Nordstrom Haul: NARS Blush in Gina (Swatches + Face of the Day)

I've never owned anything from NARS, however their blushes are very popular and known for their pigmentation!

 

I decided to pick up NARS blush in Gina after hearing amazing things about it. This blush is perfect for spring & summer!

 

NARS Gina is considered a "true tangerine".

 

Here is what NARS has to say:

The ultimate authority in blush, NARS offers the industry's most iconic shades for cheeks. Natural, healthy-looking color that immediately enlivens the complexion. A light application of even the highest-intensity hues delivers a natural-looking flush.

Silky texture in matte and shimmering shades

Micronized powder ensures soft, blendable application

Iconic NARS shades

 

NARS blush in Gina is available at Nordstroms and NARS online. Unfortunately this color is not sold at Sephora.

 

Nordstrom currently has this (and many other beauty products) 10%! You can pick this beauty up for $27 rather than $30. Plus free shipping!

 

As I write this, you can get 6% cash back (normally 3%) if you shop through ebates. Ebates is completely free to join/use and legit! Once you sign up, click Nordstroms link on ebates and then shop away! You must go through ebates first to get the cash back.

 

So if you purchase this blush at Nordstroms and use ebates, you will save $3 plus get $1.62 FREE!

 

If you would rather purchase directly through NARS, you can get 5% cash back, but you will have to pay for shipping (unless you spend over $50).

 

You can sign up to ebates for free by clicking here!
