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

[flyte]

such a great value! but i just got the dual intensity palette and i have to tell myself no ;___;

[blackkitty2014]

But but the palette doesn't have these shades @flyte 😉 I think I will sleep on it until the 6th

[blackkitty2014]

Oh so tempting especially when I don't have any of these

[Libellules]

Same @blackkitty2014 :x

Bah. I've been avoiding this thread so I won't covet Unfiltered II. FAIL. I covet.

Ooo thanks for the swatches @kso1225. Does the texture/quality seem the same in the palettes as the permanent pans? Are you happy with the quality so far?

Mine are still on the way 😄

[kso1225]

@jesscheems Yes! I really love the quality of these palettes - they seem just like the full sizes. The lightest shade in 2 was a little powdery/chalky, but not any different than my full size Sex Appeal.

I remember you saying you returned the Give in Take palette and I just recently used that one and thought the quality was poor too.  Sadly that one is getting returned, but these palettes are so much better!

[Libellules]

@kso1225 I played with mine this morning and have to second your thoughts on the quality on these!

I originally wanted that Give In Take palette too, but was incredibly underwhelmed (it looked so boring :x), then the reviews started coming in and they weren't great 😕

[jesscheems]

@kso1225 Okay perfect! Thank you. So excited 😃 I had no NARS blushes and really wanted just one (or two or three or four....) and when I saw these palettes I knew they would be the best option especially with the colouring because these palettes should work for many skintones. 

I did return that one and had no intention of returning it but I just wasn't happy with the overall quality/pigmentation. Thank goodness these palettes are better *yayyyyyy*

[Mochapj]

Thanks for all the swatches @kso1225 - glad to see I was pretty spot on with most of my color matching 😂

[kso1225]

@Mochapj I was quite impressed as I did the swatches because I remembered your comment. You're pretty much our resident color encyclopedia 😉 

[Mochapj]

Lol thanks @kso1225!

would you believe I suck at remembering names and whatnot but for some reason I have a very good color memory 😂 Too bad it has a very limited usefulness!

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @kso1225. Nars is killing me with these 2 palettes and chic thrill DI cheek set. I don't need any yet I want them all

[talinder]

Wow this is a great deal on Audacious lippies if you've wanted these shades: Carmen, Julie, and Dominique for $65 NARS direct; Spiked Audacious set

[Anonymous]

@talinder I went over and it's showing at $65 for me.  Did you apply a code?

[txcatx]

$65 for me, too. But the code DARETOLOOK still works for free mascara, eyeliner, and eye makeup remover.

[talinder]

@Anonymous No joke, the price just changed. Must have been an error for a moment. Unless I was blind. But I double checked the price before posting. I will say I had trouble pulling it up at first. The site was being wonky. Will update. Sorry about that.

[Libellules]

@talinder you are definitely not blind! It was $45 for a hot minute, but NARS caught it 😛

[talinder]

Thank you @Libellules I was afraid it was pregnancy brain, but i was certain I'd seen $45.
