I have both Albatross and Vanilla p/g, and I think that the color is really really similar of both of them However, Vanilla p/g is much more iridescent and will probably show up muuuuuuch more if you're going to use it as a cheek highlighter. I use Albatross every day, even if I'm just throwing on some makeup, because it's so pretty and gives my skin a gorgeous dewy look when I use it on my cheekbones.

So I'd say go for it, unless you want a really intense look (I personally use Vanilla on my eyes pretty much exclusively) in which case you'll be fine with Vanilla. I'm sorry Nars is so expensive where you are! Haha I am really fair too with black (and green) hair and I have to say Albatross is perfect for my warm-toned skin. HTH!
