Did anyone in the NC45 family purchase Coeur Battant?  Interested in seeing swatches....
She's darker than NC45, but I thought it may help you anyway. http://www.thestyleandbeautydoctor.com/2013/10/nars-coeur-battant-blush-review-and-swatches/

Gorgeous! Each Suits you so well, how do you find the wear time and formular? Plus you have similar hair colour, eye colour and skin tone to me! - You are now my ultimate enabler! Ohh also, what are you wearing on your lips in your profile picture? I think I need it!

Have you tried then on your cheeks yet? They will def surprise you! The lighter colors are good for tops of the cheeks into a deeper color or contour.

I haven't! My brushes aren't clean. Thanks for the tip. :) I was thinking of using Laguna as a highlight. Definitely can't bronze with that lol

You are funny not wearing the good stuff while at home haha I do the exact same LOL! I use the 187 most of the time for blushes because I'm naturally heavy handed :/ and it buffs out nicely. I'm def still warm toned from summer but it's a real pretty blush! Do you set your foundation with a powder? Maybe try the blush over the foundation so it adheres and shows better? I'm sure it gives you a nice natural glow atleast :) As for Laguna... I can live without it lol I need a good Bronzer in my life!

I agree...Laguna was the only dud for me. Not WOC friendly

. I wonder if NARS has something more suitable for our skintone.

ok i will try it with my 187.. It just doesn't seem to show at all. Lol and Yea I wouldn't by Laguna separately at all lol but I'll try to use it as much as I can it seems that all the blushes in the pan show way differently know the skin so don't be afraid to give it a try. And I will Def try it again over my powder because over my foundation Bggg just doesn't work. And in this pic I didn't use any powder lol its high end and no point of waisting it lol (even tho I have a back up)

This is probably make me sound like a snob, but it's not Goulou. ;) It's Goulue. It's an adjective (old, rarely used anymore) meaning gluttonous, but in this case it might refer to a cancan dancer called La Goulue. Mistinguett was a singer and actress. ;) I remember old people calling young women mistinguette affectionately.

Thanks everyone for the swatches!

Just got my package so I took quick pics (not the best lighting) nc45ish skin. Gotta run but the highlight color is love! Not ashy or crazy at all. P.s. Laguna is a joke on me although I have yet to try any on my cheeks.
