Falling out of love with NARS Blushes

Jun 21, 2008 | Collections, Makeup, Musings

When I first heard about Nars Cosmetics, it was their blushes that attracted me. After all, I’m pretty much addicted to blushes!

I thought I had to have ALL the Nars blushes available. And I nearly did too until the money gave out and my interest waned.

Lately however, I’ve found myself falling out of love with Nars blushes. For some reason, I found that the blush colours, albeit very pigmented and therefore showing up prettily on the skin, were a little too garish for my taste. I even found myself turning more to Nars Orgasm lookalikes, rather than use the real thing. This was odd.

Last week, I wrote about Guerlain’s Summer 2008 collection which featured the signature Guerlain Meteorites in various forms. This is the review on the Summer 2008 Guerlain Meteorites Perles Light Diffusing Perfecting Primer courtesy of Guerlain.

Guerlain seems to have changed the packaging of their products. Previously, Guerlain products came in a cream coloured box with gold and brown accents. The new stuff Guerlain has been putting out now comes in a sleek glossy black box with gold writing. I like it! It looks more up to date and classy, and definitely less stuffy than the old packaging.

The Guerlain Meteorites Perles light diffusing primer comes in a heavy glass bottle with a black shiny metal cover. It looks and feels very luxurious. The size is 100ml which is about that of a bottle of eau de toilette. In fact, the shape of the bottle reminds me a little of Estee Lauder’s Beautiful fragrance.

I was down in Singapore over the weekend when I stumbled on the brand Sana in a Sasa store. I had read about this Japanese brand before but had never seen it in person so I was quite taken in by the pretty cherry blossom packaging.

Out of curiousity, I picked up 3 items. 2 of them, a liquid foundation and a foundation brush and mixing palette set was from the Sana Maiko-Han series. Continue Reading >> Sana Maiko Han Geisha inspired Makeup
