NARS One Night Stand Cheek Palette

Its been a long time since I've been really excited about a new beauty purchase. So enamoured with this release I made a slight detour to my nearest Space NK the day it came out & got my hands on one before they even had them out on display. I've been pretty restrained with makeup purchases this year so I happily handed over the £45 without guilt.

I've always wanted to try NARS 'Orgasm' & 'Deep Throat' blushes, so to have them both in one palette, plus a bronzer, highlight & two bonus blush shades it was an easy sell for me. Each shade is right up my street, very natural & perfect for giving you a little helping hand creating that glowing healthy complexion.

Devotee is a warm champagne highlight with quite a glossy finish, it would double up as a fantastic brightening eyeshadow. Mistinguette the bright pink is a lot like MAC's 'Well Dressed', a cool toned pink that is far more subtle on than it looks in the pan, incidentally I've worn the MAC dupe almost every day for the last two years. Orgasm is the peachy pink shade with golden shimmer. On the bottom row there’s the famous Laguna bronzer which I've never actually owned having purchased the darker shade 'Casino' years ago during a tanned period. Deep Throat the paler peachier take on 'Orgasm' is my favourite so far, easy to wear & very flattering. Finally Goulue the berry pink is the most pigmented of the bunch & will be great for creating a rosy Winter glow.

The palette is a Space NK exclusive & judging by previous NARS limited editions it's sure to sell out pretty fast. Find it here & take care of your blush purchases for the next couple of years!

Ps. If you need some help justifying the £45 price tag, just tell yourself/ partner/ Mum that it works out at £7.50 per blush. That's much less scary isn't it :)
