I received my Coeur Battant today. That is one gorgeous blush! Super pigmented seems to be an understatement. I love NARS blushes in general but they seemed to really outdo themselves with this one. I think I'm going to ahead and get Day Dream but I think I'll wait till that gets to Sephora.

I've been going back and forth on the nars ONS palette for days now lol! I own orgasm and will be purchasing the crimes of passion set, which includes Laguna and deep throat. That leaves two blushes and a highlighter than I don't own. The baby doll pink I know I won't use all that often so I feel like I shouldn't buy the palette but then I'm like, but it's a good deal! =\ I think I need to skip but it feels so wrong hahaha...I'll probably end up getting it, no will power lol

I feel exactly the same way, down to probably not getting a lot of use out of the baby doll pink. The only other rationalization I can come up with (other than it's such a good deal) is that it would be handy for travelling, but really I can't see why I would need so much gear for a trip. Plus, I'm afraid to bring any expensive or LE makeup on a trip, and then have my luggage get lost, so that excuse is just not very good. We have to come up with something better because you know we're going to buy it even though it makes no sense, aren't we?

Lol I even went back to edit that I'd probably end up getting it cuz I have no will power... I'm ready to place my sephora order but I'm so mad that I can't leave it out of my cart hahaha! It's such a good value and it really is great for traveling.... :( why did they not put new colors into this palette lol!?

I know--and Orgasm AND Deep Throat? They couldn't help us a little, here, with all the money we spend on Nars? :) Okay, being LE and sparing us the pains of skipper's remorse is another good excuse (and it's the real reason, anyway, isn't it?). Plus, we'll take better care of it than those other girls will!

Hate skippers remorse hahaha! Gonna try to talk myself out of it overnight! Do we think the color collection and the rest of the holiday sets will show up on sephora before the 1st??

Should I get the ONS palette if I own the happening palette? It has orgasm and laguna in it. I do not own any other nars blushes though.

In that case, it's a pretty good deal for you, since you'll be getting 4 out of 6 new ones. Realize, however, that the next Nars palette you want will likely have Laguna and Orgasm in it, too, so you will have three sets in no time flat! So think about whether or not you are really interested in the blushes in this set.

Maybe we should start sketching with Laguna and Orgasm like Karl Lagerfeld does his fashion sketches with Shu eyeshadows, so we can use the darn stuff up somehow! :)

Im beginning to think if i pass on all palettes that have those shades, i might as well pass on all nars palettes Lol

Lol, true. They seem to have been making small efforts though lately. The Crime of Passion face kit has Deep Throat instead or Orgasm, (but it does have Laguna), and the Splendor in the Grass palette has neither Orgasm or Laguna (it has Dolce Vita, Angelika, Sex Appeal and Albatross). Maybe you can check this one out instead. ;) The downside is that it's less of a good value than the 6-blush palette.
