I'm very excited to announce a new member of my blush collection! This is also the first NARS blush I own which is why I've been anxiously waiting for its arrival. Let me just say that this shade "Sin", is definitely different than all the other blushes I own because it has more of a berry/plum undertone when compared to my usual light pink blushes.
I've been wanting a new blush for a while, something that would be perfect for the fall. I knew that it had to be something with a plummy shade and after doing a lot of swatching in stores, I went home that night just to do more research online. I'm the type of person who has to spend at least a week researching a product before I buy it because if there are more negative reviews about a product than positive, then I most likely won't buy the product to try out. But with these NARS blushes, it seems as if it's a must have in every makeup lover's collection.
(The packaging is too beautiful not to take a picture of)
When I recieved my Sephora package I was in love with how the beautiful this blush was and of course I had to swatch it again. It was so pigmented! It honestly shocked me because I would usually have to swipe my finger over a product at least three times before getting an accurate color pay off, but this was very pigmented.

I really think that this is the perfect blush for fall, it's very pigmented so apply it with a light hand. Sometimes I tend to go a little heavy with blush (by accident of course), and I've learned that it's easier to start off with very little product then add more if needed. Because if you use a heavy hand with this then you will definitely look like you went overboard with blush.
Do you own any blushes that would be perfect for fall?
I really wanted to have this blush at some point then I totally forgot about it because so many products that came out the market. I think sin looks really good on Asian skintone, would have to think of buying this again!
ReplyDeleteMiriam ♥ A whole lot of serendipity
Yeah I think that this shade does look good on asian skin tones, I was shocked that a berry/plum shade would look good on me. You need this blush!
DeleteIt is a gorgeous colour! Nars blushes are great too, and they seem to last forever (seriously, I haven't hit pan on my Orgasm yet and I've had it for like two years!)

I feel like since they're so pigmented not much product is really needed, I'm excited to try out other blushes from them too.
DeleteThis is gorgeous. I really like Nars blushes and I should really collect some more x

This is my first one and after buying this, I will for sure be getting more too.
DeleteSuch a gorgeous shade! I've never tried any Nars blushes!

You need to try some blushes from them, it's so beautiful.
DeleteI'll need to swatch Sin and see how it looks on my skin tone. I recently got Orgasm and hated it! It was so sparkly on me and was just horrid. Thank goodness I picked up a travel size so it's a duo with Nars Laguna which also did nothing on my skintone. What a waste of money. :-(

Sorry that happened to you :( I think I tried on Orgasm once at sephora and hated how pink/red it made my cheeks look. You should definitely check out sin though.
DeleteOooo this is beautiful :) I love fall blushes and especially the berry ones! Great swatch!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Any other berry blushes you recommend? I've been looking to get some more.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous shade! It is perfect for fall, I should definitely check it out!

It is the shade that caught my eye out of all the NARS blushes!
DeleteI need to add Sin to my collection. I love the shimmer running through it. I feel like I've gone through such a phase of matte blushers that my inner shimmer princess is crying for some good stuff LOL! One of my fave Autumn blushers is NARS Dolce Vita ;)

It's gorgeous and I've never been this in love with a blush before. I'll have to give that blush a look at.
DeleteAhhh! Welcome to the NARS blush addiction! :P
ReplyDeleteI recently got the plummy shade in Seduction but it's more of a matte blush. I like to start with my brush closer to the hairline and work my way to my cheeks so if I do have a little too much on my brush it won't be as obvious ;)
I haven't heard of that shade before but I've been obsessed with plum shades recently. Good advice! I'll have to go check this blush out.
DeleteThis does look like the perfect color for fall! I've been using the tarte amazonian clay blush in natural beauty but I may have to try this one out:)
