NARS Guy Bourdin Holiday Collection Limited Edition One Night Stand Cheek Palette

I have always lusted over NARS products especially their blushes. They are known for being so pigmented, smooth and just overall amazing. I love NARS but I'm not a huge fan of their prices, they are one of the most expensive high end brands (but not as bad as Dior). Around the holiday times NARS usually comes out with pallets that have multiple products for a great price (considering the individual price of their products). So I wanted blushes, and guess what NARS came out with an amazing blush palette with their two best sellers Orgasim (blush) and Laguna (bronzer).





The palette comes with four blushes, one highlighter and a bronzer. 3 shimmery blushes, and one matte so a total of 6 pans. The highlighter and bronzer also both have shimmer. The palette is in classic black NARS packaging with a full size mirror. The products are kind of all close to each other so the sparkle and fall out kind of just mixes all together but its not really that annoying for me. A regular size blush is 16. oz, but the palette has 14. oz not a huge difference but not full size which is kind of disappointing. The pigmentation of course is amazing and no complaints there.

Top: Devotee,
Bottom: Laguna

  • Devotee is a really pretty highlighter. Personally I like highlighters with shimmer, but if you aren't a glitter person than you will hate this highlighter. The colors is a champaign with golden shimmer, in certain lights it can look a little peachy or pinkish. It works great on cheek bones and as an all over the lid eyeshadow.
  • Laguna is a lightly pigmented bronzer that can be built up really well. It contains golden finely milled sparkle. This can be used for contouring but it's better for an all over sheer glow. On deeper skin tones this could be a great natural blush.


Top: Mistinguette
Bottom: Orgasm

  • Mistinguette is a matte neon pink blush, it really needs to be diffused into the skin but is smooth and pretty on the cheeks. I wear this blush on my miminal makeup looks because it just perks up your whole face. The blush is a tad chalkey but it can be smoothed back into the rest of the product in the pan
  • Orgasm classic sheer peachy pink blush with golden shimmer. So pretty, enough said. 


Top: Deep Throat
Bottom: Goulue 


  • Deep Throat is a medium peach with golden shimmer. Two steps deeper than orgasm, work work great for deep skin tones in the olive range.
  •  Goulue is a rose with golden shimmer. Goulue can be a little over whelming on the cheeks and needs to be applied with a light hand and blended into the skin with a clean fluffy brush to really get a sheered out look. This color would look amazing on dark skin tones than mine. 


If you have been dancing around buying NARS blushes I would say go order this palette from Sephora. It is a $145 value and costs $58, a really great deal for 6 amazing powders that will last you just about forever because all you have to do is tap your brush in them and you have enough product for both cheeks.

This is probably one of my favorite palettes and products I have ever bought. SO SO SO SO worth the splurge. Go buy one while it is still available!
