I almost lost my cool when Sephora announced that NARS released a limited edition blush palette exclusive to Sephora.com. My love for NARS blush has grown substantially over the last year. I have collect many of the colors and usually grab for them first when wearing makeup.
I purchased this palette during the Sephora Friends & Family sale and it seemed to take forever to arrive in the mail. Time slowed down to a crawl and when I finally received my delivery confirmation, I raced home from work to get may package before the leasing office closed. Here is what I thought of this highly anticipated palette.

The Good
The people at NARS knew what they were doing with releasing this palette. It is such great steal. A regular 0.16 oz blush by NARS retails for $27.00 and to get 6, 0.12 oz blush colors for $65.00 ought to be illegal.
The colors in this palette are very sheer which can be both a positive and negative thing. The good thing is that this allows you to layer them to your preferred intensity. One must remember that blush colors should never be very heavy unless you are doing a nighttime look or a performance makeup look. For everyday makeup, you want just a hint of cheek color. Subtlety is best which makes this palette so amazing.
I would not consider this just a blush palette as it includes highlight colors also. I classify Hungry Heart, Casino, and Sin to be highlight colors that are great for adding shimmer to all skin tones.
These blush colors are very finely milled as is standard with all NARS cheek colors. They are easy to apply and have very little fallout.
.
The Bad
Again these colors are very sheer which some people may dislike.
This palette is not very travel friendly. I just cannot see myself throwing this into my purse because it’s a little heavy, and will not fit into my makeup bag.
While the size of the mirror on this palette is very large , it is heavy and causes the palette to flip backwards when the top is over-extended. If you are not careful, this palette can flip right off of your vanity.
.
The Verdict: 
The only reason I gave this palette 4 1/2 instead of 5 stars is because of the fact that it isn’t very travel friendly.
NARS did not disappoint me and I absolutely adore this palette. Every IT Girl should have it in their arsenal.
