NARS Danmari All about cheeks Palette

Have any of you heard about the Nars Danmari all about cheeks palette? I'm sure most of you have! 


My goodness, I have never wanted a blush palette so bad in my life LOL! 


I surely missed my opportunity for the Sephora friends and family discount, but luckily I have my Sephora VIB discount code that I could use.. but it's not valid until November 10th, which i'm hoping this baby doesn't sell out again LOL (yes it sold out!) 


This thing sold out as fast as the Naked Palette did, when it first came out..

From the sephora website:

Danmari All About Cheeks Palette ($107 Value)
What it is:
Based on the exquisite tradition of Kabuki theatre, a classical Japanese dance drama, this palette features six high-pigment cheek powders that let you play up your features like a true performance artist.

What it does:
The ultimate authority in blush, this limited-edition mirrored holiday NARS compact features the essential blush and bronzer shades, ranging from warm bronze and luminous highlighting hues to shockingly bright pink. Turn a new cheek with this fashion-forward mix created exclusively for Sephora.

This set contains:
- 6 x 0.12 oz Cheek Color in Hungry Heart (gold ivory), Super Orgasm (peachy pink with gold glitter), Desire (cotton candy pink), Casino (dark brown with golden shimmer), Orgasm (peachy pink with golden shimmer), Sin (berry with gold shimmer)

I am really debating about getting this palette, because:

1. I do not have any of these colors yet
2. it's $65!! that's a $107 value!
3. Nars blushes are extremely pigmented and a little goes a long way (meaning this will last FOREVER!)

and the list goes on and on.. but because we all know i'm on a real tight budget, and i'm really trying to save every penny I get to go towards a new iPhone 4S (cause I currently have the 3GS and it's pooping out on me!)..  which I really need! (for those of you who know me, know that I use my phone for EVERYTHING - ie: doctor appts for family, bills etc, social networking) I need my phone! lol.. so it sucks that my current phone is deciding to poop out on me now, but gahh that's really expensive as well.. so i'm in a bit of a bind.. i could purchase this palette.. or use that money to save (which will take me longer) for my iPhone 4S.. hmmm decisions, decisions? what's a makeup junkie to do? lol

what are your thoughts on this palette? do you have it? is it a must have? AHH! it's beautiful!


[UPDATE 11/17/2011] I just posted a sephora VIB event/sale haul - http://www.myfitbeauty.com/2011/11/sephora-vib-haul-picture-heavy.html and yes, I got this palette!

Teeny Tiny Sephora Haul

So i've been wanting to get the Stila Sumdgestick Eyeliner in Stingray (Jet Black) ever since a few days ago when i accompanied Karen to Ulta (her first time) and saw this eyeliner, swatched it and fell in love..but of course they ran out/sold out of both the pencil and the smudgepot in black (which i wanted to try out)..

and the lady told us they'd get the next shipment in Monday.. of course Monday came, I called, they didn't get it in.. and searched a few of the neighboring sephora's, ulta's.. with no luck! until TODAY! i called again and the lady at Sephora said they didn't carry that eyeliner (she'd never heard of it and that specific one they will not carry at Sephora) LOLOL.. well i asked her to look if they Had the Smudgepot in stock for Karen... and she placed me on hold.. low and behold 2 minutes afterwards, she came back saying, yes we actually do have that eyeliner and the smudgepot!

so i told her to put them both on hold for me.. Karen picked me up and we went to the mall (mind you it took us 30mins to get there cause i had to bring my oldest daughter Tianna who was kicking and screaming because she wanted to go with me).. we got there.. and this is a sephora inside JCPenny.. well omg i went in looking for the Stila section.. when omg omg i saw they had NARS! they didn't have it last time (well ig uess i was blind LOL).. but they had ONE left of the blush i've been lemming for! AMOUR! and yes I got the last one.. was only supposed to get the eyeliner.. but i called my hubby right away and said - i'm gettin the eyeliner... oh.. and.. this blush too! LOL ;) i'm so funny.. he laughed at me and said- duh go ahead!

So i left a happy camper.. I did want to buy brush cleaner lol, but i was so content with my purchase that well i didn't get anything else!

so here is me and my happiness with my newest additions ;)

Lol sorry i look tore up from the floor up.. this was at 10PM! a long days work LOL.. i cannot wait to try my newest products tomorrow! :) i'll try to do a FOTD! :)

Also - my hubby's chief/boss doctor gave him a sample for me to try out.. it's a small little set from a line called: Vivan MD Skincare.. i've personally never heard of them.. have any of you? But i checked out their website and saw their list of "clients" so to speak: http://vividmdskincare.com/clients.html

i don't know how true it really is - but i haven't came across any bad/negative reviews on this brand thus far.. well i'll try it out: the kit comes with the Satin Cleanser tub, Clear Skin Toner and Balancing Moisture Cream.. i'll try it out for a little and tell you all how i like it within the next few weeks.. ;)

I think that's it for now.. i gotta hit the hay.. and BIG announcement for you ALL to hear from me on Monday! :) tee hee so excited! I can't thank you all enough for everyone who's subscribed to my blog! :) i'm going to probably have a real mini giveaway to show my appreciation.. when i get some extra $$! :) 

stay tuned! till next time!!!
