Ahh…. NARS
You get what you pay for, no substitutions
NARS Body Glow and Monoi Body Glow II Set
The Monoi de tahiti oils many brands carry can be greasy, overpowering, underpowering. I like NARS product because of the non greasy factor. The oil soaks in nicely leaving a subtle scent one can appreciate. Sometimes I am not in the mood to be overpowering through my fragrance. Sometimes less is more.
The going price on the Monoi Oil Set is $59. Ouch! Yea I know. The bottles aren’t large but they go along way with a light touch. You can use the clear bottle in your bath, after a bath or shower on the skin, wear this oil as a fragrance or with a light fragrance that pairs well. It won’t overpower but be a great addition.
I wear the clear bottle as fragrance and moisturizer without the use of another fragrance competing for attention. After I shower while my body is still damp, I pour all over me in the shower, Neutrogena Body Oil light sesame formula. I get a smooth finish, with a nice shine then I use the Manoi Oil on my pulse points.
spring/summer application
If I want to have a heavier scented experience I apply more to my body. Definitely you and you alone know how much to apply. The Body Glow II bronze bottle is divine. If you are looking for a bronzer that is going to give you dramatic results this might not be the bronzer for you. It’s delicate in nature that will give you a very nice bronze. NARS gives you that subtleness.
I like this bronze and this is coming from a Woman of Color. With my brown complextion I get the bronze I am looking for. I don’t have to worry about staining my clothes, very pleased. While the price can leave many hesitant, shop around a bit.
I found my beautiful second set for $20 at TJ Maxx.
It was as if it The Nars Set was waiting for me. I quickly picked it up, made my way to the counter, with a big smile on my face.
This is a Luxury Product, from a luxury brand, that carries a luxury price.
Indulge yourself.
You’ve been deja vu’d,
