Does anybody have Bilbao lipstick?
I'm confused what color it is because someone said it's a peachy-nude color, but some people said it's a brownish-nude color.

The Tinted Moisturizers are available on Nordstrom website!

Just like the Sheer Glow and Sheer Matte foundations, colors are named after places in the world.
I think the lightest shade Finland is match for me, but I can't still wait for seeing some swatches!

Lol, the pics make all these except for Alaska and Finland SO dark! Based on pics looks like Alaska may be my match, which makes no sense coz u'd think Alaska would be the fairest one, hahaha....I really hope there are some in between shades for light medium folks like me.The Tinted Moisturizers are available on Nordstrom website!

I'm really eager to see these finally
Are they available at Nordstrom counters too though? I'll be down in the US this weekend and it'd be nice to check them out in person then. I know Canada is always so friggin behind getting new Nars stuff.

I read the same thing as Aquamarine1543: Finland is the lightest color, then Alaska.
I don't think pictures are very reliable when it comes to complexion products. I remember the promo picture for the NARS concealers, and how Chantilly (the lightest shade) didn't look suitable for fair skin (think Siberia foundation). And then when karlasugar swatched the range of concealers, it became clear that the promo picture was not to be trusted. Chantilly is *very* light.
Just look at that! http://karlasugar.net/2011/09/nars-concealer/
There will be in between shades, I'm pretty confident about that. This is NARS, and their complexion products always seem to include as many skintones as possible.
The Tinted Moisturizers will launch exclusively to Nordstrom on February 1st, then on narscosmetics.com and in the NYC store on Bleecker street on February 15th. Then nationally and internationally in March.

Even those look darker than something I could wear, but I'm holding out hope that the online swatches are just misleading. Nars is usually good at matching foundations for pale ladies, but if the colours there are representative, I won't be able to wear any of these, even with the very slight tan I develop in the summer.

Online is always misleading! I hate that.. This is definitely something I'm going to have to go in store to try out..
yeah i am hoping that there is a really pale one because i wanted to try this tinted moisturiser!

I've been waiting for the tinted moisturizers for awhile,a nd hope they don't disappoint or break me out.
I have a random question, is there a place like a CCO, where Nars collex go to die? I am looking back at some things I missed b/c I wasn't into certain colors, and I MUST have it. LOL

Finally got to see the Spring collection in person today... It was hard for me to resist buying everything, but there are so many things I want right now that I have to pick and choose what I can get right away. I'm definitely getting Lhasa and Paramaribo. Of the lip products, Mexican Rose was the most appealing. Well, I loved Valparaiso, but I have sooooooooooo many berry shades that I think I can wait a bit. Bilbao is nice, but it's too brown on me. Funniest thing was that after I tried it, I thought I'd try on Pago Pago as well, although I hadn't thought much of it the first time I tried it on. This was the first time I'd seen Pago Pago in natural light and I LOVED it. It's like the ultimate "my lips but better" shade for me. So now I have to get that too...

I ordered Mexican Rose sight unseen so I am glad to hear you like it as we have similar coloring and taste. I am debating on Lhasa. How close would you say it is to Chanel Fauvre?
Also, did you get to see the TM?

There are comparative swatches between NARS Lhasa and Chanel Fauve (and other colors as well) here:

Katred, because we are both Canucks, I have to ask which store has it in person? I have The Bay, Sephora, and Murale here. I don't know if any of them have it yet.

Don't hate me, but I saw it at Holt Renfrew... That said, they don't usually have things any earlier than anyone else, so I'm guessing it should be available everywhere this week. I'm personally holding out for Murale, because I have buckets of Optimum points to spend!

OOOO Thanks! I actually forgot that I do have a Holt Renfrew here! It's tucked away, and parking is a pain, which is why I always forget that it's there!

Oh noo! I was hoping the tinted moisturizer would come out later! so I won't be that tempted to go test it and end up buying it!
It seems like I'll be making my way down to Holt soon...

My Spring 2012 choices finally got here.
Gaiety is bright... like BRIGHT. I thought it might look too much like Desire. Ummmm... NO. It's a bright matte candy pink. I'm stressing a little.
Valparaiso is gorgeous.. I can't wait to try it! I had no idea it would be such a DEEP color.
I'm glad I passed on Lhasa... I saw swatches and realized that I have too many shadows that color that I simply don't use.

since I've been too lazy to get my ass down to Holts I'll wait one more week and see if my Nars counter will get this collection. Right now I'm only wanting Mexican Rose.....Did you happen to ask them when they'll get the tinted moisturizer?
