Nars blushes swatches 【Nars 腮红试色】 Part II

Dolce Vita is a dusty rose blush with a cold tone, good for winter look. The quality is as good as usual, I haven't tired it on my cheeks, but I guess it looks better on pale skin.
Dolce Vita是冷色调的玫瑰色,适合冬妆。质量没得说,虽然我目前还没用过,但是感觉应该适合所有肤色

Oasis somehow looks similar to Sin in the pan, except for Oasis has gold sparkles in it. But when I apply it on my cheeks, Oasis is definitely more pinky. Sin, in the other hand, looks more mature. I hope you can see the gold sparkles in pics below.

Nars describes Gina as matte tangerine. Well, I don't know if it's accurate. As you can see from the pic below, it looks nowhere near like tangerine. I would describe it as apricot (Taj Mahal is tangerine right?). Anyway, it's a good color for summer look, and it goes with any skin tone I think, as long as it can show up on your cheeks.
Nars官网把Gina形容成橘色。我比较不能理解,说是杏色应该更合适。Gina是典型的夏季腮红,适合所有肤色。

Luster is the every first Nars blush I got, so I have a specially feeling for it. Nars describes it as sheer golden apricot which I agree. Luster and Gina looks similar in the pan, of course, Luster is shimmery and darker, but still...I don't understand why Gina is tangerine.
Luster是我第一块Nars腮红,有革命情感。Nars官网形容是带金色调的杏色,我觉得还是比较同意的。从盘里看,Luster只是比Gina深一点,多点金闪,为啥官网要把Gina叫做橘色呢...

Desire is cotton candy pink according to Nars. I think it pretty much says everything I have to say about this color. I remember I was scared when I saw it for the first time, it's way too bold in the pan, but when I applied it on the cheeks, it's lovely, cute, not bold at all! Love it!
Nars 对Desire的颜色描述还是很准确的——糖果粉(棉花糖粉?。我记得我第一次看到Desire的时候吓了一跳,在盘里颜色超深的,不过涂到脸上就是很美好,很年轻的粉色了。爱!
Over! I didn't sleep last night, so I actually don't know what I'm talking about, neither in English, nor in Chinese...sorry about that!
收工!昨晚上没睡觉,所以我也不知道自己瞎扯了些啥...见谅,见谅!

Nars blushes swatches 【Nars 腮红试色】 Part I

I'm absolutely a fan of Nars blushes, but I'm not collecting them, I don't even have the most famous Orgasm(but I do have multiple in Orgasm), b/c it's really not the color for most of Asians. One of my friends had it and hated it. I also tried at Sephora, awful, it enhanced my pores, made me look ridiculous. So if you are an Asian, I'm so not recommending it, unless your are NC15 (I'm NC20) and have a absolutely flawless skin. I don't have Deep Throat neither, for me, it's just a normal color, but I might get it one day when I have enough budget.
So, jump...
我绝对是个Nars fan, 不过我没在收集,像经典的高潮我就没有(有高潮的multiple). 其实高潮并不是为亚洲人设计的颜色。我一姐妹收了,悔得肠子都青了,从来没用过。我在Sephora也试过,上脸巨显毛孔,再加上金闪...整个一村姑啊...总而言之,除非你皮肤干净无暇,NC15(我是NC20)或者更淡,还是别尝试了。国内没专柜,试起来不方便,买了不合适就真的是哑巴吃黄连了。深喉我也没收,讲实话,除了是高潮的代替品之外,我看不出它有任何特别的地方,不过等我有闲钱了估计还是会收...:P
下面开始试色

Top: Mounia
最上面:Mounia
Second row (left to right): Torrid, Amour, Sin
第二排(左到右): Torrid, Amour, Sin
Third row (left to right): Crazed, Dolce Vita, Oasis
第三排(左到右): Crazed, Dolce Vita, Oasis
bottom row (left to right): Gina, Luster, Desire 
最下排(左到右): Gina, Luster, Desire

All the swathes are applied on a NC25 skin, and applied by Bobbi Brown blush brush
手臂颜色大概NC25样子,腮红都是用Bobbi Brown腮红刷刷的

First is Mounia, you can find it on Nars website, it's a cinnamon coral (as the website describes), but I really can't see any coral in it, it's more like a cinnamon red with shim in it. Really really pretty and pigmented, but kind chalky when I apply it.
第一块是Mounia,目前我只发现Nars官网有卖。官网对Mounia的描述是肉桂珊瑚色,我倒觉得看不出什么珊瑚色调,更多是红色调。不用多说,美,显色,只是刷的时候会有那么一点点不好晕,一点点啦。





Torrid is a shimmery coral. Simply a nice, go to color. It's not a deep color,but you still have to be careful when you apply it, as it's super pigmented and easy to pick up the color. 
Torrid 是带闪珊瑚色(汗...),大众色,但是很漂亮,什么妆都能搭,当然下手还是要注意,轻轻轻!这款是相当显色的。




Amour is a lovely matte peachy pink color, I just got it, haven't really applied with any look, but it does look pretty in the pan. 
Amour 是雾面橘粉。我才收没多久,还没用过,只是试了个色,不过看着挺美的啦,上脸应该也不错。



Sin, I love Sin!! The website describes it as berry with gold shimmer, I don't know whether it's berry (for me it's a hard color to describe) but I can't really see any shim when it's on cheeks. Also it has a cool tone in it, which is good, makes the whole make up really clean. BTW, I don't think it's a good color for tanned skin. 
Sin 是我大爱的颜色!!官网形容是berry加金闪(真的不知道该怎么翻这个berry...大家看图意会吧,反正没啥色差)。基本上涂在脸上是看不出金闪的。Sin属于冷色调腮红,我个人觉得冷色调腮红会让整个妆容更干净。不过这块不太适合深皮。


Crazed was actually discontinued and re-leased recently, but it's sold exclusively on Nars official website. Ok, according to Nars, it's a raspberry red with shimmer, a bold vivid color. But the Crazed I got is a different story. It's not bold at all!!!! Like a redder version of Sin... and it definitely looks nothing like earlier swatches I saw. Maybe they changed the color to make it more applicable? I don't know... a little disappointed. I hope it's not the original color, so I am still able to get the Crazed I wanted.
Crazed本来已经停产了,上个月突然又在官网上出来了...现在是官网专卖。官网形容是覆盆子(应该就是桑椹吧)带闪,总之应该是个比较艳的颜色。我拿到手完全不是那么一回事儿...很日常的一个颜色!!!像是加红版的Sin...跟我之前看的试色一点都不像(哭..)。我在想是不是Nars改色了。总之有点失望,最好这不是原来的Crazed...



To be continue...
待续.....

Rock&Republic Blush swatches 【rock&republic 腮红试色】

I have five R&R blushes and one R&R eyeshadow that I use as a blush, but today I'm gonna do blushes only,so here they are:
目前总共有五块R&R家腮红以及一个R&R的眼影 ,我同样用来做腮红,不过今天只做腮红试色:
Top (left to right): X-Rated, Immoral
上(左到右):X-Rated, Immoral

Middle (left to right): Bedroom, Tease
中(左到右): Bedroom, Tease
Bottom:Immoral
底:All Nighter


X-Rated is a matte fuchsia blush, it's really pigmented, and looks good on pale skin
X-Rated 是非常漂亮的雾面桃红色,极度显色,涂的时候要极度小心,适合白皮








Immoral is a matte orange red blush, pigmented, and easy to pick up the color
Immoral 是款雾面橘红色腮红,显色度好,容易取色,下手一定要轻,不然就成猴子屁股了



Bedroom is a matte light orange blush, to be honest, it doesn't impress me at all, you can find this kind of color in every brand. The quality is good though, pigmented and easy to pick up. It reminds me of Gina from Nars.
Bedroom 是款雾面淡橘色腮红,说实话,颜色很一般,所有牌子里都能找到这中颜色。不过粉质还是分不错的,显色度好,很容易取色,上脸有点像NARS的Gina。



Tease is my favorite one, really unique, pretty cool pink with a purple tone! The quality is as good as usual, and it works for both winter and summer, I just love it. You can never go wrong with this color, but the only problem is, it might not show up on darker skin.
Tease是这几款当中我最钟意的颜色. 非常特别的冷色调粉。粉质一如既往的细腻,属于百搭色,冬夏都可以用。不过由于颜色相对比较淡,在深色皮肤上可能看不太出来。




All Nighter looks really similar to Immoral, it's also a orange red but has a gorgeous golden shim in it,which makes it more exotic. I think it might looks like Taj Mahal from Nars with less orange but more red (?) I don't know, I don't Taj Mahal to compare them, but I will, b/c Taj is on the list!
All Nighter和Immoral 很像,同样是橘红色,但是All Nighter里多了金闪,因此更具异域风情。我猜有可能和Nars的Taj Mahal比较像,但是没有taj那么橘,我没有taj,现在不好比,以后买了再做对比。


 All the blushes were watches on a NC20-25 skin, applied with Bobbi Brown blush brush.
所有腮红的试色都用bobbie brown的腮红刷刷上去的,手臂颜色大约是NC25, 算是亚洲人的中等色吧。
Overall, R&R blushes are very pigmented, easy to blend, and long lasting. The problems are the selection, which is limited, and the packaging which is way tooooo big and fancy. But anyway, I still want Kinky and Spank! XD
总而言之,R&R的腮红很上色,也很容易晕开, 持久力也不错,就是色号比较少,包装也太大太华丽,很不实用。不过我还是想要收kinky和spank!哈哈哈~

Thank you for watching!!
打完收工,谢谢!

bury it, every thing in it.

今天是一路R线坐回来的,太累了,不想跑来跑去转车,而颠簸的车子总能让我昏昏欲睡,这种半睡半醒的状态也尤为让我满 足。地跌就是个小社会,除了在职国家元首不太容易见到外,应该什么人都会有,大到政要明星,小到乞丐, 恩,乞丐我(们)?看着每个人的表情,衣着,幻想他们的生活,对我来说是个享受,well,大多数时候是享受,有时候也会是小小的折磨。可能是年纪大了, 荷尔蒙开始作祟了,不过也可以理解吧,晋升为圣斗士级别的时候突然彻底单身了。

5年零5个月,我们居然纠缠了那么久。这么 多年我数十次试图分手,最后总是立场不坚定的被动摇了。最后一次,你说给我电话,却就这么结束了。前几个星期想到这里我可能还会掉眼泪,今天也就是湿了一 下,视线都没有模糊。我对你,不是爱,你对我,应该也不是,只不过是两个被习惯操控的人莫名的执着于那份熟悉。我们有太多的相似,现实,对所谓的浪漫无 感,坦白,永远不会甜言蜜语,懒惰,不到万不得已绝不改变。这两年多的分离,该变的还是得变。

你说过在我这后你可能没办法 再和其他人一起,当时我听得好心痛。现在,恐怕没法再继续的是我了。从一开始我就知道这段感情的基础是错的,但是我没能纠正,以至于后来每一次分手都像是 一场没有争吵的闹剧,你可能已经习以为常,甚至有一套固定的台词了。如果你可以果断点,我们也不会耗费那么多时间。


从没有责怪你的意思,是我们双方性格缺陷造成的,巨蟹+天枰,根本就等于纠结+无比纠结,无比念旧+念旧。想想在平均一个月半通电话的情况下,我们还维持了2年多的,真是停滞不前族的极品了


我会哭是因为我在等那通电话,不管是长篇大论再把我打回原地,还是一句是该分手了,我想要的是一个清清楚楚的结果。 我把人生最美好的时间都给了你,我把你当亲人一样放在心里,我真的以为我值得一个明明白白的的结果,这恐怕是你做过最让我失望的事了。天枰座,你是典型, 一直都是


地跌里的人大多戴着耳机,目光冷漠,呆滞,偶尔也会有些不合群的三五好友交头接耳,但最格格不入的莫过于勾肩搭背,你浓我浓的情侣们。其实 每每看到,我嘴角总是忍不住上扬,内心充满温暖,但紧接着就是悲从中来,er,说悲估计是夸张了,约莫着是感慨吧,活到这把年纪了,突然单身了,以为多年 的包袱卸下了可以好好找个人恋爱了,才发现90后的胶原蛋白们已经占领高地了,我这80后的早就被叫做老女人了,而我这个老女人竟然完全不会恋爱,更不懂 怎么和其他男人打交道。那个远在大洋彼岸的男朋友就好像是全裸时裹着的一层透明纱布,虽然完全没用实际效用,but it's good to know he's somewhere out there。现在纱布没了,心也跟着虚了,只好把自己藏起来,等着回国后三姑六婆们fix me up了

今天把所谓感情的种种都拿出来了,个中细节就不带感情的烂在肚子里留着死前回放吧

枷锁 封印 入土

#2

今天想了下这个blog是不是该有个主题什么的,像有人做beauty的,有人做fashion,有人做时事评论,有人做折扣收集。

去把用过的护肤品一一照出来,个个写评价?我都不记得我用过多少了~工程量太过巨大...
搞化妆品swatch?er...要照相,一时半会儿我恐怕还找不到相机,数据线更是失踪有年头了
fashion神马的还是免了,好像那些个娃儿们抱着chanel, prada, hermes, balenciaga就能丰衣足食了, 直接迈向共产主义了。姐姐我为了一个YSL的sample sale 已经拼过一回,最后还落了个竹篮打水一场空,现在想想被棒子攥着的三个muse心还是隐隐作痛啊,刚又收到传闻,christian louboutin月中也要sample sale了....神马跟神马,11月就是TNN的不消停,估计扭腰一半的女人都要去吧,不过嘞,好像鞋码非常诡异,36down和40up,也不知道是多少off,搞不好去给老娘搞一双,4''的鞋跟,估计她会死吧~但是HLL的红底啊~滴血滴血,我怎么偏偏长了双大众脚呢,什么抢手鞋都是7号先被扫荡一空...
不过这个deal还是很振奋人心的,到时候就有人的捧个人场,有钱的捧个钱场,去绕一圈意思一下得了,好歹也是louboutin嘛,当然,这个消息还没有被confirm... calm down, calm down

时间地点神马的
Christian Louboutin Sample Sale
Thursday, Nov. 11 to Friday, Nov. 12
Thurs: 9am-6pm Fri: 9am-3pm
306 West 38th Street 14th Floor (Between 8th & 9th Streets)

下周三rebecca minkoff的sample sale想必一定要去的,那姑娘现在是火烧眉毛的火啊,其实MAB也没那么好看,怎么一个个都跟着了魔一样呢~nikki去掉牌子不也就是个大众hobo,不过谁让好莱坞滴明星们要捧呢,我等平头百姓也只好跟在后面瞎起哄了,LA众人指哪个牌子,我们就抢空哪个牌子,哈哈哈~到时候又将是一场恶战...周二要吃饱喝足和棒子拼了!

sephora FF最后一天我居然没顶住,下了一小单~ 谁让NARS duo居然TM降到10块呢~NND,我不下手天理不容啊...然后又加了个cover fx的mineral 粉饼,刚好凑够FS。NARS的双色倒也没有那么美貌...但是10块再八折...去MUA上换腮红也行啊~能换到illamasqua的腮红吗...有rock&republic 的就更完美了~~我好像想太多了...

e...惊觉从主题选择一下子跑到deal alart,一下子又跑到下蛋上了...回来回来。So, anyway, to sum up, what I'm trying to say is, there's NO THEME in this blog! right, 跟着感觉走吧,抓不抓住梦的手我们就再说吧.
PS,护肤品使用总结,彩妆swatch,还是有必要的,历史是使人明智(right?)滴...

欢乐贴结束,转战第下一篇
