Re: Favorite NARS products?!?!
So far, I only have the Multiples: South Beach, Palm Beach, and Maui. I'm eyeing that Taj Mahal blush, though, and maybe the Orgasm Multple. Oh! and Mediteranee shadow... yeah, gotta get that.

Ok, so I totally have a new fave l/g...Sandpiper!! I wear it practically everyday
I also recently bought Stella l/g, and Taos and Crazed blush. I love Nars to pieces.

Re: Favorite NARS products?!?!
I love NARS for their cheek colors and lip colors..e/s I'm more of a MAC girl..but these are my fav:
Lips:
- all night long
- eros
- canaille
blush:
- cactus flower
- torrid
- deep throat
- albatross
- lovejoy
eyes:
- night breed
- night rider (really like, but adds extra sparkle for night)
that's about it. I might change my mind once I get more stuff and try them out more.

Re: Favorite NARS products?!?!
I really want Mediteranee eye duo, it looks gorgeous!! And Laguna bronzer. I have Casino (and love it!) but can only use as a contour in the winter. I just bought Orgasm and I'm hoping it shows up well on me.
I received Crazed for Christmas and I love it. It gives a full on sex flush. Not the after glow, the during glow, lol. I also love Outlaw and Lovejoy.
I love the green side of my Rated R duo, but the blue side is a bit chalky.

Re: Favorite NARS products?!?!
I don't like NARS lip products as they don't feel comfortable on my lips. I do love their blushes though. I have only Sin and Deep Throat so far and love both of them. I'm planning on getting a few multiples and some e/s duos this year.
Latina Rose - what's your skintone? From my experience ppl in the NC40 to NC45 look really good in Orgasm. For me (I'm NW30) Deep Throat was the natural peachy pink blush I was looking for, Orgasm was way too warm

Re: Favorite NARS products for WOC
I notice Taj Mahal is always a rec for WOC, but since it is an orangey color would it be alright for someone with red undertones. I am NW43.

Re: Favorite NARS products for WOC
The lips pots are lovely.
For a mauve/nude lip I like to pair MAC Dervish lip Liner with NARS Sweet Charity lip pot.

Re: Favorite NARS products for WOC
After reading all the raves about Albatross I went & bought the Dolce Vita set. The Albatross/LoveJoy duo is great! I hope they make this a permanent duo.
I don't care for NARS lip products either. The only one I like is the clear Triple X gloss.

Re: Favorite NARS products for WOC
Currently in love with Gilda blush. I wish I had seen this one first when I began my obsession with Nars. And I use Albatross every single day. Seriously.

Re: Favorite NARS products for WOC
Taos or Dolce Vita for NW43? I don't want to much shimmer on my cheeks, just interested in purchasing my first Nars blush.
