Helloooooo there everyone!

Believe it or not there was a time when I didn't go anywhere near high end beauty products because I didn't really understand why people would spend so money when they could get a similar product on the high street. Although I love my high street brands, since branching out I can now completely understand why people do this and I have now got quite a few high end products in my collection. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with high street brands and often the products are very similar but with certain things I have noticed a difference.

Anyway, onto today's review...
Nars is one of my favourite high end beauty brands and in particular I love their blushers. Firstly the packaging is gorgeous. It makes the product feel expensive and I love the soft, compact, streamline design. The texture is unusual as it is rubbery to the touch which although feels good does easily attract dust and grime. After a quick wipe with a damp cloth of face wipe this is soon resolved, however. The palette also sports a huge mirror in the lid which finishes off the product really nicely and has come in handy on several occasions when I've forgotten my hand bag mirror!

Amour is a highly pigmented, matte, rosy pink shade which has peach undertones. This is actually one of my favourite blushers because the colour is very pretty and feminine. It isn't at all overpowering on my cheeks and gives my face a nice natural glow which lasts all day. As this blusher is so pigmented you really do need to use only a minimal amount and even though I use this blusher regularly it will be years before I hit pan on it. The texture of Amour is soft and it is extremely blendable to is very easy to work with which is very important to me. There is nothing worse than blushers that don't blend well and leave you with tell tale stripey lines on your face.

Just like the name suggests... I love Amour!

You can buy Amour from Nars for £21.50.

Have you tried this blusher? What do you think about Nars blushers?
