Swatches: NARS Danmari All About Cheek Palette

I figured I should probably get these pictures and swatches up while it's still available and while people are still doing their holiday shopping.

NARS Danmari All About Cheek Palette ($65 USD) is a limited edition palette that features 6 products (4 blushes, 1 highlighter, and 1 bronzer) including NARS's best selling blush in Orgasm.  Each product has 0.12 oz of product.  All products featured in this palette are available for purchase individually except for Hungry Heart.  Individual blushes retail at $27 USD a piece and contain 0.16 oz of product, while bronzers retail for $33 USD a piece and contain 0.28 oz of product.  Overall, getting this palette is a pretty good deal.

I first spotted this baby browsing through Sephora earlier this year in October.  I knew the Sephora Friends and Family Sale was coming up so I waited till then.  Let me tell you, it was actually kind of difficult getting my hands on this palette.  It kept getting sold out online and I literally checked everyday until it was available.  The entire palette is actually not as big as I expected it to be.

Swatches are done over bare skin and no base.  I swiped it with my finger 1-2 times.

I'm kicking myself because I still haven't actually used this palette yet.  Been too freaking busy for that.  For those of you who do own/use these blushes, do tell me what you think.  Before purchasing this palette I owned the Casino and Sin duo which I really like but don't use often enough.  Leave me a comment below!

Sephora's Current 500 Point Bonus: Full sized Coralista Blush + Mini BadGal Mascara!

Hey babes~

If you guys are Beauty Insiders at Sephora, you probably know that you can redeem your purchase points for deluxe samples (100 points) or something that is supposed to be super awesome (500 points).  These items are always changing, so I tend to save my points until I find something I really like.  Right now, Sephora is offering a FULL SIZE Benefit Coralista Blush ($28 Value) plus a mini version of their famous mascara.  The mascara doesn't do too much for me but I've always wanted to try the Coralista blush but shuddered at shelling out nearly $30 for a blush.  This offer may be online only, or may only be limited to certain Sephora stores.  The Sephora I was at in St. Bruno, Quebec offered a completely different 500 point gift, so do your research first!

Personally, I think I'm just grabbing the Coralista blush because there is so much hype about it.  The swatches look pretty enough but I'm not sure it will be one that I'll reach for everyday.  In any case, it's free so we'll just have to see!

Peace and makeup,
Janny
