Product Review: NARS Torrid

I just recently found out that warm coral pinks work best for me. They look really natural on me, even more than red blushes do. So now, I am finally doing a review on one of my favorite blushes, and the one that took NARS Taos' number 1 spot as my fave NARS blush. :P

See how gorgeous this warm coral pink blush is? This blush is love! :P Now on to the review.

What I like:
- Gorgeous warm-coral pink shades that flatters fair-medium to even darker skin tones.
- It may seem too shimmery on the pan but when applied, it eventually gives off a healthy and pretty glow.
- This blush instantly brightens my face.
- Pigmented. I only had to dab my stippling brush ever so lightly so as not to overdo my blush.
- Decent staying power. Lasts for hours on my oily skin and a little goes a long way.
- Locally available at NARS Counters in Rustan's.
- Price may seem a bit steep for PHP1350 per pan with 4.5g of product, but I swear, one pan can last for years even with everyday use.

What I don't like:
- None. :P

Will I buy again? Definitely! This won't take NARS Taos' number 1 spot for nothing.
Overall rating: 5/5

Tip: If you have medium-dark skin tones, please do give this blush a try as based on some reviews at MUA, this is "The NARS Orgasm" for those with darker skin tones. :P And if you have a tan, this will definitely give your cheeks a glow. Also good for those who wants sun-kissed cheeks.

On me:

I hope you're all having a great weekend. May you all have a blessed Holy Week. :)

Ta! :P
