Nars Pierre Hardy Limited Edition Blush in Rotonde and Boy's Don't Cry Review and Swatches



Rotonde / Boy's Don't Cry

Heavily and blended out swatches.
heavily swatched

Nars has collaborated with Pierre Hardy for these two amazing blushes!!

These are much larger than the regular Nars blushes which are 0.16 Oz. for $$29.00 and the limited edition ones are a whopping 0.45 Oz. for $41.00 , what a awesome deal.

Here is what Sephora says about the blushes:

What it is:
A collection of ultramodern blushes with the signature Pierre Hardy pattern. 

What it does:
Inspired by his 2013 high-fashion shoe collection, Pierre Hardy infuses his color palette into nail polish pairs for NARS for an ultramodern coupling of conceptual color. Presented in the spirit of his signature shoebox packaging, high-voltage blushes go graphic with shimmering pressings of the avant-garde designer’s iconic prints.


These are super pigmented and they both have great staying power, I got a good 8 hours of wear with each color.

They do look scary in the palette but they can be sheered out just for a little color.

The gold is just a overspray and does come off after a few uses..

Bottom Line:  Highly Recommend these :)

XOXO,

Vicki

Almay Liquid Lip Balm Swatches and Review







 Almay Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm is a new product that is a lip balm and a lipgloss combined basically.

It is supposed to be more hydrating on the lips but still give amazing color.

I think these are nice lip glosses but I don't feel these are anything that you need to run out and buy.

They are nice and smooth on the lips and do give nice buildable color but again nothing out of the ordinary from other glosses I have tried from the drugstore.

I purchased mine at CVS for $5.99 and had a $2.00 off coupon for each, so I am very happy with the deal I got.
 
I have seen them at Target as well.  

Bottom line: Good product but not a must have in my opinion.

XOXO,

Vicki
