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!

I am very interested in the Glow Tints as well.  It is the type of product I would get plenty of use out of.   I am not sure if I could use a Medium, or I might need the Medium-dark (or perhaps in between).

I wonder why PR packages did not include the Medium-Dark tint.  I have found plenty of swatches of the 3 glow tints, but not the darkest one.

@greenchilli This is actually from the Nars site itself and you may have seen it, but given the Glow Tints page won't load for me via the site right now, may be worth a shot. (Pure white background either very helpful or not helpful at all.)

@kathmb

I saw that picture as well - some blog had captured it.  Thanks for sharing. 🙂

The #3 looks too light, and #4 looks a bit dark for me.  I am sure since these are tinted creams that they would accommodate a wide shade range.  I just not sure if my shade will be covered by #3 or #4.

If there were reviews by folks with deeper tones, I could have an idea...

[tamikat]

Honestly, I'm pretty convinced at this point that the Medium-Dark was a last minute addition when they realized that it wasn't on-brand for Nars to have no darker colors. No bloggers seem to have it and all the promo shots show three bottles of the Hydrating Glow Tint, not four.

[Mochapj]

@tamikat I've been wondering if it's because the product is so sheer that it barely shows up at all on the lighter bloggers I've seen.  If it barely shows on them, what hope is there it would show up on a darker complexion.

In the past I haven't seen NARS working with many darker skinned bloggers.  I wonder why that is...?

[Mochapj]

So thanks to @veronika23 tip off I was able to do some digging on Temptalia's site to find out what the Gainsbourg collab is made up of.

Looks like there are a few new product categories, and an old one returning;

- the gloss looking items are called 'lip tints'

- there is a 'hydrating glow tint' (not shown in her swatches, yet)

- the multiple tints from years ago have made a return, it seems

- the eyeshadow duos are labeled as 'velvet eyeshadow' 

This collection has a lot of new formulations, it seems 😮

[Vineetha]

@Mochapj Karen from makeupandbeautyblog has the whole details , swatches and review of the collection up! The brush set is apparently priced at 175 and the new skin tints are available in 4 shades!

[Mochapj]

Ouch! That's a pricy brush set 😮

Thanks Vineetha!

[kathmb]

@Mochapj But look at those marble handles! 😭

[jominguez]

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but BT won't let me get past page 2 of this thread 😩

For those who have gotten the new NARSissist fully loaded eyeshadow palette--how are you liking it? I'm lusting after it, but the first narsissist palette a few years back was really disappointing 😞

[Anonymous]

I just purchased this so I will let you know how I like it! the palette looks gorgeous so hopefully pigmentation is good. 

[jominguez]

Yes! Let me know. I just need one more good review before I pull the trigger 🙂

From Temptalia - NARS Charlotte Gainsbourg collection

[malday]

I have my eye on Blindfold and Old Church Street

[jemly]

this is just such a chic collection. kind of a missed opportunity to not call it (or something in it) 'la collectionneuse' !!!

I collect many things
And keep them all close to me
To the ceiling from the floor
I'm tripping on them constantly

Pixelated faces play
On the blown out TV screen
Footage from a camera,
These days I'm fast-forwarding

I see a pattern start to form
Over time it's surfacing
Like a face I recognize
It never says anything

I add up all these moments
In a long narrow ledger
Decimals of pain
Integers of pleasure

The sum of all these parts
I don't know how to measure
They keep on adding up
They just keep on adding up

The collector, la collectioneuse
The collector, la collectioneuse
The collector, la collectioneuse
The collector, la collectioneuse

J'ai cueilli ce brin de bruyere
L'automne est morte souviens-t'en
Nous ne nous verrons plus sur terre
Odeur du temps brin de bruyere
Et souviens-toi que je t'attends

J'ai eu le courage de regarder en arriere
Les cadavres de mes jours

Que lentement passent les heures
Comme passe un enterrement
Tu pleureras l'heure ou tu pleures
Qui passera trop vitement
Comme passe toutes les heures.

Et toi mon coeur pourquoi bats-tu?
Comme un guetteur melancolique
J'observe la nuit et la mort

Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
Les jours s'en vont je demeure

@jemly And now I have AF607105 stuck in my head. 🙂 (The opening chords of 5:55 are so relaxing.)

[malday]

This is why I lurve you

[Mochapj]

Interesting that the multiples are all multiple 'tints' and the lip gloss looking products are something new called 'lip tints'

I didn't think that formula did particularly well the last time they released it so I hope they've improved it.

[jemly]

@Mochapj my first thought was i wonder how they'll work with the most mysterious products of the collection: the glow tints ? WHAT ARE THEY I NEED TO KNOWWWWWWWWW

[Anewxa]

I think I missed the conversation on the pop goes the easel spring collection which I think is Nordies exclusive for U.S but did it come to Canada at all and is it also available at our Nordies or coming to another retailer? I wanted to pick up a couple of the sheer multiples. 

[fatimamummy]

@Anewxa This whole collection is available at Nordstrom eaton centre ( So it must be up at Yorkdale as well) . I picked Cote Basque other day. Let me know if you need contact information of a SA.
