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.

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

[TKLJ]

STOP BEING GORGEOUS. 😛

[Mochapj]

Awwww, but I'm fluttering my lashes just for you 😉

[TKLJ]

OK, you won me over. I'm a sucker for a good flirting.

[TKLJ]

Also, real talk, that blush is really great and natural-looking on you (you, the queen of natural-looking blush).

[Mochapj]

Thank you, TK!  I love this blush color; I can't explain it but it makes me feel like my face has been photoshopped - it has amazing luminousity!

[spikeorrn]

Lovely!  You made me want banned now..

Edit: had a gift card so I picked up banned and ordered the duo hammamet.  I don't have any nars eyeshadow and while this is dupable, I wear these kind of colors a lot and liked that it had a companion matte with the shimmer.

[drrragon]

Oooh you're so pretty!  Banned looks awesome on you!  I've been waffling on Impassioned just because I already have similar colors, but somehow it keeps jumping back into my shopping cart! 😄

[Mochapj]

Aww, thank you drrragon!

i really wasn't expecting either of these colors to amount to much, but I'm loving them!

Hey Mocha,  Just stopping by to say thank you for the advice on the Audacious...I swatched Fanny and Anna, as well as Michiyo--which was bright like you said.  So different than on my computer.  I ended up going with Anna for the moment since it seemed more wearable for everyday, and next time I may get Fanny.  Thank you!

[spikeorrn]

Anna is my favorite of the five I have - Audrey, Anna, Fanny, Jane & Vera.  Hope you love it!

[Mochapj]

Yay, so glad you found one you love! 😉

[Mochapj]

Not sure how well this is going to show up, but I'm using Impassioned blush today.  

IRL it shows up as a subtle, pink flush, but trying to capture that on camera without my phone is troublesome.

Some swatches:

Tarvos, Impassioned, Banned Red

Banned Red:

[Grahamcrackers]

Love all three swatches. But impassioned is gorgeous.

[Mochapj]

It is a lovely, subtle colour.  I worried it wouldn't show up on me, but I really like it.

[malday]

Any Banned Red dupes you can think of offhand? Or anything you might remember me wearing that's similar? Haha

[Mochapj]

It reminds me of something in the Audacious line, honestly.

I have to pull out my stash and do some swatching, because off hand I can't put my finger on what it is.

[malday]

Maybe Audrey?

[Mochapj]

Swatches for m'lady malday 😉

I picked the 7 other closest things I could think of.

On the top we have Leslie, Audrey, Sandra, Jeanne, Olivia

On the bottom is Femme Fleur and VIP Red.

The base color is closest to Femme Fleur, but FF has shimmer.  The closest I am coming up in my collection is Leslie, which is the same tone, but a lot more opaque.  

[malday]

I was going to say it looks like a mix between Femme Fleur and Leslie before I continued reading. Hmm, I'm sure I have something similar so I can probably pass. Thank you mocha!

[Gwenhwyfar]

'Banned Red' looks so pretty in general and amazing on you! It looks like a "Marsala"-like pinkish brick red?

How would you described 'Impassioned'? Is it pale peachy like 'Sex Appeal' or more nude or mauve?
