... I got that same mini set for the mini malibu so I had a "travel-size" of my fav full-size multiple.  But yes Luxor and orgasm are easy to work with and very nice.

Here is  another code guys 17% off $65 or more plus free shipping  . . .. .

0419211CP

oh it's good till 5/4 . .. .  yeah !!!

Thanks for the link, Shontay!!!

I may need Dogon now. Hmmm..... Maybe I'll cut back on my Surf Baby list and see if I can get my hands on this. The nice thing about NARS collections is I don't feel extremely rushed to purchase. But Dogon looks beautiful!

Thanks so much...again!

And since one great favor deserves another....I've managed to dig up the code for the Laguna Bronzer Powder Mini.  The code is GOOD.  Seriously, that's it!  And it worked for an order I just placed for Iceland and Kilimanjaro shadow duos.

I need to enter NARS detox after this...
 

Shontay, I think you may have sold me on Mayflower. It seems like the sort of flexible colour I need. 

Karla has her swatches up for the whole collection. Having seen New Order, it doesn't look different enough from Mac's Play It Proper for my tastes, so I may pass. My priority is the Dogon Duo and perhaps the cap Ferrat trio. I have a sneaking suspicion that I have dupes for at least two of the three colours in my stash already.

OMG.. I wish I had these codes before I ordered my big haul earlier this week. But I may just need to get some more goodies.... tee hee!

Nars detox for me as well!

If that is Carthage then I'll give it a miss, that is way too far over the 'bright' line for me...the only other thing I wanted was Bolero...I hope that is a little more wearable (without being boring of course!)

I searched through Nars facebook page, and you're right. :)

I'm surprised, but there might be an explanation. It's a picture from the Jil Sanders Summer Spring 2011 runway show. And the guy who did the make up was Peter Philips, who's the global creative director at Chanel. He used Chanel products for the face and the eyes. He said he mixed a "shocking pink" lipstick (he didn't say which one) with white pigment to make it "more vibrant". If this lipstick is Nars Carthage, then the mixing with white would explain why it looks different from the swatches we've seen so far.

Thank you all for the pictures and links. It's very helpful for those who can't test products in stores and have to rely on swatches. :)

So everyone here hates Carthage? Damn, that's the only thing I liked and bought!

Shontay I already wanted Wonder but you confirmed it even more!  Karla's swatches are making me want that trio something ridiculous now.  That is just too gorgeous.  Now I need to decide get it online from NARS or wait until it hits Sephora for points?  Decisions, decisions...

ETA:  So I just placed the order with NARS.  In the end I'd rather save money and get high end freebies than accumulate points and still never get to VIB.

I am thinking of getting the e/s trio instead of mac's stacked pigments in surf baby. I also want dogon. New Order looks like it won't really show up much based on karla's swatches but I'll consider it. This will be my first nars purchase. I am so excited.

Honey&LemonGirl: You're welcome. :)

evilpopart: You definitely won't be disappointed with Cap Ferrat trio e/s. It's amazing.

I think Carthage is gorgeous!

Layla: I tried Wonder lip gloss and Toxic Tale. It was very pretty. It made TT shiny instead of a Satin. Good idea. Thank you .

Cool! Can't wait to try it myself!

I'm having the same thoughts about the trio.... I just don't know if it's worth it for $45. I think I'm gonna wait and see what else comes out this year. Splurge on the fall collection and some of the perm items I want. ;)

Must have the new Laguna limited time multiple .... 

your wallet is on it's way to being a whole lot lighter! Everything Nars is lovely in an enthusiastic 'I need that too' sort of way....

I bought Wonder, the new ls and Carthage as well as the matte pencil... no eye products for me from this collex.

I already have laguna and too many other bronzers including the new chanels (which will arrive probably monday) -- so passing on rest.

i got a tax refund yesterday so as soon as the cheque is cashed i shall be buying the shadow trio! hooray! :)

i just took a look at the price of the zippy bag threesome... i think i can do without it!!
 

I think I'm gonna get Wonder, Mayflower, Carthage, Bolero (so bascically all lip products lol) plus Dogon duo. I need my stuff like now! I have to wait till Thursday to go the Bay event though :(

Karen has some swatches up on her site:  http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/product-reviews/i-have-a-blue-crush-on-the-nars-summer-2011-collection/#more-78983

I really would like to get the Cap Ferrat trio but...I really only like the green and blue colors and the color nerd in me says I can easily dupe these.

My New Order blush is supposed to arrive tomorrow.  I hope so and then I can do swatches for you guys!
