NARS Enchanted creme blush-peachy perfection for summer nights

I am no different to anyone else and am completely embracing the peach/coral craze for spring 2011! As we speak I am wearing a Coral lipgloss by GOSH and Barry M nail polish in what else? 'coral!!' I literally cant get enough of it and was on the lookout for the perfect peach creme blush, as the ones I have are pinks and plums (the plum colours i tend to mix with lipgloss and wear on my lips as i find them a bit dirty looking for my face at times!)
So searching through ASOS beauty shop I stumbled upon the NARS section (ok I went straight to NARS! Its my latest obsession!!)  and checked out their range of creme blushes there were three that caught my eye out of the five colours these being :

Cactus flower-shimmering poppy (looks stunning,but is out of stock atm and I have a very similar MAC one)Lokoum-Rose coral with shimmer.And finally...Enchanted-Soft peach with Gold sparkle.I picked enchanted, as it's so different to any creme blushes or in fact regular blushes that I have,and had high hopes for it and how it would sit very nicely on my Holy Grail NARS sheer glow foundation and add the 'glow' onto my cheekbones that weirdly 'sheer glow' doesnt (I dont love it any the less for this error in product naming!!!) see my review hereHere's the blurb..'Creme blush by NARS featuring a rich,moisturising creme formula with a velvet texture,
the pigmented blush offers a sheer sweep of colour for a natural, luminous look.'



sounds promising!!



First impressions

Upon opening I was immediately loving the colour,which is what I can only describe as a sunset peach,It reminds me of a yummy cocktail that you might have on holiday or indeed a beautiful Greek (I love Greece, enter personal preference here) sunrise.



As you can see I have really given this blush a fair trial over the weekend!


The swatches


Heavily Swatched 

  Regular swatch on the left and blended on the right


As you can see it's an absolute beauty of a peach creme blush and very well pigmented.
What you cant see from the images above is the gold glitter that runs through this
blush,which is actually alot more apparent than I expected it to be and transfers like crazy if you go OTT on application. Definitely a creme blush more suited to finger application so as to keep the product concentrated on the area's you want it or you will end up looking
like a disco ball!
(Yes this was my personal experience! eek) 


I have worn this blush both day and night and find the gold glitter to be far to much for
daytime wear although in the evenings it looks fantastic when the light hits!!
In my opinion this is definitely an evening blush that would be best worn on tanned skin and
depending on whether glitter is your thing or not!
I will definitely be wearing this over the summer months when I have more colour and
have learned the phrase 'light application!' off by heart!
