I'm not much of a Nars girl, I only own one blush and the e/s base, but I was interested in this blush when I saw the promo pic, and then I saw this link on Facebook.
I really like how it looks in the swatch, I thought it might me crazy pigmented and dark, but it seems very wearable.

Thank you ladies! :D

This is baaaad because now I kind of want Mad Mad World even though I wouldn't use it often. It would go nicely with the OPI polishes I bought on sales yesterday. That's a sufficiently good enough excuse, right? :p

Of course that is a good excuse! Which polishes did you get? I might have to track those down to match the duo

and I would love those colours in polishes.

That blush! I was also expecting to see a deeper color in the swatch, but I'm getting it just the same. The nail polish too of course. Now I'm also interested in the Translucent Crystal Light Reflecting Powder when I wasn't before.

Haha, any excuse is good when it comes to NARS. :p
I got "He blue it this time" and "Forrest my case" from OPI.
I don't know if these are easy to get for you, because it was a Sephora-exclusive collection for summer 2012 (I'm not even sure). It's quite difficult to find swatches.

Haha your right!
Ah yes I have seen those in our sephora's too, but for some reason they were more expensive than regular OPI nail polishes. I thought that was stupid and didn't get them

I might have to now

That *is* stupid that these are more expensive than the regular ones. :( Here they were 13€90 (like the regular nail polishes) at 70% off, so 4€17 the bottle. I didn't even think about it too much, I bought them. :p And then I realized they are quite similar to Mad Mad World Duo (the green polish is the exact same color as the sports t-shirt I bought the same day, it's crazy).

Wow at that price I would have gotten them without thinking about it too! It's cool to sometimes buy matching colours without even knowing:)

Here's a few swatches of Persia:

http://www.avogel.co.uk/web-shop/?c=/Products/Product%20category/60%20Jan%20de%20Vries%20Bach%20flower%20remedies

Thanks to all of you who posted links! Even though I'm viewing these on my screen at work, which bleaches out everything, even when I turn the brightness way down, I'm blow away by the level of pigmentation on MMW. Much like Marie, it looks so lovely that I want to get it despite the fact that I can't see myself wearing it that often.

For Seduction, it's probably for the best that it's sheer but buildable, but I hope that it'll still be easy to blend. To me, it looks deeper/ plummier than Outlaw, although it's somewhat similar. To me though, Outlaw is distinguished from similar blushes by that glorious golden sheen. This one looks a little more like Mac's Vintage grape Blush Ombre.

Errr..that link seems to be some sort of a shopping site unrelated to makeup!

I hope Seduction isn't so sheer that it just doesn't show up on my skin..

LOL!!!! That was the link that I meant to post. Why I shouldn't be doing personal and work stuff on the web at the same time.

Thank you everyone for all the links!! The more I see these gorgeous swatches the more I want. I know all of these colours won't be the most practical for me, but I think Mad Mad World and Persia will be a good push for me to be more adventurous. Good thing I just bought more little storage drawers on my lunch break. I have a feeling this year my makeup hoard is going to grow exponentially.
