All About Cheek NARS Danmari

I tend to lag on sharing posts on recent buys, be it make-up or not, but I seriously couldn't wait any longer to do a post on my purchase from Sephora! I received it last Friday night *cues KTP* and was so ecstatic to see it waiting at my doorstep. Though I failed to use the 20% code T_T, I'm still happy as heck to have this palette as part of my collection.


Love the box that it came in. It made it seem like it was Christmas already with that red trim on top of the black. It also reminded me of the boxes that designer bags/wallets come in. FANCY.




Opening: The palette was nicely encased in a velvet like padding. Very secure so this baby doesn't budge!


For $65, the palette includes 6 shades. A highlight, a bronzer, and four blushes.


Opening again: A nice NARS plastic covering to protect the powders from getting onto the mirror. Very much reminded me of the Sleek E/S palettes.


In comparison to the Sleek palette, the mirror is big as well! It's a little bit bigger than the Sleek one, and I approve! Almost like a full view vanity in one palette.


Swatches: L-R; Hungry Heart (highlight), Orgasm (peachy pink with golden shimmer), Desire (cotton candy pink), Casino (bronzer), Super Orgasm (peachy pink with gold glitter), Sin (berry with gold shimmer).


As this being my first NARS purchase ever, I am super impressed! I've read so many good things about NARS blushes, but I always thought the price tag of $27 was a bit steep for me (brozers are $33). BUT, when I saw that Sephora had this limited edition blush palette for $65 (averaging around $11 each), I had to get one for myself. I guess my only complaint on a first impression basis would be the addition of "Super Orgasm" as there's already the cult fav "Orgasm", but eh. I'll live. Though it looks very glittery, in the swatch, the glitters aren't too too obvious.

Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase. The quality of the highlighter, bronzer, and blushes are fantastic from first swatch. No wonder so many have raved so much about these!! I'll definitely be putting great use into this palette for a very VERY long time. It is not in stock at the moment on the Sephora website, but if you happen to catch it when it does go back into stock and have been wanted to try NARS blushes out, I recommend it 100%!

For any of you that have already tried NARS blushes, any recommendations?



I tried out "Sin" along with "Hungry Heart" and "Casino." All were very pigmented, so I used a light hand for both the blush and bronzer. Especially with the bronzer; if applied too heavily, it definitely made me look muddy. Must be careful!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL OF YOU! Halloween used to be one of my favorite holidays growing up due to dressing up and trick-or-treating. As I got older, that tradition kinda faded out. Oh well. It's still a fun holiday. Might end up getting some discounted Halloween candy tomorrow. Muahaha.

  1. Waaah I want this! I actaully have zero Nars blushes. I owned one, but I didn't like how it looked on my skin tone. I really wanted to get this but it was sold out. T_T
    Ohh I love Nightmare Before Christmas, especially the music used in the film!

  2. YAYYYY!!! been waiting to see swatches of this. freaking gorgeous!!! i think sin is such a unique shade. i've only tried orgasm & deep throat, both are so similar but i prefer deep throat bc it's less shimmery so more wearable on a day to day basis.

  3. I WANT IT NOWWWWW!!!!!!!!! tiffy the colors look so purdyyy and you look amazing as well! my favorite nars blush is amour :) it's a matte blush and the color is beautiful! bc I have oily skin i cannot use sparkly  or glittery blushes (which is why I have stayed away from orgasm and super orgasm)

  6. What was wrong with the code, why couldn't you use it? =[


    I started seeing this palette all over YouTube, am mightily envious!! How's the size for a blush in the palette like compared to the original? full sized $27 one?

    I think Angelika will look great on you!

  8. Waaah it's a real shame you didn't use the code?! I'm hopefully getting this too as I've asked a very lovely fellow blogger to CP me one!

    Even without the discount I think it's still really good value though! I've never even had a NARS blush before! In the swatches and on you, the shades are super gorgeous and look pigmented! I'm so excited now!

    Halloween is a non event for us too. I never even went trick or treating as a kid. I guess it's really not a big deal at all over here!

  9. what an interesting palette! weirdly enough I already have orgasm and a nars bronzer (laguna) but if I didnt have any of those shades, this would be a fun palette to play around with! Their artistic palettes are really good value but somehow the two palettes I have always get neglected >_< The blush look so pretty on you!

  10. Ohhh gosh you purchased the Nars blush palette, I've seen so many ppl have them and I'm so tempted to get one, but I really doubt I will get it. lol But it looks great on you. Btw, I'm the same as well I purchased many things that have been a couple weeks old and never came around to post about them lol

  12. I'm a huge fan of NARS blushes and this palette is just fantastic! Though I really wish they  would replace super orgasm with something different. Great investment nonetheless considering how much the blushes cost individually. Thanks for sharing!

  17. Yay! I've read a lot of good things about "Deep Throat" and it's on my list of blushes to try. :D Less shimmery is always good for everyday. haha.

    I haven't tried Super Orgasm on the cheeks yet...but I'm curious on how it'll look. Thank you, dear! <3

  21. I just failed to apply it since I forgot...lol.

    Each blush is .12 oz/3.5g of product, while the original size has .16/4.8g of product. Not bad. :]

    Ah, I will look at swatches of Angelika now! ^^

  23. I know right...gah. I'm still kind of sad, but it's ok. I still used ebates to get some money back. ^^ Ooh! Can't wait to see your post on this palette once you receive it!

    Aw, thank you so much! I think you'll be very pleased with this palette!!! So many colors to choose from...definitely makes playing with colors oh so fun. hehe.

    I went trick-or-treating so much growing up as a kid. heh. I think I dressed up every year up until the 8th grade. -sigh- I guess it was a pretty big holiday for me growing up. Oh well. ^^

  24. Yes. This is definitely a fun palette to play around with. I have a lot of dupes for the NARS Orgasm, so I'm curious on how the actual will look on my cheeks. ^^ Ooh! Their artistic palettes are so pretty!! The designs and the colors...I've seen the ones for this holiday season. Eye candy! hehe. Aww, thank you so much! <3
