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!

@Mochapj Hell Gate is beautiful on you!! And I suspect Hot Tin Roof will be as well. 

Any thoughts on Frioul? I am worried it is too sheer, but at the same time that sort of shade in a sheerer formula could be nice.. I just don't want it to look patchy or odd. But sometimes darker shades can look too intense on me, so perhaps this could be an option.

[Mochapj]

Thank you @lachaton ! Summer Fire is stunning on you!

I think Frioul is semi-sheer - it took me quite a few scribbles to get it to that opacity, so I assume that may be intentional, and not just poor quality? I haven't seen any promo ads for the collection yet though, so I'm not entirely sure.

I think the thing that surprised me is it doesn't seem nearly as peacock as I would expect given the shade description. I'm going to try wearing it tomorrow and will let you know how it wears - that said, it has longevity - I couldn't get it off my arm, even with micellar water 😮

My order for the Nars Spring 2018 collection just arrived - just dropping off some swatches 🙂

Ooooh, that blush is so pretty! Wish I could wear something like that. The color is right up my alley. But, the shimmer! Oy!

That lipstick is just perfect on you, @lachaton  !

@lachaton - Thanks for the swatches and pic.  That lip color looks so nice on you!

[Kim888]

@lachaton thank you for the swatches! that color looks so beautiful on you!

Looking gorgeous as usual @lachaton! I can't decide whether I want Summer Fire...I think the shimmer is very pretty but I rarely wear pink lipstick!

Holding out to see more swatches of Under Arrest as well!

[lachaton]

@k617 The shimmer in Summer Fire is very, very fine - not nearly as much as I expected! So perhaps that may sway your decision 🙂

@Titian06 I find a lot of lipsticks look darker on me! I am quite taken with this one though 🙂 

[Titian06]

@k617 - I'm the same.  However, this pick is darker in @lachaton's swatch and pic.  I need to see a few more swatches/pics.

[Mochapj]

Temptalia had swatches of the spring collection @lachaton

[Kim888]

I really love the look of summer fire!

[k617]

I like all of the Lip Covers....nooooooo

[ChristalM]

Can someone educate me please. What is the difference between the lip covers and the lip glide formula?

[Mochapj]

@ChristalM @Titian06 - I have a few of both and can provide a bit of feedback on that.

The lipcovers that were released in Summer '16 are a very similar texture to the Marc Jacobs Le Marc Liquid Lipsticks, in that it's a liquid lipstick but it never dries down, transfers and is not matte. They're a really nice, creamy formula.  I'm quite excited they've brought the formula back because I really liked it and wanted other shades 🙂

The lip glides are thinner, more translucent and more jelly/cushion formula, and definitely more glossy.

Hope that helps!

[Titian06]

Thanks, @Mochapj!  I went away thinking these were the reverse of what you are describing.  I look forward to your thoughts once you get Hell Gate.  That's the one I'm looking at too.

[ChristalM]

@Mochapj it does help! Thanks. I love the look of the Hell gate one  but wasn't sure about the formula since I didn't love the Lip Glide's formula.

[Mochapj]

Hell Gate does look stunning. It's one of the pieces I've ordered from the spring collection.

I'll let you know how it compares to the others once mine arrives 😉

[Titian06]

@ChristalM - I did a search on Google and looked on NARS website.  I could not find a definative answer.  The best I can tell from the NARS website is the lip cover has a luminous finish and can only be found under lip gloss and the lip glide has a semi-matte finish and can be found under both lip gloss and lipstick.

[ChristalM]

@Titian06 Ah thanks for the sleuthing! 🙂

[Titian06]

@ChristalM - lol...I wanted to be Nancy Drew when I grew up!

The NARS concealer looks so good!  I'm going to buy it the next 2x/3x points promo or discount comes out.
