Hey lovelies! How’s everyone’s week going? The weather’s been so gloomy lately and for some reason I thought wearing more makeup then usual to work today would cheer me up (Note to self: high winds and lip gloss do not mix!). Instead of a typical smokey eye I decided to go with plums and browns and a more nude lip which I rarely do. What I’m really loving right now is my Nars Oasis blush (I’m a Nars addict!) and it’s become my go-to color for the summer. I’m surprised no one ever talks about this one!

Here are some better pictures of Nars Oasis along with a swatch and the one thing I love about all Nars blushes is how pigmented they are! This one is a more muted plum color with some gold shimmer reflecting off of it which seems to disappear once I put it on my skin. I would recommend this blush for people with more yellow tones and it would look even more amazing on people with medium skin tones and tans but of course you can always pair it with some bronzer and I’m sure you would get the same effect.

That’s it for today! What are your favorite products for the summer?
Until next time,
