NARS Multiple in Palm Beach Review



I got this one from a makeup swap. It’s a multi-purpose stick for eyes, cheeks, lips and body. This shade is in rich bronze. At first, I was skeptical about the shade I might not be able to pull it of. I tried it on as my bronzer and it turns out lovely. It's long wearing and lovely on its own.

When using this as bronzer, I warm it up with my ring finger then apply it lightly. I like using this underneath NARS Orgasm, it look so stunning for a night out. I also tried using this as my lipstick and top it of with a clear gloss. And it still looks great. So far I haven’t tried it on my eyes, maybe next time if I feel like doing it. ;-)

The only huge drawback for this item is that it Retails around $37.

Cheaper alternative worth checking out :

Wet 'n' Wild 3-of-a-Kind Twist Up Stick

Bronzer Collection


My small collection of bronzer for my "tanning mood"... ;-) some are from swaps, eBay and pasalubong... My favourite from these collection are NARS Multiple in Palm Beach and Bourjois... I’m having a hard time picking out which one is the best because their both pretty on their own.



"My collection" (NARS BLUSH) - ORGASM

My first NARS blush. I got this one because it’s the highly rave blush ever. Hmmm…I think I got orgasmic experienced using this on. ;-) Just Kidding… I really like this shade, a peachy-pink shade with shimmer, very classic. It matches my natural flush perfectly and gives me a nice glow. I think this shade is universally flattering and completely lovely because you can make it work for you.


The only downside for this blush is that I need to pack on the color to my cheeks with 2-3 swipes to get the effect that I want. FYI I’m a NC25 in MAC. Although I’ve been using this for over a year now, it still looks untouched. For the value, I guess you’ll get your moneys worth for this blush since the shade never gets out of season.


Pros: Highly Pigmented


Cons: Expensive ; Retails around $25 ; The color does not show up much




"My collection" (NARS BLUSH) - TORRID Review


This is love. All NARS' blushes are love. This is my third NARS blush that I own and my first blush in Coral Shade with shimmer. If I’m rich I’m definitely going to collect all the NARS blush shades and just stare at it. ;-) Kidding aside, when using this blush you need to apply a light hand because the blush is very pigmented. This shade is absolutely gorgeous and can suit any skin tone. You just need to build it up or diffuse it whatever you like. All in all, I love how it warms up my whole face and completes my look.


Pros: Highly Pigmented
Cons: Expensive, Retails around $25

"My collection" (NARS BLUSH) - SIN Review


Love! Love! Love! This blush is so beautiful. Gives a very sophisticated flush and is perfect for evening. I get the most gorgeous berry plum shade with gold shimmer that looks like my natural flush. It really defines the cheekbones. The shimmer is very subtle. You definitely need to use a light hand or apply it with a stippling brush because this blush is very pigmented! So far, this is my favourite blush of all my collection.

Pros: Highly pigmented Blush
Cons: Expensive, Retails around $25
