Nars Blushes, The Best Out There? ♥

Nars is probably my favourite brand of makeup and even, shockingly, outshines Mac...Not by much though, only a fraction, Mac is my second love (:
If i could only choose one brand to buy, it would be Nars, hands down.
The quality of their products is of the upmost highest and i see Nars as a 'luxury' brand that i only buy in small amounts.

Ive dabbled in a few different Nars products and thaught they were all fab, but the real king (...or queen if you prefer...) of Nars products are their blushes!

Everyone has heard someone rave about Nars blushes at some point and they are quite hyped up, and they are worth every little bit of hype they get.

I remember buying my first Nars blush a while back and cringing as i handed over my cash to the assistant, my dad behind me was shaking his head at the fact of buying a blush close to the £20 mark (...hes a man, he dosnt understand, right? ) .
Ever since then ive been determined to collect the colours i love, even if i do go bankrupt in the process haha.
The colours i own:

Left picture:

Mata Hari - Matte medium pink with a purple undertone.
Gina - Matte deep peach.
Desire - Matte neon blue toned pink.
Torrid - Red toned coral shot through with fine gold glitter.

Right piture:
Cactus Flower - Bright poppy red with gold flecks, cream blush.
Zen - Matte beige brown with slight pink undertone.
Orgasm - Peachy pink with gold sheen.
Albatross - White gold sheen.



Left to right: Albatross, Cactus flower, Matahari, Desire, Torrid, Gina, Orgasm, Zen.


However much it pains you to part with the dosh, it really is worth it.
I think of it as an investment, One Nars blush will probably last you forever.


What i love -
The pigmentation is incredable! One dab of a brush is enough. Cactus flower and Desire actually are still visable on my arm where i swatched them despite all the scrubbing to remove them!They dont stain your face though!
They apply like a dream and blend effortlessly.
Last years.
AMAZING colour range.
& Finally -
The packaging...
I cant rave enough about Nars packaging. Its sleek, Compact and durable. Some people complain about their compacts going sticky as they are made from a rubbery material, but i havnt had any issues with any of mine and some of them have been bashing around in my bag for a while.
The size is perfect, Not too small or too big and the name of each blush is named clearly on the back. I only wish there was a Nars counter closer to where i live, as the nearest one for me to get to is London and i only go there a couple of times a year...Suppose that could be a good thing though really as i would probably be in there right now spending all my money if there was a Nars near me haha.
(Sorry for the very long rave about Nars blushes, but i just needed to air my love for these beauties!)
What do you think of Nars blushes? or just their products in general?
