NARS Limited Edition Tainted Love Set

Angelika by NARS is pretty much my favourite bright pink blusher of all time, i love the bold cotton candy pink with amazing pigmentation and little golden shimmers. When I saw this limited edition release by NARS for Valentines day 2011 I was all over it! I am so glad NARS are starting to adapt a lot of their blush colour's into various products across the range of cosmetics, I hear the next adaption will be Laguna.... How exciting!

Ltd Etd Tainted Love Set - $135.00AUD or $59USD

Description from Mecca Cosmetica: For the girl who can’t get enough of shocking pink, Tainted Love includes Angelika Lip Gloss, Angelika Multiple and Schiap Nail Polish. Following the success of Angelika Lip Gloss, the cotton candy hue with gold particles makes its debut as an iconic Multiple for 

the first time.

Angelika Multiple - Not available individually

The multiple really encapsulates the colour of Angelika blusher but without so much glitter/shimmer. I actually love this fact and it makes for a much more wearable cotton candy pink cheek. This also looks amazing as a sheer lip tint. The lasting power of this multiple in particular isn't that amazing, I only got around 4 hours wear out of it, opposed to the Orgasm multiple where i get more like 7-8 hours.

Angelika Lipgloss 

Individual Price - $24USD, $55AUD

A very cool pink gloss that is just sheer enough that it is wearable on most skin tones. I love using this over a nude lipstick to make any look a little sweeter. Like all NARS lip glosses the formula is non sticky and the taste is horrendous... but i always find myself going back to my NARS glosses regardless, i guess that says A LOT about the quality. Perfect gloss for spring.

Swatches: Angelika Lipgloss (Top) Angelika Multiple (Bottom)

Schiap Nail Polish

Individual Price - $17USD, NARS nail polishes are not available separately in Australia

Described by NARS as a shocking pink, the glossy rich pink is a perfect compliment to all things Angelika. The colour is so sweet i almost want to drink the bottle...... NARS polishes are definitely way over priced for the quality, which is just above average. The good news i have found an exact DUPE for this colour and I will sharing it with you all in my next blog post!!

Schiap Nail Polish Swatches

At the time of purchase (which  was February this year) Mecca Cosmetica had the fabulous promotion going for Valentines day called "from Paris with love" where with every online purchase over $50.00 you got a little gift boxed with a few French samples and even a little treat all the way from Paris!

I just adore the beautiful packaging Mecca always provides with orders........

I purchsed this set from an Australian cosmetic retailer, Mecca Cosmetica:
