NARS Contour Blush

[tiffabutt]

Yes they are in the group picture, but they don't appear on the product list or individual promo pictures, because there's no point since they're virtually the same as before and not discontinued (contrary to popular belief).

I've had it for a few years now. I can't imagine not using it for blush. It picks up just the right amount of color with pigmented blushes, and it diffuses the color so nicely. It's not cheap, but it's really a good brush.

I really need to invest in some nice brushes anyway.

I have some nice MAC ones, but I also have some really crappy ones. Last week I suddenly decided that I HATE the cheap double-ended CVS brush I've been using for blush the past couple years. Yachiyo will be mine!

OMG!!!! im droooooling over these duos

DID SOMEBODY SAY KONTOUR

NARS is hands down one of my faaaavorite brands esp when it comes to blushes (lovejoy was my first nars purchase) and i know everyone holds laguna dear to their heart, since im a medium dark tone (mac nc42) i opted to go left with casino n loooove it. since i prefer my kontours to be more bold n slightly dramatic im thinkin of Paloma for an everyday kontour and gienah for my bold drag kontour lol. eeeeh im not press to order it now, hopefully they'll be in sephora just in time for their sale which *cross fingers* the UD ELECTRIC PALETTE will also be there as well by then. i got over $100 in gift cards waiting to take over sephora

As far as the brushes, the ITA must be sold out on nordies cuz i dont see it. hopefully they'll be back one sweet day n i'll add it to my wish list for when the hype of em dies down. the yachiyo brush eeeeh i found a dupe on ebay for like $5 lol i call it my FARS FACHIYO brush and becuz i never had the original i cant compare but its not scratchy n serves the purpose for highly pigmented blushes thats for sure. luckily i didnt pay $50 for it becuz its not an everyday brush for me! i'd invest in the ITA cuz i definitely kontour eryday all day!!

That Ita brush sold out quickly. I had it in my Nordies cart and buy the afternoon it was gone. Hopefully they will restock soon!

I'm dying to get the Yachiyo brush. What do you mainly use it for? I really need a new blush brush.

Yes u need the yachiyo one of the best brushes around.i use mines for blushes and sometimes to highlight I know hakukodo has a similar brush but as much as I love there brushes i don't think it has anything on the yachiyo I love it so much so I have two the only brush I ever backed up

Oh they have a yachiyo alright... That's what I use to highlight!

they always put unrealistic ship date... and it's always longer wait

The Paloma highlight color swatches looks so much different from the promo pics?

Just received an email from Nordstroms and they start shipping the contour blushes on Thursday. They first stated when I purchased it last week that the approximate ship date is supposedly the 17th.

Thanks for the info!

I'm around an NC42 and Gienah seems a bit dark. Opinions? The "highlight" shade looks like it will just be my skin color, maybe even darker. Paloma looks a little light, but I'm thinking it could be buildable, and I'd rather it be subtle than too dark. Plus, despite the description and promo pics, it doesn't seem particularly cool-toned in the swatches we've seen. More neutral, if anything. Glad I can take my time in deciding, though.

I ordered Paloma, I can't wait to swatch and wear it. I'm Nw43/NC45.
