Review: NARS products

Oh NARS, I love you!

For the month of July, I didn't buy any makeup. It's nuts I know. I think it's a mixture of busy-ness, summertime and me being frugal (remember?). Ah..but at the moment, I'm kinda loving all things NARS. I have love them most of the time but right now I'm using more of their products at the same time than I probably ever have. 

So here's my review.

1. Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder ($39.00) - What it is: a translucent powder for all skintones that creates a soft matte finish. I have normal to oily skin (especially oily when the weather gets hot and humid) and I was looking for something to put on my BB cream to make my T-zone less shiny and this does the trick. 

2. NARS illuminator Coppacabanna ($36.00) - I LOVE. This illuminator gives my face a subtle glow that I love. It makes my skin appear to have some healthy color. A little goes a long way. Copacabana adds a beautiful illumination to foundation or can be used on its own for a little shimmer on shoulder and decollete. 

3. NARS The Multiple South Beach ($46) - All-in-one. Highlights, sculpts, and warm the eyes, cheeks, lips... I have used it regularly as a blush. 

4. NARS Orgasm Blush ($32.00) is described as a "peachy pink with golden shimmer". Love the color and you look like you just glow (Ah, you saw the name). In the packaging, the color looks like an intense pink, but it actually goes on sheer. I love it. Very subtle on my skin (I have medium/tan skin). It was voted as the Best Blush for Fair to Medium Skin by InStyle (2013 Best Beauty Buys). 

5. NARS lipstick Barberella ($30) - Soft coral with a little baby pink added in. It goes on well, doesn't smudge all over the place and has pretty good staying power when used with a liner. 

6. NARS lipgloss Wonder ($29) - I'm not a gloss girl. I hate sticky lip glosses (my hair hates it the most). But this one is not sticky and the color is gorgeous. I wear it over the lipstick Barberella. 

7. NARS lipgloss Turkish delight ($29) - Okay this lipgloss is probably the most known (partly due to Kim K) but really. The color, very baby pink, is awful on me!! It looks like paste on my lips and the formula is hateful. But what is the most disgusting is the smell. eww. 

8. NARS Lip Liner Fantasia ($25) - Great liner. I like the color because it's neutral.
