Re: Favorite NARS products for WOC
For those of you who wanted Plaisir it's now on NARS website!
Along with Passion and Ninotchka (which I would skip if you are nw 45 or over)

Re: Favorite NARS products for WOC
i remember wanting Taj Mahal blush from day one, but i never bought it because sephora didn't have it in-store and whenever i wanted to buy it online a bill decided it really had to get paid *eye roll*

well, i finally said i was going to get it and then i found out IT WAS DISCONTINUED
i was on the phone with my best friend when i saw that and she tracked it down and got me one as a belated birthday gift.

i used it for the first time today and it. is. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omgomgomgomgomgomgomg i cannot wait to abuse the hell out of it this fall.

it's the first NARS product i own and i'm in love. i plan on getting more blushes and a couple of the matte velvet pencils (loooooove them), but i have way too much else to pay for, so they'll have to wait.

I wanted to get Gina during the Sephora F&F sale but they don't have it. The only thing they have close to it is Amour. Does anyone know how that blush looks on NW45/47? Thanks!

Re: Favorite NARS products for WOC
Hey ladies, I've decided to keep both Lovejoy and Outlaw Lovejoy really is a pretty everyday blush tho I'm not sure if anyone darker than NW45/47 will really like it since to me it seems as if they would have to pack the colour on to get it to show up on their skin...I have to layer it quite a bit for it to show and I'm NW45...Neways I've convinced myself that I need another NARS blush lol- For NW45 skintone, which would work better Gina or Gilda? I want a matte orange/peach blush that doesnt look chalky on my skin...
Also has any NW45 ladies used the Rapa Nui bronzer? I was thinking of getting it to use as a contour colour or as a bronzer, what are your thoughts on it?
P.S. Torrid is a gorgeous colour but for us darker ladies we'll have to pack it on imo...

Re: Favorite NARS products for WOC
I recently purchased my first NARS blush,Taj Mahal and wore it on Saturday. I got so many complements on it. I have to say it is soooo worth the price and something that a WOC should have in her kit.

I have Outlaw, which is lighter version of Crazed, IMO but very pretty on.
LoveJoy is beautiful. I am NC50 and I use it as a natural pop of bronzey color with a slight rosy tint to it, but you can always add a brighter color peach, rosy matte color on your cheeks. LoveJoy reminds me of So Ceylon, MSF but the MSF has smoother shimmer and it brighter.

Re: Favorite NARS products for WOC
Hey Lovejoy will def show up on NC50 skintone...I was just saying that ladies darker than NW45/47 (red/orange tones) might have a hard time making it show up on their skins since it might blend in. They would have to layer it like me to get it to show considerably....

Re: Favorite NARS products for WOC
BLUSHBABY ... GINA looks great on you. Based on that I ordered online it without even swatching it. I already have MAC PEACHES. I have read that GINA and MAC PEACHES are sililar but I wanted GINA anyhow. THX for the inspiration.

Re: Favorite NARS products for WOC
I ordered Taj Mahal blush on Nars' website. I can't wait to get it!

I went to Sephora last night before ordering it online, and I checked too see if they had it but they didn't. Not in store nor online. So I had to order it from Nars, which is fine. But is Nars discontinuing Taj Mahal?

Re: Favorite NARS products for WOC
TAJ MAHAL is my new love. <3

I just recieved mine via FedEx about 45 mins. ago and I took some shots of it! They're posted in the Swatch thread for NARS products! Go look!

Btw I'm an NC40 for reference and I think that this color will pop and look beautiful on any skin tone!

Taj Mahal isn't discontinued. It's just no longer available at Sephora.
You can still purchase it from NARS or Beauty.com

Re: Favorite NARS products for WOC
BLUSHBABY ... NARS GINA arrived. It is drop dead gorgeous on me ... much nicer than MAC Peaches. Although MAC PEACHES and NARS GINA look similar in the pan. NARS swatches much better. It's more pigmented but not so much that you have to apply it cautiously. I also purchased NARS GILDA ...equally gorgeous. Now I have 4 NARS blushes.

I'm NW45 and debated between Gina or Gilda but went with Gina and love it. Also Amour is love (pun intended).
