It will feel differently than probably any brush you've used due to the handle. It's really interesting.

I ordered directly from NARS and my order hasn't even shipped yet.

There is a single banana and there's a banana chorus line to choose from.

Sadly, sephora does not sell the Yachiyo brush or i'd have bought it a couple years ago.

But... NARS has sales? On-line? And beauty.com? and they do have the Yachio. Ooo-ooo.

And the little NARS kabuki brush tempts me... it's just like a brush i bought in Japan in 1972 - now i have to see if i can find it!

The only thing i want from this collection is Bouthan - i've really been getting into pink eyeshadow lately. Mad Mad World's intensely blue and green doesn't really work on me. Persia (paprika) might, though...

NARS had their 20% off sale last month..I guess it's a regular thing - every December..

Oh, that's right. I forgot while I was typing. I, too, would have picked up the Yachiyo much earlier if Sephora had carried it. Why the heck doesn't Sephora carry it? It would sell much better, IMHO, than the Botan they carry. But yes NARS and Beauty.com have Friends & Family 20% off. Their November sales last year were both close together so it was kind of annoying b/c you couldn't spread out your spending. I think the Sephora sales were in Nov early Dec as well. Then there was the MAC Holiday collection. It was overload. Oh and with your order Beauty.com sends you a $10 coupon. Plus, they give you money to spend on their website every quarter based on your previous purchases. If their samples were on par with Sephora's it'd be really hard to stay away from that site. Beauty.com does a lot to make you a repeat customer. They need to beef up their website design though.

Received the blush & single eyeshadow today. I like Seduction the most, it actually makes a great eyeshadow.

Cool! btw do you have lighter skin? How's Seduction?
I have light skin (NC10~15) and I'm curious whether it's also good on my complexion.

Here's a review of Mad Mad World that made me chuckle a bit because of the '90s phrases:

I'm somewhere between NW20-25 and think it looks really good. The thing that makes seduction very wearable compared to other darker blushes is that it's red based. Not really purpley at all. Very natural and it could occur in say a bruise, but I like that look personally lol

The swatch on temptalia makes it look bright. This is not a 'bright' blush. Here are swatches in white-light

Thanks for the swatch!
Btw, can you compare it to Crazed or Mounia blush which were discontinued?
If it's similar to Crazed, I'll def. get it! :)

It looks like most counters won't be receiving the collection until sometime around the 1st. I just placed my order with Sephora to get the two pieces that I know I'll absolutely love, Bouthan and Seduction, and I will get the rest of what I need when Neiman's gets it.

According to Temptalia, Seduction is a powder blush.

ETA: Nevermind, I saw a post somewhere that thought Seduction was a cream blush.

I love her reviews and it doesn't hurt that our skin tones are similar. I'm definitely getting the lipstick. It's very pretty.
