This little palette of awesome made me fall in love the second I saw it on the Sephora site. You get 4 blushes, a highlighter, and a bronzer all in one sleek little palette. Each shade is .14 oz. of product - full sizes are .16 oz. and retail for $29 EACH. So to be getting 6 almost full sized shades for $65 is a huge deal (especially if you shopped the Sephora Friends and Family sale or VIB sale and got and extra 20% off!) Let's take a peek inside:

The colors here are gorgeous. This is pretty much a must have for NARS blush lovers, or blush lovers in general. I was never ahuge fan of blush until the last year or so - it was never something I wore a lot and now I wear it pretty much every day!
The first shade in the palette is the highlighter, Devotee...

This is a shimmery champagne with a slight pink tone. It has been described as a pinker version of Albatross, though I don't own Albatross so I can't vouch for that!

Next is Mistinguette.

This one looks super neon scary-pink in the pan, but comes off a lot lighter and wearable. This is the only matte blush in the palette, but is not chalky and blends great!

Next is Orgasm, probably NARS' most popular blush!

It is a deep peachy pink with gold sheen, and is a very popular blush for good reason - it looks good on everyone and is such a beautiful color! It is also so easy to work with because it's very buildable and not one that you have to worry about it going on too heavy.

Next is the bronzer in the palette, Laguna.

This bronzer is also popular and talked about often in the beauty community. It's almost matte, but has a fine golden shimmer. It's a nice light bronzer, so it's perfect for pale skin!

Next is Deep Throat.

This one, to me, is like Orgasm's cousin. It's a pink-toned peach with gold shimmer.

Last but not least we have the one that I have no idea how to pronounce: Goulue.

This is definitely the darkest color in the palette. It is a medium rosey pink and oh so gorgeous! I've been using this one a lot as it's perfect for fall.

All of these colors are smooth, awesomely pigmented, and blend so well. I absolutely love NARS blushes, they are my favorite product from that brand and probably my favorite overall blush from any brand, to be honest. I think that even if the VIB sale/Friends and Family sale hadn't come around right at the right time, I still would have bought this palette at full price because it's SO worth it. I'm getting so much use out of it already and I've only had it a few weeks. It's a new found love of mine!!
