NARS Deep Throat Blush





I received this beautiful NARS Deep Throat blush in a contest giveaway on Trina J's blog! Please go check her out and follow her! Shes a makeup artist.

I had been dying to try this blush (and Orgasm) by NARS for quite some time, so when i learned i had won it i was beyond excited!! It's the first and only NARS product i own, so i dont really have anything else in the line to compare it to but i can tell you that this alone is amazing quality!! To me, this and Orgasm look alot like, except Orgasm has shimmer. The pro's and con's listed below are just my opinions.

[PROS]
- Very smooth
- No shimmer
- Blends well
- Applies very easily
- Pigmented
- Beautiful peachy-pink shade
- Large, well made compact w/ mirror


[CONS]
- Price ($27)

Deep Throat the highest of quality and definitely worth the $27 if you use blush alot... but i dont. It will take me 1 yr or more to use this entire thing, seriously. Especially since i have other blushes and highlighters that i use sometimes too. However, the shade matches me perfectly. It's like my Holy Grail blush. When im done with this i will probably fork out the money for another, but we'll see lol.

*DUPES:
E.L.F. Candid Coral $3
Wet N Wild Pearlescent Pink $3
Jordana Blush in Coral Sandy Beach $3
