Hello everyone! Today I am going to review the highly popular Nars Danmari All About Cheek Palette. This palette did not live up to the hype, in my opinion. I wish they would have included some different shades of blushes or just made it more unique. The blushes that are included in this palette are:
Hungry Heart Duo
Casino
Orgasm
Super orgasm
Desire
Sin
This palette comes with a bronzer, casino, which would be nice if it was a matte bronzer. It comes with a highlight color, hungry heart, which is just terrible, in my opinion. These two shades should be replaced with Laguna as the bronzer and Albatross as the highlighter. Most everyone loves those colors.
Getting to the actual blush part, their choices of blushes leave little to be desired. Orgasm is a great choice. It is a coral pink color with a little bit of underlying gold shimmer which looks lovely on the cheeks. Super Orgasm on the other hand is terrible. The color itself is beautiful, but the color gets destroyed by huge chunks of golden glitter. Not shimmer, glitter. When you use this blush, you end up getting glitter all over your face. Not pretty. If you love that look, this blush would be perfect for you. Desire leaves a lot to be desired. It is a bright (and I mean bright) hot pink color. If you use a light hand, it can give a perfect flush to the face, but if used wrongly, you will end up looking like a clown. If you love this color, Pink Passion by Elf would be a much cheaper alternative. The elf blush only cost you around $3.00. Last but not least, Sin is a deep, mauve, color that is probably the second best option in this palette. Sin has very little golden underlying shimmer that gives your a face a warm feel.
This palette cost around $65 dollars -!: sad to say that I would NOT repurchase this palette. It is a great travel essential if you are a Nars blush fanatic. If you own a lot of Nars blushes and you have thought about trying this, please do not. It is a waste of money.
You can find dupes for this color as I have given an example in my review. Eyeslipsface.com is a great place to find blushes that are around $3 and can get a close color match to some Nars Blushes. I love Nars blush, but this palette is just not cutting it.
If you own this palette, let me know how you like it (or do not like it) in the comments below. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Xoxo,
