i've branched out from my old standby (and only shade that looks flattering on EVERY skin tone), NARS orgasm blush.
decided to try tarte's amazonian clay 12-hour blush in blissful.
this shade is really brightening my skin and lasted an entire ski day.
I just bought NARS orgasm for the first time a couple weeks ago and I'm definitely a fan! I dunno what took me so long! But for some reason I'm always partial to a round palette(?)...I think it makes "swirling" your brush in the color easier...so this Tarte blush looks/sounds pretty appealing!
I love this blush. It stays forever. I loved their little chubby sticks but when these Amazonian clay ones came out I was hooked. I also have it in Blissful.
I'm a MAC girl almost exclusively. I have liked the Nars shade but the name of it bugs me, so I won't ever buy it.
Now that my daughter is 14 and into my stash, how do I explain that name if she asks? It's a great shade, no doubt. But the name for me is a deal-breaker that I'm not willing to spend something like $28 on.

AH- the awkward hug. usually side-saddled and including a pat or three on the back.

M/A- Model/Actor- definitely has more products, drama, dietary restrictions, clothes than you do and probably won't pay for dessert. it's easy to feel self conscious around a M/A because people are looking at him and not you....

I just discovered this blush last week and I am in LOVE!

Definitely going to give it a try. The color looks like it would work with any skin tone/color.
I just got the Amazonian Clay Bronzer today...haven't tried it yet. I'll let you know. I'll have to give this shade of blush a go :)
I have "glisten" from a package set. It's got a little too much sparkle, but I like the color. Beware the glitter effect, though.

I'll stick with the uber shades of my MAC.
What foundation(s) do you enjoy? I'm respecting your make-up choices because They're Real and these Tarte blushes are epically good.
