NARS blushes - get your hands on them!


The packaging is very subtle, the blusher comes in a flat black compact which includes a little mirror (which is very handy because 9 out of 10 times I forget to take mine with me!). It fits into your handbag/makeup bag easily-less bulky like their competitor MAC which has an almost bubble like container.

They are soft, sheer, pressed powder blushes made with transparent pigments for a soft and sheer look..
The great thing about NARS blushers are that they are very blendable, lightweight, and have amazing colour payoff. A little goes a long way. Also because they are very blendable, even if you are quite heavy-handed it is very difficult to acheive that "over application" horrible "clown look" with these products (let's face it girls, we've made that mistake once or twice havn't we?! Embarrassing!).

I must warn you that some of these blushers have X-Rated names! I have Nars Orgasm (coral with light shimmer) which is my FAVOURITE, Deep Throat (darker pink with gold reflectors), Nico (natural skintone, very light, no shimmer) and Madly (bronze colour with shimmer). Nars Orgasm is a fantastic product and works with virtually any skintone (in my opinion!). It has won "The best of Sephora" (a popular American Cosmetic retailer) for the past 5 years! The blush is a perfect pinky-peach colour with subtle highlights with accents of golden shimmer. Yum! It is a beauty editor/makeup artist's favourite, and it's easy to see why!

They are priced at £18.00 for 0.16oz. They are versitile and can be worn alone or layered together for more depth and intensity! MAC blushers can be hit or miss but Nars blushers always hit the spot! Can be bought from premium cosmetic outlets in UK, or directly from http://www.narscosmetics.co.uk.

I reccommend to buy from places such as Harrods/Selfridges/John Lewis because if you buy from their website postage is £ 6.00 and tax is £ 3.13!!!!!! What a rip off ladies!!
