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.

SPRING 2019:

Spoiler

APRIL 2019: NARS x CONNOR TINGLEY

Spoiler

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

[Ashletta216]

I certainly hope so.I was wondering if it was the Anniversary sale palette. I have never seen an item say "Sold out" when it became unavailable at Nordstrom. So, we shall see. Anyway, I wonder how the palette compares to the Banc De Sable.

[Mochapj]

The lightest shade (Rivage) is in the Banc de Sable palette.

I don't see anything as dark as the darkest shade from BdS in the Bord du Plage, but the middle shade from BdS looks like it could be similar to Cirque or Galet.

[Ashletta216]

I actually have the Banc De Sable, as well as the Casino Sunwashed bronzer. Maybe this was a pass for me anyway. Although, if it comes back in stock, I'm probably going to buy it. Thanks for all of your help.

Oh no! I hope it comes back though.  I like the look of it.  Thx @Mochapj

Some swatches of the new highlight palette and 3 new shadow sticks from Really Ree:

I'm really excited they're making a Nepal shadow stick - one of my favourite NARS singles 🙂

ETA: I thought the name sounded familiar so I googled - Dark Angel was previously LE released as part of the 'Opening Act' collection from Spring 2015.

@Mochapj DARK ANGEL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mochapj]

@jemly I was getting ready to call my Nordies SA to order Nepal and considering Dark Angel.

i checked my stash and I already own it from last time they released it 🤣

At least I'm consistent.

[jemly]

[veronika23]

This color is GORGEOUS! Another sneak a peek at the new powermatte lip pigment

[malday]

Shade is "Get it Off On" (NARS originally said "off" on their IG post 😂, I should've known better)

[veronika23]

Thanks so much @malday 🙂

Realistically, how long do you keep the multiple for? It says 12 months on the package, which would make mine expired. I just took a paper towel with some rubbing alcohol and cleaned the casing, then took a clean knife and cut about 1/3rd of an inch off the end of mine. The cream doesn't seem dried out at all and there's so much left I feel weird about throwing it out. 

[Mochapj]

@purly generally I keep using them until I notice a change in either texture or scent (or both)

But I also regularly spritz mine with alcohol so YMMV.

[purly]

I was considering switching to the method of shaving a bit off the end and then using that bit, which is what I usually do with lip and cream palettes. In theory if I only touch it with clean tools, it ought to last until the texture changes.

@Madeline7 @Mochapj thanks for feedback. i emailed nars and they said it must be defective so back this goes to Sephora. i know when i opened it initially the lid was really hard to get off so maybe it damaged the pump somehow. i have the orgasm and it's really pretty on your skin

[melanito]

I just am trying out my Nars liquid blush and am noticing I'm having it leak on the side of the pump. Anyone else noticing this or is it defective. I also find the consistency is very water like and notice pigment really built up on sides of the bottle and am not sure if I should be shaking it.  Can anyone else who has tried it out let me know if you have found yours to be the same?

[Madeline7]

@melanito I've seen some people on instagram mentioning their bottle did the same thing.  It could be a leak

[Mochapj]

@melanito I purchased 2 and they are watery.

They should definitely be shaken before use.

Personally I find the pump gives out more product than I want with a full pump so I cover the opening with a finger while I pump to only pump a little out.

If it's outright coming out the sides of your pump that sounds defective.

A few photos of the new power mattes in action - London Calling and Starwoman (a play on Bowie, perhaps?)

[KMariel]

From mua Lottie Tomlinson/lotstar on periscope. Swatches of the new Power Matte liquid lips. I didn't write down the shade names but the periscope is still up if you want to check it out. Apparently it will be out July 5 on the Sephora app, July 6 Nars website and boutiques and I think it will be back at Sephora and other retailers July 13.
