Bundle: both items have remained in their original box the entire time I have owned them. They are brand spanking new with no dirty finger prints. For this reason the price is firm unless you would only like to purchase only one. Gaiety is $25 & Desire is $35 since it's been discontinued. Therefore you get more BANG for your BUCK if you purchase the bundle. I have several of these if anyone would like to purchase more than one. Stock up on your favorite blushes - Summer time is almost here! NARS Gaiety is described as a "bright candy pink." It's a cool-toned cotton candy pink with strong blue undertones and a mostly matte finish. Some Makeup guru's were inquiring about its similarity to NARS Desire, which I did not own previously, but now that I do, I can say that it's far, far different--Desire is darker, richer, much more intense overall.
