Review – Nars Blush in Sertao

Retail Price – $25

Overview

While surfing through Sephora’s website, I noticed that many, many people were talking about how great Nars blushes are, especially one called Orgasm. After months of reading reviews, I just had to try it out. I went to Sephore and tested Orgasm on my cheeks and I was so utterly disappointed. Orgasm is a gorgeous medium pink color that looks amazing on very fair skin tones. I’m more of an olive skin tone, so it barely showed up on me. I was so bummed that I drove 40 minutes to the Cherry Hill mall to specifically purchase Orgasm for it not to show up on my skin. So I decided to try another color. After testing a few shades, I chose Sertao - a shimmery gold color. It gives my skin the most beautiful glow and I believe that it will look great on all skin tones, fair or dark.

I espcially love the packaging. It feels velvety and comes with a mirror. Plus, you get a pretty decent amount (0.16 oz/ 4.8 g).

Application

Nars really did a great job on their blushes. They’re highly pigmented and brush on so smooth. I like to apply it to the very top of my cheekbones and also on my temples. It gives such a pretty glow to the skin and lasts all day long!

I know, Iknow…some of you are probably wondering if it’s really worth $25. Like I said in my MAC blush review, it really depends on whether or not you’re a “blush girl”. If not, then it’s probably not wise to buy this product. You can use a shimmery bronzer from the drugstore and get a similar effect. However, if you are a “blush girl”  like me, then I would absolutely recommend this product to you.
