NARS Limited-Edition Fall Makeup Palettes!

Monday, August 9th, 2010

My NARS palette in Wild at Heart is the sunshine of my life, so I am mega-excited to check out these latest introductions (available in zippered nylon cases for easy portability!):

Beautiful Life Lip and Cheek Palette, $55:

Beautiful Life Lip and Cheek palette features 4 lip glosses, plus NARS the Multiple in Copacabana (a glistening pearl) and Orgasm Multiple (peachy pink with shimmer),

and

Only You Eye and Cheek Palette, $65:


Only You Eye and Cheek palette features 4 to-die-for eyeshadows in rose, goldish-brown, aubergine and matte black, plus an iridescent gold ivory blush and the famous Orgasm blush.

NARS consistently gets it right when it comes to makeup palettes.  Unlike other companies and offerings which include superfluous colors, the lip glosses and (most importantly for me) eye shadows in NARS’s palettes are always supremely flattering and covetable. The colors wear down equally, which means I’m using all of them!

NARS Limited-Edition palettes in Only You and Beautiful Life are available now at narscosmetics.com.

NARS Fall 2010 Makeup Collection

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

Intern Kayte writes:

Give us bright and unforgettable!

NARS brings the heat with its Fall 2010 collection, mixing a variety of bold colors with cool shimmering shades.

NARS Founder and Creative Director Francois Nars was inspired by women icons that are larger than life, unforgettable and possess a charming, timeless look.

Accordingly, the collection features Francois Nars’ inimitable muse Daphne Guinness as the icon for the campaign.

He hopes the dazzling new line will “capture the old-Hollywood meets futuristic look.”

Daphne, Mangrove, and Coconut Grove are just a few eye shadows that will appear from the new line in smoldering shades of violet, yellow, and taupe.

My anticipated favorite product of the new line for fall is Strawberry Fields Lip Gloss, described as a juicy, fresh-picked strawberry taste that will linger on lips with a sexy shine of pink. I can’t decide if I will eat it for a snack or wear it to show off!

Check out more from the gorgeous new fall collection (available now at Sephora!) here.

NARS Press Event

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Hi there! I’m Jordan Reid of RamshackleGlam.com, and I’ll be doing a little Jolie blogging about NYC-area beauty events over the next few months.

I like to think of my approach to beauty as “common sense with a healthy dose of experimentation” – I love playing around with new looks, and am willing to try just about anything from neon-pink lipstick to turquoise liner…but when it comes to my makeup, comfort and ease are of the utmost importance. Heavy foundation? No, thank you. Flaky mascara? See ya. And don’t even get me started on lip glosses that insist on lassoing your hair at the slightest gust of wind.

My top five Makeup Must-Haves? A vat of black liquid eyeliner, pounds of mascara, a fantastic concealer, and NARS Laguna bronzer and Angelika blush. I literally refuse to step foot out the door without those last two items adorning my face, so you can imagine how psyched I was to have the opportunity to cover the NARS Fall Preview event for Nadine.

I can’t tell you about their fall line until it launches in mid-July (check back then!), but I can tell you that I had the opportunity to check out their new, limited-edition lip gloss collection…and it is perfection in a tube (well, five tubes). Each gloss is based on one of the line’s most popular blushes, and I just about levitated with joy when I saw that yes, my much-adored Angelika has been transformed into the perfect bright (but not too bright) pink lip gloss with just a hint of shimmer. I will be wearing this gloss all day, every day this season – mark my words.

Other standouts from NARS’ new lip gloss collection? Super Orgasm (love that blush shade as well), a light pink that’s just made for the beach, and Oasis, a sheer plum that can be layered on when night falls for a summery pop of color.

How to: Freshen up your makeup before going out!

Friday, February 27th, 2009

Before heading to a party in Santa Monica last night, I made a quick video as I was freshening up my makeup.  (Blotting sheets are key!  Right now, I’m using Allison Raffaele’s powder-free Blotting Tissues, which I highly recommend and have been very impressed with, as they sop oil without leaving the residue that other sheets can.)

Daily Beauty Byte: NARS The Multiple

Guest Review: Nars The Multiple

Rated a 7.5 by TotalBeauty.com Editor Kristen Oldham-Giordani

Nars The Multiple is a cream-to-powder formula that can be used anywhere (though it leaves lips feeling a little too powdery). The jumbo stick glides on smoothly and feels moist on skin, making it ideal for dry skin year-round or combination skin in the winter. …More
