourite – I still don’t know why they would put mega chunks of glitter in Super Orgasm.
No idea :/
This also reminds me I’ve been meaning to buy Serato for over a year now!
Get it!
you. are. amazing!
thank you! 🙂
Thanks 😛
I have Orgasm 🙂 Deep Throat looks really pretty as well.
I like it more than Orgasm, ha!
im lemming Nico now, soo beautiful!
Nico is a great subtle highlighter/finisher!
christine have you ever used taj mahal or exhibit a in a look? i’m curious to see how it looks…
the sertao, madly and lovejoy trio looks really nice…
I don’t own either, sorry 🙁
Thank you!!!
No prob!
Wow those are gorgeous. Taj Mahal and Exhibit A really really stand out! I’m tempted to go try them on w/ a skunk brush now.
Definitely give ’em a shot!
nars blushes are always gorgeous….im trying to build up my collection!!
Which do you have so far?
Holy crap, Exhibit A and Taj Mahal are ridiculously bright @_@
With a light hand, SUPER subtle on cheeks 😀
LUSTER, OUTLAW & GILDA looks beautiful!
Luster is love!
Torrid, Crazed, and Luster just caught my attention! Currentyl, I only own Orgasm and Dolce Vita.
Dolce Vita is gorg! I have that one, too. Love it!
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

im just wondering what blush do you think would look best on me?
im going to buy one and i just dont know
I think MAC Margin would be gorgeous on you!!
thank you 🙂 i shall try it out
any ideas on lipstick?
Try something coral-y!
Christine i would really love to know which Nars blushes you like the best!!!
Deep Throat, Dolce Vita
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?
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.
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!
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.
Has more of an orange-y copper look to it than Style, which is more peachy-orange on me.
can i use nars blushes as eyeshadow? like the heavily pigmented nars crazed? is it save? thank you christine!
They may have pigments in it that are not eye-safe!
thank you for replying ! 🙂 i think i wont use it in my eyes then LOL
You might try emailing NARS customer service to ask 🙂
Christine do you think torrid is a good dupe for ripe peach?
I think it’s a decent dupe 🙂
I’m NC30 with a olive complexion. Asian Singaporean Chinese here.
Any ideas for a first NARS blush?
TIA Christine!
Try Deep Throat or Dolce Vita.
I asked my friend to buy me both Torrid and Dolce Vita as I already have Orgasm (:
Oasis looks so muddy in this picture! =/
But Albatross looks hot! 😛
MSo I’m going to buy my first nars blush and I cannot pick which one to start out with I’m an nc45 and I was thinking sin or dolce vita maybe even exhibit a
Sin & Dolce Vita would be lovely for sure.
i bought dolce vita like 2 days ago 😀 thanks for the help
Hi Christine,
Do you know of a MAC blush that dupes the Desire? Maybe one that is only at pro or coming out as a repromote?
Well Dressed or Pink Swoon would be the closest ones.
nico, orgasm, luster and torrid look pretty
which is a nicer shade nars orgasm or smashbox blush rush in paradise?
Paradise, IMO!
anyone know the difference between sertao and madly?
Hey Christine!
Could Nico or Zen be contours for someone REALLY PALE.
(I use mac face and body in white)
=D Love the swatches btw
Yep!
Do you know if Sertao is discontinued? Do you know any dupe for it?
I have no idea!
hi is the glitter in angelika silver or is it more gold? gosh i hate gold glitter. ty
Silver
nicco looks like the perfect highlighter!
Does anyone know of an excellent dupe for NARS Crazed? TIA.
i wanted to ask the same thing as well. i recently bought thebalm cabana boy… christine, do you think the colors are similar?
Hi Christine, Is Luster similar to Margin(which I bought after reading your reviews and am loving it ) ?
I’ve used my NARS blushes as eyeshadow and haven’t had a problem. I actually like them quite a lot because they stay put. Taj Mahal looks extra gorgeous as an eyeshadow. 🙂
I want Deep Throat, Orgasm and Torrid! I only have a handful of NARS items and I love them all!
Hello I noticed that you have swatches for majority of Nars blushes but do you have any that you put on yourself to see how it will compliment or help me decide what is suitable in my complexion. I recently purchased Nars blush in Sin. Im a light to medium complexion skin tone.
Hi Thalia!
Just look under our “NARS” category and you’ll find plenty of blush reviews!
