Yes I would buy this product again...if I could that is :( Anyway, somebody else described this as cranberry color, which is exactly what it is and one of the most pigmented blushes in NARS but in your skin it goes very sheer and very pretty...it gives me that "I just came from the cold" flush that I always heard of, but never found before Mounia, maybe because it is more difficult for us with medium-warm skin tones. I have been trying to find the dupe for this with no luck (yes, like it is very easy to find NARS blush dupes) but hopefully it will last me for a long time since it is very pigmented and I have been using this for maybe 1 year non stop and it still has the hetchmarks aorund it.

One of my first NARS blushes. Really pigmented as others have mentioned. It's crazy how pigmented it is. I love wearing this colour in the fall/winter months. One lippie short because there have been other blushes that have looked nicer on my skin.

Mounia is a very pretty, shimmery cranberry red -- and, like most other NARS shades, it is also heavily pigmented -- so it is best to use a careful, very light hand or a stippling brush. While NARS describes Mounia as "Cinnamon Coral," I do not detect any coral in it at all. It does seem slightly warmer to me than Crazed, Outlaw or other blushes in the NARS red/berry family, but I would not call it a warm or coral-based shade. I would buy Mounia again, but there is no way I will ever come close to using it all!

For reference: NW5-10; NARS Siberia.

I bought this blush a few weeks back from the Nars website since Sephora does not sell it. The color is a deep raspberry with shimmer or maybe it's a cranberry(either way you get the idea). once applied to the cheeks there is no noticeable shimmer. I use a big fluffy brush, tap it onto the blush pan and then onto the back of my hand and apply. I repeat if necessary but usually that is enough to give a nice flushed cheek. The pigmentation is crazy as with a lot of Nars blushes and for that reason a little goes a long way so this will last forever. I find my self reaching for this and Exhibit A and nothing else lately. The packaging is also great, love the sleek black rubber. I would def purchase again.

when i saw this on pancea81 youtube channel one her hauls i fell it love with it sephora doesnt have it but i went to saks to the nars counter and this is one of my favorite blushes is so good

When I love something I buy more than one and keep it stashed in another drawer. This blush is one of them! Sephora doesn't have it in stock. It is one of the many beautiful colors that you have to order straight through NARS, but you won't regret this one! It is a gorgeous reddish berry color! I see it working on so many different skin tones. I am very pale with dark hair and just a slight tap of the brush gives me a healthy rosy glow. This blush has such pigmentation that you have to barely touch the powder or it could end up clown-like. The high pigment is like that of NARS exhibit A which I also love. If you know how to wear makeup and use a light hand it gives the most gorgeous results! The $26.00 price tag is totally well spent since it will take you years using it daily to get through one of these blush. It is a perfect ten!

I had been wanting this for a long time and then heard it was being discontinued, so I bought it right away. This is one of my favorite NARS blushes. I have fairly tan skin but still have to be very careful while applying as it is highly, highly pigmented. I use the Sonia Kashuk skunk brush to lightly pat this on my cheeks, and it gives a very blood-rushed type of look. It is a pretty unique color, almost maroon. I think this is the type of color that, if applied correctly, will look good on almost any skin tone.

I have fair skin, neutral and with a few light yellow-based freckles. After reading all the reviews, I found Mounia online and just got it. While it's definitely intensely pigmented, way more than the others I have (Torrid, Oasis, Madly), the blood-based flush it creates is stunning. Contrary to a lot of users, I don't find a fluffier blush helpful, because you can't buff well. I have a cheapie flat-top brush that is quite stiff, and I think the trick will be to pick just a little product and buff it pretty firmly into the skin. Oh, and I finally understand why people complain about the feel of the packaging - the ones I bought here in Canada are silky-smooth, but the Mounia came from overseas and has a much more matte-rubber texture, way less enjoyable to touch. Oh well.

I'm obsessed with nars blushes and I've been wanting this blush for a while. The nars website describes it as cinnamon coral and I don't see the coral, to me mounia is more of a cinnamon berry and it is super pigmented I just lightly tap my brush on it and dab it on my cheek and blend. I think this blush would suit alot of skin tones it does have some shimmer but it gies your cheeks more of a sheen which makes it even prettier! I can't wait till it's starts to get cold so I can wear this blush as it seems like more of a winter blush.

my skin: NW 20 (Deauville)/Cool undertone but mostly on the neutral side(with some redness around my cheekbones)
Mounia is such a pretty blush. It's a brownish cinnamon red with the slightest amount of golden glitters. I think it would work on any skin undertones and through fair skin beauties to dark skin beauties depending on the amount you swipe across your face. However, it is SO pigmented. You really have to be careful when you apply it on your brush because it would make you look like a sun-burnt clown. So... what I usually do is...
1. Tap the blush brush LIGHTLY on to the blush.
2. Take a tissue and distribute the pigment around the brush.
3. Tap the brush once on to both sides of my cheeks.
4. Take a clean brush and blend the color in a circular motion.
(5. Blend it more using Nico blush. But this is totally optional. It does make your blush appear more natural and glowy without making it look chalky or overly white.)
Mounia appears as a pretty red/cinnamon color on my skin tone. It did take me a while to get used to it just because I'm not so light handed with my blush brush. But I'm sure all you beauty gurus will be able to handle it. It may make a fair skin look bit dirty since the blush has some brown to it and it can be hard to blend... so I took one lippy off.
All in all, it's a great autumn/winter blush! Don't be scared by the color! It's worth giving a shot! :)

I bought this a few months ago, but I couldn't figure out what to pair it with. Today I am wearing Viva Glam Cyndi w/ Half Red liner on the lips and this on the cheeks and it is GREAT!!! This blush is very pigmented as are all NARS blushes, so a little goes a long way. It gives a very nice flush to the cheeks.

This was my first Nars product ever! I got it a few years ago now and used it quite a lot at first, and still I there is no pan in sight! This is super super pigmented! While all of the Nars blushes have great pigment, I can tap my brush into this once and get both cheeks, seriously. Don't be fooled by the color, it's very flattering on many skin tones. I also love that the shimmer in here is the same color as the blush and it makes it look not over the top.

Very very VERY pigmented blush. A deep cinnamon shimmery berry red with a bit of brick brown in it. Easily blendable and very smooth texture! I absolutely LOVE the shimmer in this blush. For reference I am NC50/C8, very golden/yellow. It lasts all day! As with other NARS powder blushes, this is $26(a little steep I know, but worth it!) and comes in a square/rectangular black rubber compact with a nice sized mirror. Hate rubber the packaging, it Gets too dusty from the product and cleaning it is a pain. I'd buy this again, if I needed to.

Oh my! I bought this on a whim in Tokyo--I mean LOOK at that color...it's a gorgeous deep shimmery raspberry...
I bet I'd love it if I had a talented NARS makeup artist to apply this with a light hand every morning, but I am just too pale to work this one out.
Weep!

Well Ladies I just have to say "Oh My God what was I thinking". I bought this based on the color description on the NARS website. Cinnamon Coral. I have a thing for Coral and peach blushes lately. I recently bought MAC Notable and like it. So I thought that the Cinnamon would just darken the coral up a little bit. But when I opened this up, Holy Cow! That is Dark Brick Red! So I came here and started reading to see what was said. My first impressions was no way am I going to get this to work. It's just too dark. So I started reading which brush is best to use and so forth. I used it today and YEP! it is dark but YES I can make it work. But you have to use it very, very, very lightly. I used my MAC 187 and just barely touched the product then swirled it on the mirror as another reviewer mentioned before applying. I still had to go back over with a clean brush to buff out. But I liked the results. Kind of a wind burn look but not in a bad way. I only gave it 3 lippies because it's not a color for everyone. I'm about a NW20-25 and have warm/neutral undertones so it's workable for me. But IMO not a go to blush since it's hard to work with on lighter skins. Definately have to pare down the application when you reach for this. On the upside it will last you forever and you won't need to replace. ;-)

The official website describes this blush as cinnamon coral, which is really accurate on my NC20 skin. It can look elegant, but it's actually quite cute too! I recommend this blush for people with warm skin tones, or anyone that wants to make her/his entire look warmer. A light application of this blush achieves a healthy, awake glow, even without much shimmer.

It was love at first sight..... This blush is absolutely stunning!! plus.. it will last ages!! To do both cheeks I just need one very SLIGHT dab. Let me tell you... this flush looks absolutely natural, despite how dark and " scary" it looks in the pan. I would repurchase if I ever finished, but finishing is highly unlikely. :D! 25 dollars well spent!
UPDATE:
eh... I exchanged this blush for Orgasm... It's so pigmented that it was difficult to make it look even on my skin.

This is one of my three first NARS blushes I just purshased. I wanted something bright and pink yet natural when applied and this is perfect. It adds a rosy glow to my face that I love.

it's safe to say this blush is very unique. Looks a bit too dark and purple but applies beautifully and looks quite natural. As most nars blushes, it is very pigmented, therefor application can be a bit tricky. Such a staple color for a night out, i find it instantly defines my cheeks and contours a little. LOVE!!

This is another beautiful but "be warned" NARS blush for the fairer of our ladies. It is an incredibly deep berry pink that is ultra pigmented and if you dont have a light hand and a good brush then pay heed to the mirror before you leave the house! This is not a blush I'd recommend for daytime looks, nor for everyday looks on my pale olive tone and on the basis of that I wouldnt purchase this again, however our beautiful dark skinned ladies will probably get a huge kick out of this blush!
