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!

[Sprytely]

I'm in the US, I will definitely check out that code! Thanks 🙂

[jcmb]

Ok good, get that extra eyeliner girl!!! And you deserve it...Happy Birthday!!!! 🙂 🙂

[Sprytely]

Thanks! 

[Mochapj]

Those are all great products, and I can personally recommend all except Silvia (because I don't have)

i'm guessing you like purples?  Nothing else specific comes to mind, but if there is a category you're thinking you want another item from, I could make recommendations.

i think they still have a promo code for the mini mascara happening.

[Sprytely]

Purples are a relatively recent discovery for me after getting a lipstick in a subscription box and realizing it actually looked good (particularly since I've been keeping purple in my hair)!  Previously I've stuck more with corals and nudes. I'm branching out! 

I was debating concealer but I don't think it's light enough for me. I'm actually extremely tan for me at the moment but we are heading into fall/winter...

I cant think of anything specific, mostly because TBH I want all of it! Just trying to prioritize. 🙂

I'm super pale and the lightest shade of Nars creamy concealer works great. However, just an FYI and I am not at all comparing the 2 except to say they have similar delivery systems, but the new Sephora Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer comes in a very light shade. I swatched it in the store but I did not swatch it next to Nars' Chantilly but I was impressed by how light and bright the Sephora one was (Baravian cream 01). I think I may purchase it since it's 1) cheaper 2) a different formulation and I like to mix things up! However, I doubt I will ever be without my Nars creamy concealer...ever. Lol!!

If you like a nice white/gold highlighter, Albatross is divine!

And how could I forget my lovely eyeshadow duo Kauai!!! It takes my breathe away!! 🙂

[Mochapj]

Yeah I wouldn't recommend buying concealer sight unseen.  Recipe for heartache 😉

[Sprytely]

Hah, going to swatch it is painful enough. "What do you mean they don't make the shade "ghost"?! lol

[kbmatthews]

I'm also very pale. I can't wear MAC foundations, I'm so pale.

Chantilly is a great colour for a concealer. Worth trying 🙂

[jcmb]

No really, go swatch and you'll be fine! I'm pretty sure jemly uses the Nars creamy concealer and she's pale too and there are a lot of us other pale girls around who use it. I'll tell you one concealer I like but it's not light enough and that's Mac 's pro long wear concealer. I really like it but I have to lighten it up or use the Becca eye brightener underneath. I've never been color matched at Mac but I'd say I'm like NC-5 or below and their concealer only goes down to NC-15. Yeah...really. But I still like it and there's ways to get around that (also by adding a tinge of the Color fx drops, I have the lightest color) or by mixing with another lighter concealer. I can still use it by itself but it doesn't give me the brightness like Nars Chantilly does. 

Go forth, swatch and CONQUER!!! Lol! 😄

Guys! I'm SOOO excited!!! I had a tough day yesterday and that typically means some after work wine (yes, big girl problems)... Anyway, I decided to get on eBay and take a look around. I found Nars Amarena and the auction was ending 6 hours after I saw it. No bids! the starting bid was $22, and I won! I woke up this morning and saw that. I forgot how it all happened, but I was happy to see that I got it! I saw Mocha in it this week and knew I needed it. 😉 Thanks for the enabling MPJ! 

[greenchilli]

YAY!

[mrsbaine]

I'm pretty excited about it. It will be my third Nars blush. The collection is building. 

[Mochapj]

Yay!!!  That's a good one 😉

[TKLJ]

Mocha (+ others), you're my Nars blush queen. Do I want Angelika? I realized I don't really have a light pink "stereotypical" blush color from Nars—and obvs I need one.

[flyte]

I've had Angelika for years and I keep forgetting to use it, but when I do I am like ahhh i look so dolly! (in a good way). Im about NC20-25 and the sparkles do show up on my cheeks, but very sparse and not in a disco ball way at all!

[Anonymous]

Hi there! I have about the same skin tone as you and I have and LOVE Angelika. It gives the perfect flush to my cheeks and a nice glow. It doesn't look sparkly on me at all.

[TKLJ]

Thanks for the review, Kat! I guess I'm going to have to haul tuckus over to a Sephora and swatch it after all.

[Anonymous]

Your so welcome! Do you have the dolce vita blush? It is another one of my faves!

[Mochapj]

Aw, blush queen - you're the cutest! 😄

i have swatched Angelika dozens of times over the years but never bought.  It's very sparkly and the silver ones in particular are quite visible on my skintone.  If that doesn't bother you, id say go for it, although I think they'd probably be less visible on your tone too.  But if it does, I can recommend desire or gaiety.  Both are soft matte cooler pinks.

[TKLJ]

Ah, sparkles! That's a no, then. Thanks for warning me. Gaiety was actually my second choice, so I'll have to look into it further. (Talking to you is much more convenient than going to the store to swatch.) 🙂
