NARS: Taj Mahal Blush

I’ve never worried about blushes before until I read up on Specktra, from a few women of color, that said that orange and peach shades look beautiful on dark skin.  I had immediately caught wind of that and so I pictured myself with it on and I fell in love.

I just recently picked up my first blush and it’s called Cinnamon by NYX.  It doesn’t look like a Cinnamon color at all, it looks like a straight matte, orange color and am I am so happy with it.   I was watching Ateya (a beauty guru on Youtube) and she was talking about NARS Taj Mahal blush and how a friend of hers got it for her because it was hard to find in the stores – I believe it has been discontinued, sadly.  Her look for that day was an orange one.  She used some colors from the Natural Flare eyeshadow trio, Off the Page eyeshadow from the Makeup Art collection and I forget what she had on her lips, but it was orange…so she had to throw in an orange blush.  Taj Mahal looks so beautiful on her and now I want it!

If I do get Taj Mahal (it looks like it’s still available on the official Nars Cosmestics website, then it will be my first high quality blush ever.  I think the only blushes I will buy will be orange.  I really don’t like pinks and reds much.  I can deal with peachy shades so I’ll look into those as well.

So, I will be getting my first NARS blusher in Taj Mahal when I get paid next week.  Oh the wait!  It’s pure love!
