Hi Ladies !! I have been (pardon to pun) eyeing the NARS eyelash curler for quite some time. Today I tried it in store and it is awesome. So much easier to use than my MAC eyelash curler (which served me well for over a decade). It has more of a curve than the MAC curler. A serious must have!!! I love love love it!

I'm loving NARS blushes but my fave is a tie between Mata Hari and Montenegro. The Multiple in Palm Beach and South Beach are a fave of mine as well.
Just got into the shadows and lipglosses but no favorites as of yet.

I'm happy people are loving Nars, but Casino bronzer never did a thing for me. I had to pass that baby along. I could've used it as a pressed powder. Has anyone my complexion of darker used Orgasm blush? It seems like it wouldn't show up. I do agree with Honolulu Honey. That lipstick is the bomb. Maybe I should try Turkish Delight.

I use Orgasm. I like it a lot. Super Orgasm packs more of a color punch, but Orgasm gives a nice peachy/pink gold glow, and it is especially pretty when layered over cream blush or a more pigmented matte blush. I experimented with Orgasm over NYXs Bronze Goddess cream blush last week and it was gorgeous.
ETA: I've read multiple people say that Torrid is the Orgasm for darker skintones, but I think both have their place. I don't know which one I prefer though... probably Orgasm.

I agree Shontay,
Casino was a disappointment to me. I really wanted to love it but it did absolutely nothing for me. Now it just sits in my unwanted makeup collection

I don't think I mentioned Downtown gloss. It's a perfect metallic purple. Just awesome. Also, the new Wonder gloss. I really just love Nars glosses in general. They last through a meal, aren't particularly stick and they don't have a scent that bothers me. Anyone try Belle De Jour lipstick? I'm thinking it might be easier to wear on it's own than Honolulu Honey.

Just had an idea, but don't own these products: try Taj Mahal on lips then Wondergloss over to punch out more orange ....

i like the color pay off with Wonder alone.....I'm gonna try ur suggestion tho....sounds like it should be really pretty.

Let me know how it looks. 
I agree Wonder gloss on its own is gorgeous .... Sometimes I like to layer products on my lips in the morning just to shift the colour a little and then finish the day with just the gloss/balm .. it keeps it fun/playful.

Ok, so I tried Wonder with Taj Mahal under it and I absolutely
it!!!! First I applied a very thin line of a brown liner then TM and I loved that matte orange w a lil shimmer look it gave. Once I added Wonder, I was in love. Thanks for the suggestion WhatWouldJoanDo.

I've been wanting to try MUFE #40. Maybe I'll get to Sephora to pick that up this wknd. Backing up Wonder is not a bad idea at all
