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.

APRIL 2019: NARS x CONNOR TINGLEY

Spoiler

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

[Mochapj]

@sarahshter I'm not sure if it's that it's too shiny, but it has a lot of obvious, chunky glitter.

for someone who has beautiful, tight skin it might work, but I think it would overemphasize pores a lot.

[sarahshter]

Thanks, definite option but I might stick with my Amazon clay.  I think lunar would be beautiful on the eyes though.  😉

[spikeorrn]

Thanks for swatches.  Is pygar greener on your skin IRL?

[Mochapj]

@spikeorrn Pygar is definitely not a gold lame on my skin.  I thought it came off almost pewter-ish.  

The top photo is in the shade, and the bottom is in direct sun.  In direct sun it takes on a slight greenish tint, but overall I find it almost silvery.

[spikeorrn]

It's an interesting effect.  Reminding me of Heaven by Ardency Inn.  In T's swatches I thought I saw green micro glitters.

[michelleshops]

It looks a lot like Heaven.  That was my first thought when I swatched it!

[KMariel]

@Mochapj I found this swatch comparison on Instagram, I'm glad the formula is better but the color difference isn't enough for me to spend the $25. It does look very different in Temptalia's swatch but I'm going to take that one with a grain of salt.

[Mochapj]

@KMariel I ended up comparing them since I was in store today (and then with Parallel Universe when I got home)

The only difference I noticed was in opacity and obvious glitter between both sets of shades.  But the actual colors look pretty spot-on on me too.

[KMariel]

Thanks! That's close enough for me, I don't use Parallel Universe enough to justify getting Lunar and Earthshine. 

[Mochapj]

Oh, that is close too!

I always take T's swatches with a grain of salt because the lighting is so over the top.  

[ournursie]

I completely agree, especially her lip swatches. They're waaaaaay off from what the colours look like in reality.

[Mochapj]

swatches are up at Temptalia too

Bubbly Michelle updated on the discontinued Audies:

Michiyo, Leslie, Jeanne, Deborah, Geraldine

Dang, 4 of those are faves of mine 😞

[Miradan]

On Specktra, they're saying it's Marlene being pulled, not Deborah.

[TKLJ]

Good, this will keep me from swatching Geraldine every time I go to the store. I do not need another orange lipstick! But I am drawn like a moth to the (very orange) flame.

[v0ltagekid]

Deborah won't be discontinued - instead they are taking marlene - as per my AE and regional trainer

[michelle164]

wait they are discontinuing Jeanne ?! NOOOO 😞

[Mochapj]

@michelle164 it is making an appearance in one of the upcoming Sarah moon sets for holiday, but is supposedly leaving the permanent line.

boo.

[KMariel]

From makeupandbeautyblog. She is wearing Parallax in the top pic.

Earthshine and Lunar look like the shades from the Parallel Universe duo which I already have, along with Stud and Outer Limits, so just Pygar and Parallax for me.

[JenniferOhJenny]

I apologize if this has been mentioned before but does Sephora have the names for some of these mixed up on the product page? I really love Lunar (as pictured above) but the description on the product page is that is a metallic, dove gray. I think they have it switched with Parallax. 

[Mochapj]

@JenniferOhJenny they do have them mixed up, with names and photos.

Parallax is the grey and Lunar is the purple.  I saw them in store today and can confirm those colors match those names.
