Angelika is a nice light fuschia-pink (if that makes any sense) with a lot of glitter, but these pretty much fall off your cheeks after you apply them.
Mata Hari is a more reddish pink that has a matte texture. It is also a shade darker than Angelika. It seems like an unusual colour to me; I don't think I have a similar shade of blush in my makeup stash!
Like most NARS blushes, the Angelika and Mata Hari are pretty well-pigmented, which kinda intimidates me. Fair to medium skins should take caution to not over apply (unless desired!). It would be wise to use a skunk brush to apply these as it lets you build up to the intensity you want. ♥
Do you own any of these blushes? What do you think? ♥

Mata Hari looks super gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love Mata Hari. It's gorgeous. I've alywas swatched Angelica but worried about the glitter. I heard the glitter doesn't show up on the skin though.
ReplyDeleteI recently bought Angelika and I'm in love with it.
ReplyDeleteWhich one do you like better? Angelika or Mata Hari?
@Ansa- Because the glittery chunks of Angelika are quite big, they tend to fall off my cheeks. =)
ReplyDelete@Bluebell- I definitely love Angelika more than Mata Hari! I just feel like the texture of Mata Hari's weird. I can't really describe it though, I'm sorry if this answer is pretty useless lol x
ReplyDeleteGlitter picks up on my imperfections, so I definitely think Mata Hari would work better for me. Look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, followed.

I love NARS blushes. I love the Mata Hari!
ReplyDeletei love those ,very pretty esp mata hari! <3
ReplyDeleteI really like Mata Hari color. Plus if it's got a matte finish, then it must look sophisticated and nice.
ReplyDeletei have matahari and i love it! i didn't buy angelika because it looks similar to matahari :P
ReplyDeleteLove their blushes but not the black rubber packaging, lol! i've had mine for 2 years maybe? and the black rubber casing is turning sticky and gluey (Ewww).
ReplyDeletethanks for the swatches though :) it's nice to know the glitter in Angelika doesn't show up much!
i don't own them but they look pretty : ) i've heard that nars blushes are really pigmented, which is great. i like shimmer and matte blushes, and i like that these are powder form.
ReplyDeletewhat a coincidence! my angelika blush just arrived today =)
ReplyDeleteMata Hari is soo pretty! I have Desire, but I think I need Mata Hari too....
ReplyDeletemata hari is a good color but still deciding between nars mata hari and smashbox flush
