Adopted blush: NARS Lokoum

Jeni Temmuz 28, 2021

You might probably wonder why the title has the word adopted. Well, this blush is really adopted. I am its new mommy. :-P

Last week at Girltalk, we were having fun at the NARS Thread when suddenly, sis babyjapnurse asked who wants to have the NARS blush she is selling at the Beauty Bazaar or pretty much something like that. Sis Antigone was the first one who answered that she wants it. But then I think my post had the perfect timing because I saw sis babyjapnurse edit her post that whoever gets to post MINE! first will get the blush. I wasn't really taking it seriously so I posted MINE? Haha! Then I received a private message from sis babyjap asking for my shipping information. It wasn't just for the sake of having fun and it was real! Haha!

Anyway, I was getting really worried that it might have gotten delivered to the wrong house since we recently changed house numbers and I have a bad history with Air21. They delivered my packages to a different house several times. >_< Eversince Kuya Taba (how I call the Air21 guy who was once assigned to our area) was I think reassigned to a different area, I started having probs with them. The good news is...it was delivered this morning at 8:55am by the snotty rider. Our househelp called me because she's kinda scared of that guy. And he really got on my nerves. He was already told that I'm on my way down and he kept on calling my name loudly. He was the most impatient rider I ever encountered. Anyway, that's the story on how this became an adopted blush. :P It is NARS Lokoum, a very pretty cream blush. I am really bad at applying cream blushes so I had to do a little research on how to properly apply cream blushes. I noticed that it looks like NARS Taos. It's like the cream version of it. Look at my new baby blush.

My NARS blushes welcoming their sister and the latest member of their blush family. Maybe I should give my blush collection a name? :P

Saying their hellos. :-D

Now am I weird or what? :-P

The cases of NARS creme blushes tend to be sticky after a while. I experienced that when I had NARS Penny Lane last year. I tried to get rid of the stickiness but the NARS white logo was removed. Gah! I'm really good at destroying stuff. -_- So this is what I did with the compact.

I mentioned that it sort of resembles NARS Taos, right? Look at the pics and swatches.

Since I have dry patches on my skin right now due to the cold weather, I cannot use it as a blush yet. But I checked out MakeUpAlley and I found out that some girls actually used it as a lip color so I tried it and it is gorgeous! I just topped it off with a little Palmer's lip butter. Jeez, it is another MLBB!
