I find that the actual Nars site has great swatches (the ones you get when you roll over the color name), MUA also has a ton of Nars blush photos (look up SadieMC, I think she has every Nars blush made, and she makes pretty true-to-life photos). I dont think there is a Nars community like this, although I really wish there was.

I prefer my Nars blushes 100X better than my MAC one(!) They are much more pigmented so you dont really need to load up your brush with a ton of powder, and blend beautifly, I dont get the streakyness I do with macs.

They have lots of great blush colors that would probably look awesome on your skin tone that NW20 like me would die to be able to wear, like, hmm, crazed, torrid, lovejoy... and would probably give you that nice warm glowy look you want -- They do for me.

As for the glosses, I love the colors, and like that they dont really have big chunky glitter in them like macs... the texture is ok, but the artificial smell im not a huge fan of, (nor the like, $30 CAD price tag) and thus, do not own any. Hope this helps a bit, and go out and get some Nars right now!

and oh yes, nars is more expensive.... I think the blush is $25 american, and $29 Canadian.
