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!

[Gwenhwyfar]

This was my first thought! What is the giant bullet?

[Mochapj]

More details from the previous IG poster.

the DI palette has 3 NEW shades plus subra

[annec322]

Lovely...does anyone know the price yet?

[Mochapj]

Well, from the picture I posted, it appears to be NT$2050 😛

[annec322]

Maybe I can use a currency converter...lol

$2050 Taiwan dollars translates to $62.07 US.  I hope it won't really be that much considering the 8 shadow palette was $80, I was hoping more for a $40 price point...

[annypoo]

Same I'm hoping for 40, maybe 50 at the highest... 62 would be a little high. 

[Mochapj]

And a closer look at the DI shadow palette:

Looks like Telesto or possibly Pasiphae, random brown, Subra and Sycorax, IMO.

Need - need - this

You know I wasn't a big fan of the DI blush formula because I felt it took so many passes to get the colour to show up on my skin tone, so that's the only thing that has me somewhat scared of picking the DI eyeshadows up.

[Mochapj]

njattana, I think you and I have fairly similar skintones.

I have most of the existing line of DI shadows, and I find all except the navy blue one show up well on me.  Of course, since they can also be used wet, you can definitely increase the intensity.  

Also, I found with the blushes, it wasn't so much the blush that was the problem, but the brush I was trying to use with it.  Once I stopped using my super soft cheek brushes, they had much better pigmentation.  I think they are just pressed really firm like those Clinique cheek pops, so they need a scratchier brush to pick up the color.

[njattana]

The brush may have been it then, I think I used my tapered ELF blush brush which isn't super dense or scratchy.

Would you say the eyeshadows are the same in the sense that you need a particular brush type?

[Mochapj]

No, I haven't had nearly as much hassle with the shadows as I had when I first got the blushes.

The shadows have worked well with both my natural bristle and synthetic brushes.  If I'm using them dry I usually do natural, and if I'm using them wet, I usually use synthetic.  

[njattana]

Ah ok thanks for the tip!

[MK89]

I've been wanting Pasiphae forever...hopefully it's included here and there's not much crossover with the big DI palette.

[Mochapj]

Ok, I went and re-read the original poster on IG.  The gold shade is the palette exclusive color, so I think the other 3 are shades existing in the line.

[MK89]

Thanks for checking! Will probably be a pass for me then

[ivyxox]

The second shade looks a little bit like himalia.

[meganlisa]

I can't deal with this thread.  Too much temptation!

[jessyiniowa]

Oh gosh, WANT. Right now. These are perfect colors for me!

[Vineetha]

I dont think it is Telesto. The post mentions an exclusive shade to the palette. The other three are existing ones!! Was too excited for this one but 3 overlapping shades with the other X8 palette which i have makes it a no go for me now 😞

[Mochapj]

Does the post verify that the others are Subra and Sycorax, because I was just guessing at those.  

The mystery brown *could* be Ursa from the bigger DI palette and the goldish could could be the exclusive.  Who knows?

[annypoo]

Any idea on price point? I'm guessing around 40-50?.
