This look quite pretty, but seem to run light for the most part. Good for me, at least.
Make Me Believe looks right on the mark for my complexion and a great travel compact. Added to the wish list, pending your review. .?
Looks nice on you but definitely too light for me
I like what I see here!
Pretty, but very heavy on the pink and red. Would’ve been nice if they added in some other colors ( nude brown, peach, purple, berry, etc ) but hey, at least no Orgasm blush or Laguna bronzer
Cute sets. I just bought the dual intensity blush palette so I think I’ good on blush.
Don’t forget to ‘prime’ it with a stiffer brush, otherwise it’ll never get going. Once going, it’s a classic. Know you’ll use #3 a lot, but you’ll be surprised how good 2 & 4 are on cooler skin.
Well…I definitely own enough red lipsticks as is, and almost all the blushes run too light for me.
Although, I *could* envision Outlaw and Devotee making for a really lovely winter cheek combo on me!
These are pretty enough but they’re both so similar (and very, very light!) – why not a coral/warm palette with a deep nude or terracotta lip pencil? Or some berry shades with a purple? Or… just about anything else!
Some of the blushes look a bit powdery and dusty too. I expect NARS to be better then this, hopefully they have other options in their holiday sets, because all I see is a bunch of meh.
FINALLY a blush palette without Orgasm! I might have to check these out!
The Golshan Satin Lip Pencil is the best part of this palette. It is very pretty but everything else is too light & blah for me anyway. I don’t know why but I never seem to be drawn to anything from Nars. I probably should try something someday but nothing has ever caught my eye even in the store.
I’m so pale most blush palettes veer way too dark so it’s really nice to see a couple of options for me!
Already have enough of a smattering of the perm blush shades to make these light similar palettes less than appealing. Would rather hit up the single with lavender/peach. Now THAT’s more unusual. Still surprised that I haven’t fallen for Golshan..gotta review your review…prob have 5 dupes. That color family is my true downfall, both in blush and lip. Always glad when I can rule out things.
These look really nice! I will have to wait for your review to see how they perform 🙂
I could easily buy both of these and be so very happy. Thanks for the swatches.
So pretty, but I worry they might be too light for me.
Hi!
Please could you confirm us if outlaw is the same individual blush? I mean sometimes the name is the same but the color or the shine is not exactly like the individual blusher.
Thank you in advance and best regards from Spain!
