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!

@MochapjI was able to put one of the eyeshadow duos in my basket (haven't checked out yet, though). Are you on your computer or on the app? I'm working via my laptop.

[Mochapj]

@LolliLove I tried on the app and my laptop but I'll clear my cache and try again.

thanks!

[LolliLove]

@Mochapj I spoke too soon...they let me put it in the basket last night, but now it's not in there. *grumble*

[Mochapj]

Boo!  They must've put them up in error 😞

[nche]

@Mochapj Were you able to get it? I have no luck either

[Mochapj]

@nche I wasn't.  I cleared, restarted, etc and now I don't see them at all 😮 even with that link.

Frack. Naturally, I want the light shade from Old Church Street and the dark shade from Rue Allent. I'll need to see them in person, but I suspect this means I'll be picking up both once they hit stores.

The Pro brushes and Charlotte Gainsbourg collection are up on the Nars website now.

@KMariel Just visited the official Nars site for the first time in ages (so much for being notified when it finally launched!) and was so thrilled to see Charlotte on the front page. Very interested in that Glow Tint . . . too bad I just ordered a Dr. Jart BB yesterday to replace the bareMinerals Complexion Rescue I'm sending back tomorrow (Sephora's going to hate me).  😂

@Anonymous That whole brush set looks AMAZING and I want it. If only. I usually limit myself to the Sephora Pro brushes, but only recently have I realized that it's been a (mostly) hit or (occasionally) miss experience . . . if anyone remembers those "innovative" Philippe di Méo IT brushes.

I'm pretty excited about Nars pro brushes. They look like Hakuhodo but the handle's so sleek and modern. I ordered small and regular brightener brush 0.0 I'm very much interested in the finisher brush  so if anyone gets it review please ❤️

ok so ! i was super excited about the launch of these new sheer non glittery bronzers. i've recently fallen into loving bronzer (not to look tanned but just to give my face a warm dimension) and had yet to decide which full size bronzer to buy. 

what's super cool is the shade range -- 4 shades and one supposedly designed for fair skin. AWESOME ! but i immediately noticed on blogs how orange the lightest shade 'seaside' looked, and how laguna looked the same amount of lightest but just a different--more bronzey--tone. so i went in today and swatched and even talked to an equally pale salesperson about how we both felt laguna looked more suitable for our pale skins. now, i'm sure NARS had something in mind with this seaside shade (maybe for pale skins with more pink undertones ?), and i'm no bronzer expert. but i went with my gut and got laguna.

comparing swatches in natural lighting:

here it is:

Wow seaside looks like a blush

[LolliLove]

Laguna looks really nice in your swatch! I don't like the original Laguna, but perhaps I'd like the glitter-less version...

That being said, I currently love my UD Beach Bronzer too much to stray.

We need to discuss the Unfiltered 2 blush palette.

I purchased this online after seeing people rave about NARS blushes everywhere, and when it arrived it swatched terribly. However, I was willing to give it another chance due to the fact that i spent 50 dollars on it.

Lo and behold! It's gorgeous on the skin! My everyday go to, plus golden sands makes a killer highlight.

[MariekeBT]

@TayllorM, I'm glad you like it! The first brush I used did not work well with it so I didn't think much, but when I went back with a different brush and it worked so much better! I'm so glad I did that. 🙂

I had the same experience! A fluffier brush I normally use didn't apply the colour well, but I went back in with a denser brush and it applied beautifully.

@Mochapj

I like the idea of this collection a lot!  I have my eye on Alice, Jeanette, a Glow Tint (if I can find more swatches of all shades), and Blindfold.

I don't wear NARS Velvet matte lip colours as I find them drying.  But Blindfold is so beautiful, I might make an exception.

I'm curious about the glow tints but I KNOW I'm going to be somewhere in between Light and Medium, what a weird jump...
