NARS Guy Bourdin Blush Palette



Well Hello…

Yes, I am back! ..and with another review!
Unfortunately I have been extra busy with school and work. :(
But I did purchase this BEAUTIFUL NARS limited edition Guy Bourdin One Night Stand palette not too along ago. The palette was available online end of October and in stores at Sephora on November 1st. This palette retails for $65. 

I was waaay too excited for this since I never got my hands on the ever so famous Danmari palette. It is my first NARS product actually, and I can not tell you how much in love with it I am! Is it possible to be infatuated with blush!? NARS makes it possible.



The palette itself has beautiful packaging. As all NARS products, it has that rubberized material that does tend to get dirty fairly quickly. I've kept this little sucker in its box just because I don't want it to get dirty. Eventually, I'll have to part with it though because realistically, it is not practical to constantly take it out of its box and put it back in especially when I've been using it so often.

The artist's name, Guy Bourdin is printed in front of the palette  To be honest, I had never heard if this artist until this palette came out. I looked up a little of his background and it is not really my style or to my appeal.. But that is another story. 

As it being my first NARS item ever, I was even more excited because I was finally able to try out Orgasm - the #1 most popular bush. Aside from this beautiful universal shade, there is Laguna, which is also another hyped up color used for bronzing/contouring. 


The palette include a plastic film to go over the blushes which I thought was a sweet detail so the blushes would not get all over the really big size mirror! 
The colors from left to right first row include Devotee, Mistinguette, Orgasm.
The colors from left to right second row include Laguna, Deep Throat, and Goulue!



Here are the 6 swatched out colors.

Devotee - is more of a white highlighter which is beautiful on top of any of the blush colors combined with Laguna or worn alone. I noticed that all the shades lasted all day and the colors were true to color.

Mistinguette - is a BRIGHT pink shade. My favorite out of the bunch and the one I have tested out the most. This is a very pretty shade that can be worn alone or with Devotee. I also feel that it is great paired with a more smokey look and bright pink lips to match!

Orgasm - is a peachy pink with a beautiful gold shimmer. Typically I do not reach for blushes with shimmer but this one is universally flattering. Goes with any look and an easy every day blush. 

Laguna - is a brown with a bit of gold shimmer. I do not feel that the shimmer transfers and is a great contouring or bronzing color for everyday. I used this one the least but I do really like it. 

Deep Throat - is a more sheer peachy pink color. Amazing everyday color. Super smooth as well as the others and looks wonderful paired with more gold or neutral eye looks!

Goulue - is a deeper, almost red shade. The darkest blush out of all of them and I find hardest to wear. Sheered out, it looks pretty and provides a natural flush to the cheeks. I love this with a darker eye look and brown lips!

Ok ladies, this was my quick review on the NARS One Night stand palette!
And I am in LOOOVE. I love every shade. Any color can suit a variety of skin tones and they wear like a dream. 

Let me know if you have purchased this palette and what  your favorite color is!
