Let's Talk About NARS!

[Mochapj]

A lot of the other big beauty brands have their own threads now, so I thought, why not NARS? Let's share news about new collections, feedback on products, etc here.

The audacious thread: http://community.sephora.com/t5/Lips/Show-Me-Your-Audacious-Collection/m-p/1695820#M10941

SPRING 2019:

Spoiler

APRIL 2019: NARS x CONNOR TINGLEY

Spoiler

Have you picked up anything from the collection so far? Do tell!

[annec322]

Yes, I believe so.  It wouldn't make sense to only be able to order refills all at one time with the purchase of a palette every time.  I was able to order just a palette so I think its all sold separately...try it!

[brittieeee]

What I love most about Nars?

30% pro discount!  So always buy online Not @ Sephora.

Looking forward to the new customized palettes!

Well, it looks like I'll be going broke this Christmas.  But my makeup will be awesome. ❤️

[jemly]

oh god that DI blush is beyonnnnd. 

[Mochapj]

I know, right?  It's like the perfect burgundy.

[guzelkiz]

I saw this and while the right side of that DI blush looks awesome the left side looks terrifying (I can just see it being ashy on me).  I wish I could just get the right side.

[JazaChai]

OH my that DI blush color... *swoon*

So I was very excited about the DI blush when it first came out, and then a lot of reviews were very meh about it. Is it worth getting as a product in general?

[Mochapj]

I have all 6 of the original ones and I find it also somewhat depends on the type of brush you use to apply them.  I had trouble applying them with my typical fluffy blush brush, and it wasn't until I picked up the DI brush that NARS put out that I was happier with them.  In hindsight I think any stiffer, denser brush works well with them.

My favorite out of all of them is Craving, which is ironic because it was the one I was sure I wouldn't buy when they came out.

[guzelkiz]

Wow I'm surprised you like Craving the most.  That was one of the ones I glossed over because the colors didn't seem like they'd be that good.

[Mochapj]

I thought so too, until I swatched it in store at the Spring Rouge event.

I thought the brown was going to be a kind of blah contour color, but I can actually use it for a natural toned blush.  And the white side is a gorgeous opalescent highlighter.

I think the only one that I'm not super crazy about is the double pink one (Adoration?)  I like the bright pink, but the baby pink isn't my style. 

[guzelkiz]

That's really surprising.  I added it to my loves list to check out in store 😉

I agree.  I'm not a fan of baby pink at all.  

How about Frenzy?  I've had it on my loves list forever but I keep forgetting to take a look in store.

[Mochapj]

Frenzy is really good, too.  I actually didn't buy Jubilation in the first round of ones I bought because I thought the gold in it and Frenzy would be basically the same.

My list of preference on them would be;

Craving

Frenzy

Panic

Jubilation

Fervor

Adoration

Nothing wrong with Jubilation, but I have so many other highlight products I always forget to wear this.  I thought I would really love Fervor too, but I found one side a bit difficult to work with because it had a really metallic sheen.  Still a pretty color, but it's more of a pain to work with so I don't reach for it.

[guzelkiz]

I went straight for Jubilation because I'm a highligher junkie (as if that's news ;;) )  I love it though.

Panic was the one I was immediately drawn to when we first heard these were coming out (I love me some color).  I think next time I'm in the store I need to swatch them all.  

[guzelkiz]

Jaza, my opinion on the DI blushes is it depends on the shade.  I have Jubilation and Fervor.  I bought Jubilation as a highlighter duo (they're just not "blush" colors) and it is fabulous.  I absolutely love both shades and I use them quite a bit.  Fervor, on the other hand, is more of a "blush" duo but I'm just meh about it.

I'd suggest actually swatching them in store and see if you like both colors in the duo.

I have to say i am really glad they're doing this. There's a few nars e/s ive wanted but i don't like single / duo pkg. so i got rid of most of what i had and now only buy single pans i can customize. Il definitely be buying a few to try. I just  bought another zpalette so idk that Il be buying the nars palette right away, maybe at a later pt. The pans are still kinda pricey anyway lol

[newandaddicted]

Not interested in the palette but pans I can buy and put in my Z palette?  I'm all over that.  Is the top see through...don't know why companies think we don't want to see all the makeup before we open the palette.

[SHolmes221]

All the colors are soooo preeeeeetty. I'm captivated by this photo 😄
