Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
THAT CHEEK PALETTE. WANT.
It looks like a combo of Mata Hari, Amour, Albatross and Orgasm!
PS – Karen, have you noticed the weird plasticky scent in NARS glosses? I really loved the color Chihuahua, but I just couldn’t get over the scent, it was so disgusting. Do the newer “Larger Than Life” ones have that scent also?
OMG, YES. I can’t wear their glosses for this reason – the scent totally turns my stomach. But I haven’t tried the Larger Than Life glosses…
Karen, I’m loving Autumn Leaves on you!!!
Hi gals,
Oh, I totally know what you’re talking about. The Larger Than Life glosses don’t have that scent! 🙂
OH JOY. But seriously, double-yew-tee-eff NARS, can’t you do something about the scent? It’s real nassstyyyy.
I hate the smell of Sandpaper (Sandpiper?). Lovely colour. Rarely wear it because of the scent. Oddly, the much less beloved Turkish Delight does not seem to have the smell?
I really like the lip colors and the blush, the shadows would just look too pale and ashy on me!
Hi Ankita,
I hear ya. Maybe do a sheer wash? That might work.
HI Karen, I can’t wait, These look gorgeous.I love the eye makeup you have in your photos; which products did you use for your eyes?
Hi Dovey!
I’m wearing the Chanel Montaigne palette. I’ll have pics and swatches up in a few. 🙂
God Karen–how is it that EVERY. SINGLE. SHADE. in this collection looks *PERFECT* on you? It’s like the collection was made for you–I’m so serious right now. Jealous!
Hi Becca,
LOL, I dunno…the other day I tried on this pale, silvery shade just for fun and it looked pretty weird.
Hope you’re having a nice day so far. 🙂
You just created MAJOR lemmings here, MAJOR! I hope this collection is already in Taipei when I’m there, but if not I’ll have to wait for a while before I can purchase it online. SO MUCH PRETTINESS!!!
Have fun in Taipei, Sunny!
Oh my gosh. Eyeshadow trio looks beautiful! Can’t wait for the review 🙂
Hi Rachel,
Yay, I’m just about to dig into the trio! I’ll let you know if it’s good. 🙂
Gorgeous!! I love the looks you’ve created with these products, Karen — and the products themselves, of course 😉
Everything just looks so stunning, especially those blushers! I’m not terribly excited about the cheek palette (gold highlighters & I have never gotten along), but Outlaw and Undress Me look absolutely breathtaking.
Hi Rae,
Both of those are super cool. Undress Me even has this little silver flecks of glitter… so cute!
I hope you give the eye makeup a try. I think that trio would look fierce on you.
Wow, all the products look amazing. I really want the blush palette, can’t wait for your review. And the eyeshadow trio looks really pretty too.
Hi Agata,
How are you? I hope you’re doing well!
Random coffee talk: I’ve discovered that I’m not a big fan of arabica beans. I accidentally picked up a bag of arabica coffee last weekend… it’s so rich and almost smokey! I need mellow coffee, LOL!
Yes, Arabica and Columbia coffee beans are the strongest, which I actually like. I think you’d like the Starbucks Blonde roast, it’s pretty mellow but yet delicious.
I have been doing ok, less work than usual because my work is doing some system upgrades and not working makes me kinda depressed…My husband says I am a workaholic,lol.
We need a new expression; an armful of color 🙂
I really like the look you’ve created, so gorgeous.
Hi Kiss & Make-up,
That’s a good one! 🙂
Gosh I love this collection, especially the blush and the lip products! So vampy and appropiate for fall!
Hi Teri,
I’m glad you like it! NARS always does exciting stuff for fall. 🙂
Hope you’re having a great week so far.
Wow, gorgeous! I’m really digging this collection.
Hi Ruchita,
It’s beautiful, isn’t it? What do you think of the mix of cool-toned eye colors with the warm lip shades? I’m digging it!
Thank you for the swatches Karen! I wasn’t that impressed seeing stock pics but your swatches are amazing and now I want a lot of this collection. The nail color is gorgeous as is Outlaw blush and the Vent Glace eye shadow duo. Thanks a lot, Karen! LOL
P.S.-What is on your eyes?
Hi Cindy!
You’re welcome. 🙂 I’m glad you’re loving this collection!
On my eyes I’m wearing the Chanel Montiagne palette. I’ll have a review up in a few.
Those lip products look amazing! I want them all…my wallet is already crying.
Awesssssommmmessss…want..need..must have..:D
Dear Francois Nars,
Please stop releasing such fabulous collections. I am going broke because I buy so many of your great products.
Signed,
A Smitten Fan With Little Self Control
😀 😀
The Rouge Tribal lipgloss looks stunning on you, especially paired with this gray eye look! Totally my kind of color and I know it will hard to resist…
I’m curious about the Vent Glacé duo. In the pan, these look EXACTLY like a duo by Essence that I own, which unfortunately performs poorly.
Those look great on you! Now I know which lippies will work and which won’t.
I love this collection! It sure looks great on you!
You can really sell the Nars line. It all looks amazing on you, especially the Autumn Leaves lipstick and Storm Bird nail polish. I think the Storm Bird nail polish is calling my name – I have a Nars nail polish in Orgasm and it holds up really well to chips (I only paint my toes, and I have to keep my toes painted at all times so I’m always looking at new polishes to try out.).
I’m really loving this collection! I already ordered the cheek palette so I am super excited for it to arrive! But first I need to arrive home first haha!
I can’t wait to get my hands on outlaw! I think I am a little crazy about NARS blushes, I will never finish them, but I want to get my hands on all the ones they have!
And the lip products! I. Want. Them. ALLLLL!
You just made my night! I’ve been waiting for swatches of these! The polish and velvet gloss pencil are definitely on my shopping list for fall!
I am in love with the blush and lip products…..I think the eyeshadows may look chalky on me although we do share a similar coloring. I am lemming for Nars!
These Nars blushes are killing me. They are gorgeous! I need the Foreplay palette! How do you like the Multiple? I feel it’s too light for me :/
That blush is gonna have to come home with me, beautiful!
I need to get that blush palette, it’s so gorgeous!
I really like the lip products, especially the matte ones.
i sooooo want the cheek palate now…….:(
The Cheek Palette is such a nifty idea. I ordered the one that came out @ Nordies but I want this one too. 🙂
Ooh, I really like that blush palette! I can see several spots of pan on my Orgasm and was just thinking about getting a new one. But now, I’m excited about this. Thanks, Karen! 🙂
Rouge Tribal is so gorgeous on you!!
Omg I feel like Ive been waiting for this collection to come out for such a long time! So freking excite. The Amsterdam matt lipstick looks amazing on you, but I just wanted to ask, is it any similar to MACs Diva?
Wow, LOVE those purple ESs! Can’t wait to pick them up. 🙂
The lipgloss is totally stunning on you, Karen! Now I want it!
Ooooouuuu……that last swatch looks like you’ve been hanging with a vampire though lol
Love the cheek palette and the blush! The lipgloss looks really good in the tube, but doesn’t look like it applies even :(. The gloss pencil is the exact opposite! Looks really cute on you!
Wow, Autumn Leaves is GORGEOUS on you.
Where can I find the Nars Amsterdam? I went to Sephora and Nordstroms with no luck!
