Beauty Find

For years now, I've read in beauty/fashion magazines and on beauty sites about the Nars makeup stick called "The Multiple". Everyone touts it as such a wonderful product and a "must try". Before now, I've only had online access to this product, so I've never tried it, but have wanted to. This past week, I took some time during my lunch break from work and went to the mall up the street. I needed to get a case for my iPhone so while I was there, I stopped into Sephora. I love that store! I tried the sample of this "wonder product" that can be applied to cheeks, eyes and lips. Everyone supposedly loves the color called orgasm but it seemed to pale for my pale skin. It would look beautiful on tanned skin, but there was not enough contrast, and too much shimmer for my 37-year-old pale skin. So I kept looking at the color selection and ended up trying "Maui". This is a perfectly neutral pink with just enough hint of warmth to be worn with either warm or cool colors. It is beautiful on my skin tone and is the perfect color for my lips, as well as doing a great job of bringing out the brown in my eyes without the color making me look tired. I decided to splurge and purchase a stick of this stuff.

So far I'm loving it. I love being able to just stick one tube in my makeup bag for the day and that's all I have to keep track of. I do keep a small lip brush with it, as I don't want to cross-contaminate from my cheeks to my eyes to my lips. I typically wipe it off with a tissue before each use and use my fingers to apply to my cheeks and eyes and the brush to apply to my lips. At $37, it's not cheap, but a little goes a long way and it's taking the place of 3 separate products. I will definitely purchase this again and might even try other colors in the collection. Hooray for a product that lives up to all of the hype it's been given!
