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!

A NARS blush palette that I actually want!! 😮

[kso1225]

3 new blush shades plus Nico! So glad to see a palette without orgasm or deep throat!

[Gwenhwyfar]

Ohhh, blush palette. I need to know what it in it.

[Vineetha]

3 new shades & 1 existing shade - Savage, Ferocious, esoteric & Nico!! 🙂

[Gwenhwyfar]

Oh, great. Now I need it (after verifying by looking at swatches, of course). Do you happen to know if they going to be released as new single blushes or if they are LEs exclusive to this palette?

[JazaChai]

Oooo new shades... The reddish one looks very pretty - a matte version of the red-burgundy in the DI blush maybe?

[annypoo]

Nars needs to stop coming out with all these blush palettes because I end up buying one each year. 

[Sprytely]

So so pretty!

First off, thank you Mochapj for maintaining this thread!

Secondly, if you are subscribed to NARS emails you mail have received this great little promotion

Do you know what shade the blush is in? I'm guessing Orgasm, but I hope not. 😄

[abbeyswihart]

i believe it is orgasm!

[v0ltagekid]

It's orgasm! 

[Mochapj]

I did, thanks Abbey!

[Gwenhwyfar]

I can't wait to see more of the Steven Klein holiday collection. But, I don't know if I will be getting anything because I was hoping for a LE standard blush. I haven't jumped on the DI blush thing yet... Someone convince me to!

[Mochapj]

Gwen, Jem, I'm surprised both of you haven't tried the DI blushes, TBH.  I find them a lot sheerer than the regular blushes, and I think of the both of you as sheer makeup mavens, so... 😮

[Gwenhwyfar]

But. THE SHIMMER. I don't like shimmer face. I mean, I like shimmer face, but only when it is on my terms. I think that's the main reason I'm reluctant to get them... I just prefer mattes.

[Mochapj]

Most of them actually buff down to a satin matte if you are using the right brush.  

A fluffy brush does not work with these.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Hmmm. Perhaps I do need to reconsider. Tell me more about this "no fluffy brush" thing. What kind of brush should I use with them?

[Mochapj]

Well, I bought the specific DI brush after I was having problems with mine, but any densely packed slightly stiff brush would do.  The NARS one looks like this:

[Gwenhwyfar]

Hmmm. What about a flat buffing brush? I have this one, and it's really dense. I usually use it to apply my LM baked highlighter to the high points of my face.
