NARS Radiant Creamy Concealers

Press Sample Affiliate Links
3 0 6 1

Recently, I was able to try a sample of the new NARS Radiant Creamy Concealers and the Light Reflecting Powder.  Well, color me in love! 

These concealers and powder have taken the place of my foundation on days when I want some coverage, and a flawless face....but don't have time for the process. The concealers have a full coverage, yet go on smoothly and feel amazing on the skin.  The colors are also something to rave about.  I mix two different colors to get my perfect match.  

1) Vanilla to highlight around the areas that are red (such as nose, blemishes, or any discolorations in my skin).  I blend this out to give a soft focus finish on my face, and create a "flawless finish" without a face full of foundation.

2) I then use Honey to mask the dark circles under my eyes.  Honey has become my newest favorite peachy toned concealer.  It covers brilliantly and doesn't crease in the slightest.

Next, I finish with a swipe of the Light Reflecting Loose Powder, which I apply with a buff brush (loving the IT Cosmetics Heavenly Powder Brush at the moment).  This powder gives a stunning ethereal look to the skin. Every time I brush it on I want to sing "ahhhhhhh".  Seriously.  It is that pretty.

For the Fall, the color Oxblood has been everywhere. Although the bright color might be intimidating at first, I have started to fall madly in love with it. The deep, aubergine tone can add a sophisticated sexiness to any makeup look.

Sandra Bullock in The Proposal

I am so excited about the movie The Proposal, that my movie geek girlfriend and I have already purchased matinee tickets for Friday’s opening.  I know, I know!  But, I must confess…I have a big girl crush on Sandra Bullock.  I just adore her quirkiness, her wit and how laugh out loud funny she is.  She is one of the rare actresses who can make any movie better, and who I would actually want to be friends with in real life.  She looks like the kind of gal who you could sit out on the porch drinking margarita’s with….

NARS Blush sets

I am no prude, but at this moment I am giggling like a schoolgirl because I cannot bring myself to title my blog “Deep Throat and Striptease!”.  Maybe it’s just been a long day, but I think it’s hysterical that NARS cosmetics somehow always managed to create the most racy and inappropriate names for their makeup.  This is the company that is famous for their blush called Orgasm.  Need I say more?
