…it’s me again. Sorry! I just realized I forgot one thing from my NARS stash, can’t believe I did but it was probably b/c I still had it in the box and haven’t used it yet. Anyways, it’s the Blush-Bronzer trio which has their 3 bestselling shades in Orgasm, Albatross and Laguna. This was Limited Edition from their Summer collection but can be found for a bit longer if anyone is interested. And it comes in a zippered compact, very cool unlike the typical rubberized packaging. Perfect for vacation.
^like all NARS packaging, this attracts dirt even while in the box!
thanks so much M_was_here! I absolutely LOVE Nars blushes, I love blushes in general, they are my favorite beauty products…I buy so many blushes its crazy! I have just started getting into the NARS blush mode, and Right now I own Orgasm which I love (you’re right you reach for it so much!), Anjelika (its such a cute color) and Albatross, its such a beautiful highlighter!! I love it soo much!!!
I was planning on purchasing Lovejoy, however I realized its a total dupe for MAC’s Warm Soul which I have and absolutely love…but I’m gonna get it anyway because Nars blushes are so much more pigmented than MAC
And you totally convinced me to buy Exhibit A!! I love reddish blushes on my cheeks, but I thought this was wayy too dark but you’re right with a 187 brush it may work!
Oh and did you guys notice that NARS came out with a blush palette??? I just got the email from Sephora it’s a NARS blush palette with 6 shades: Hungry Heart, Super Orgasm, Desire, Casino, Orgasm, Sin
oh and I also own NARS Laguna....I bought it cause of the hype, but I use bronzer for contouring my cheeks, but its too light even for my NC 30 skintone...I'm gonna get the Casino which is better for sculpting
@pakieyez : I am so glad you are getting some NARS blushes! I love them and they're my favorite thing to own as well. And I want that palette w/ the 6 in it but I'm on a no-buy currently, plus, I have 3 of the 6 in there. Maybe if I see some pictures or swatches I'll be able to decide.
And holy moly, which NARS blushes did you get? I got them my last two in Gilda & Deep Throat when they were offering the 20% + 2-day shipping. You should wait for them in the future if you want to buy more b/c instead of being $54, they cost $43-$44 for two. :)

M_was_here, that is for a friend.
Aw, I'm sorry you missed it. They had it about 2 weeks ago. I guess I should updated it here but completely forgot to! Another way to get about 20% or $10 is to order from drugstore.com, they offer $10 off to anyone on their first order of $50, so if theres anyway you can cancel the order and order from there, that would be helpful. You ordered from Pakistan and had it delivered to your sister's house in the US?
^ Oh, i did not know they had them on drugstore.com. i searched them in macys and dillards, they did not have them, so i went to their own website and ordered from there.
Yes, i placed the order from Pakistan, made payment through credit card and had them delivered to my sister's place in US. This is how i order my stuff, once i have ordered enough to make a box full, my sister then ships them to me in Lahore.
I placed the order last night, i don;t think i can cancel it now, if they charged my card already getting the money back will be a huge trouble.
Oh, it wont be trouble at all. Just log into your NARS account and click cancel, as long as they haven't started processing it or shipped it you should be able to. And what else do you order? Nordstrom has free shipping and depending on your sister's state you could even get it tax-free. I now order all my MAC stuff from Nordstrom because I dont get charged the tax + free shipping. MACcosmetics.com has free shipping using a code but still charges tax which can be annoying.
Drugstore.com has $10 off $50 usually and free shipping over $25. But that is a fantastic idea! How much does it cost to have it shipped to Lahore from the US? I have never had anything ship to Lahore but I could def. do this when I move to Saudi for a bit since NARS isn't sold there (probably due to the racy names, LOL).
Btw, another good site is Beauty.com (both Drugstore.com + Beauty.com) are owned by the same company so you can get good deals like 20% off or free shipping over $25 or $10 off etc.
Nordstrom.com sells a lot of makeup like Chanel, Guerlain, MAC, Bobbi Brown etc and has free shipping (and depending on your state, no tax as well) so that is good too.
If you want some US-based drugstore products, you can check walmart.com which usually has free shipping on most products. And also, Sephora.com is having their annual Friends & Family sale where you get 20% off entire purchase so a LOT of people go crazy for this in the makeup/blog world. It starts October 20th so if you want to order anything, you can this way as well.
wow.... thanks a lot! many of the website did not come to my mind, and i totally forgot about walmart. Its really easy to forget things when you are away for so long. I will definitely check all these site, though i am more into lancome and estee lauder. but i am willing to try other products too.
last time my sister sent me a very small box that costed her 29$ something, thins time i checked the USPS website and they have a
large flat rate box for 50$ something, i asked her to check the details for it, since i did too much shopping recently, i hope it is as it is advertised on the site, otherwise she's gona have to pay a lot :(
I'm NC30, Gilda is the only Nars I owned, which was my everyday one. I just bought Sin and I highly recommend it for NC30. I tried Dolce Vita and although it looks very different from Gilda in the pan, when applied, it just looked like I had put on a lot of Gilda.. that mauve didn't come across at all.
I recently bought the NARS danmari blush palette which has 6 blushes..well 4 ..cause 2 of the 6 is a bronzer and a highlighter. i have to say I am not loving the palette and actually contemplating returning it gasp I already owned orgasm before I bought the palette and super orgasm is too shimmery for me. not a big fan of the highlighter as its purely shimmer with no color whatsoever....the bronzer is casino and after testing it for a few days...i prefer my hoola bronzer over it. so back it goes? and I get my $78 dollars back? yes please
Yeah, I wanted to get it but I had 3 of the shades, dont care for Super O (chunky glitter) and wouldn't buy a $65 palette for just two of the shades (Casino and that Hungry Heart highlighter). You should def. return it, $78 is no joke and you could save money and end up getting 2-3 of the colors you liked.
^ Totally. I never realy shop much when I go there…
I’ve looked at prices at canadian sephora and American sephora…prices were a bit higher in canada, even though the dollar rate is almost the same. :hinna:
^If you dont have any of the shades from that palette and have light to medium-dark skin, you'd find that whole palette very useful. It has 2 shimmery blushes (Sin and Orgasm), 1 glittery blush (Super Orgasm), 1 matte (Desire), 1 bronzer (Casino) which is red-based so it's perfect for contouring and not green-based like Laguna which is better for warmth, and 1 highlighter so it's a great NARS starter kit. The blushes are 2/3 the full-size so it's a good deal considering they're $27/each. Plus, the packaging is so damn sleek!!!! >.<
