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!

A beauty YouTuber said on SnapChat last night that the Nars "crystal" powder (I think she was referring to the Light Reflecting Powder) was being discontinued. Has anyone else heard this? The loose version is my HG! 😞

[lysbainch]

I have the pressed one in my Loves list and it states not available in the US under it, or something like that. I hope your loose isn't being discontinued. I hate losing a HG product. 

[malday]

Perhaps they meant the pressed version, I don't even see it on the US site.

[ShadesOfYellow]

You're right, I hadn't noticed that. It's says "currently out of stock" on the Nars site too.

The Despair palette is available at beauty(dot)com, which has its 20% F&F sale going on.

If you can't find the sale banner on the website, pm me your email address and i will forward the email with the link 🙂

EDIT: Jazachai told me that the 20% FF sale can be accessed via Ebates!

[JazaChai]

Yup. It's one of the "promo codes" they have listed, and it applies automatically when you use that button to click through.

Despair is now mine! Not too disappointed Sephora doesn't have it, as I still got the discount and now don't have to chance the scrum of the sale weekend.*

*The ONE sale weekend, because apparently "Rouge gets all VIB benefits" is now a lie *grumblegrumble*

[TKLJ]

Just PM'd you, thanks!

[TriesToBoClassy]

pm'd back!

[enableme]

I swatched "Stud" and "No Shame" at one of my local stores and while I didn't need any more persuasion, I immediately ordered Stud. Haha

[mkbarnes]

I can't wait to get the One Shocking Moment palette and Isolde eyeshadow during the VIB Rouge sale! 

[missrubybabii]

I'm a little late to the party but the audacious ipsticks are AMAZING. I have Raquel and Anita and they are super gorg!! The formula and lasting power on these babies are to die for. 

[njattana]

Wasn't the Despair palette supposed to be up on the site today??

For those of you that purchased it, how is the quality of the blushes in comparison to the regular individual blushes?

[ivyxox]

I'm not so sure if Sephora will be carrying the gift sets and palettes. I was at my local Sephora today and saw the display. It looks like they only have DI blush, eyeshadow single, DI eyeshadow palette, 3 lipsticks and 3 lipgloss. (Of course, they have both Sephora-exclusive items)

[TKLJ]

I've been despairing over the lack of Despair all day. 😞

[njattana]

As long as it's up before our 3 day sale *eyeroll*

[TKLJ]

Indeed.

[Mochapj]

Yes, it was.  The whole collection was supposed to be up today.  Pieces of it seem to have gone up yesterday, but there are still others missing.  Not all the eyeshadows or glosses are up, and I haven't seen either of the 3 piece lip kits up yet.

I have found the quality of the blushes in the Despair palette to be the same as the full size blushes.  They are pigmented and not super powdery (i.e. don't make a mess when you put a brush in)

[Sprytely]

Pigmented and stayed all day, I really like them. I ended up using Nico over top to kind of tone everything down but I'm also very pale and have a lot of red in my cheeks naturally so color gets pretty intense pretty quickly on me.

[guzelkiz]

I wore Scarlet Empress today and I am really digging the formula.  Seems that the more shades I try (so far Dragon Girl and VIP Red plus this one) the more I like it.  I may have to start looking at the other shades in this line...

[sweetxteeth]

i was able to swatch most of the items i was interested in and i'm kinda disappointed..at least it saves me some money for some items from the regular collection..kinda bummed b/c the packaging is cool

[EvangelineDamon]

Which items didn't impress you?

I'm kind of hoping the same thing will happen to me. ha ha
