Tell me about it! 7 to 8 hour wear is awesome!
Temptalia mentioned she's not a big fan of Nars blushes and she thought they are overrated (which I totally disagree!!!) before, so that's why I think she only gave it A.
I haven't seen T gives A+ on Nars blushes yet. So I usually don't trust her review of Nars items. I only see her color descriptions and swatches.lol
uh yea 7-8 hrs is dmn good n really all i'd need to step in the room n have folks admire me then go on bout my merry little way lol. hahaha i go to see T color descriptions n swatches to make sure i dnt get anything close to somethin already n my stash!!

Moreover her make-up skills are, in my opinion, not developed enough to make her an expert on make-up products and how to get the best out of them. So yeah I do just like you: I look at the pictures, and "forget" the rest.
i always secretly thought to myself "for someone who is really into makeup her skills are...." but since im appreciative for her reviews i focus on that alone!!

Whenever I see her reviews of Bobbi Brown's lip glosses, I always think they're ridiculous.
She usually says BB's lip glosses has high pigmentation and are "not-sticky", but NARS LTL lip glosses are less pigmented and quite sticky. So she usually gives A to BB's but B or B- (C and D and so on) to NARS'.
I also used BB's lip glosses and they're the stickiest lip glosses in my life!!!
(and of course, I don't think they're all high pigmented.)
I thought MAC's lip glosses are the stickiest before I tried BB's.lol
I know NARS LTL lip glosses are little sticky for my taste, but not stickier than BB's!!!
I even asked a couple of my friends about BB's l/gs and they all said they're really sticky.
now i will say mac lipglasses are tackier than floral print shirt w/plaid pants BUT BB lip gloss arent pigmented and for as much as they COST i need to see some dmn color!! plus i dnt like how some have that brush applicator vs the doey sponge one!! ugh!!!

greeeat idea!!!
Nars LOVEJOY was my first blush ever n i've been hooked on blushes esp nars ever since! i know some folks think its over rated but i love how pigmented they are and im sure they'll last til the end of time. i actually had Exhibit A but got scared cuz its soooo dmn bright n i was scared i'd look like a clown so i got mac frankly scarlet but i think im ready to go back n bring exhibit a back home for a permanent spot in the stash 
now i keep hearing great things bout douceur so i might add that to my list as well **cha-ching** i swear i work for makeup these days!!
