Autumn Leaves is really lovely. It's a sophisticated burnt orange. I like it a lot. I generally wear whatever color my mood feels like, but it's a perfect fall color if you're into seasons.

I was so excited about this collection in the beginning, but now that I can actually buy it I feel so underwhelmed. Thinking of the Debbie Harry palette but I think I'll wait for swatches...


I know what you mean. I was thinking about getting the Lip Gloss Coffret at first, but now probably not.

Yes exactly. The few reviews of them that I saw seemed very bad. Maybe the Nordstrom release will be more exciting? I was going to get the little Walk on the Wild side set but the nailpolish is only .25 ounces, it seems so sad... icon_eek.gif

How many ounces are NARS nail polishes normally? .25 ounces seems so small. I wanted to check out the non-set polishes that are also being released with this collection. I may only end up with my "normal" NARS order of blushes and nothing from the holiday collection. My "special" NARS purchase may be the Foreplay blush palette. I don't own Orgasm, but I like the idea of being able to customize the color.

I'm not writing this collection off until I see it in person. I don't always 100% agree with temptalia's rating. As of now I'm still very interested in most of the nail polishes and the gray self portrait palette.

The reg. nail polishes have .5 ounces, so half the size. I'm hoping I cam check everything out in person at Sephora to really decide for or against.
That Foreplay palette seems lovely if you don't already have Orgasm, you should go for it!

Ya, I agree about not always going by her ratings. I feel like I couldn't use the self portrait palettes or the flowers palettes because I don't want to ruin the overspray, it's just too cool looking so for me it would def. just be to look at.
The nail polish colors are pretty, I love Nars's nailpolish formula. eyelove.gifeyelove.gifeyelove.gif

I like the Lip Coffret. The silver gloss is amazing. The rest are lovely colors as well.

I just ordered the Debbie Harry eye and cheek palette against my better judgement. I hope it's awesome. If not, back it goes. I also ordered Back Room nail polish, the really glossy black shade.

Looking forward to your review. I'm kind of tempted by this one, I have to say. Although I have so many black sparkly shadows and purple shadows that I really shouldn't be. It's actually the look of the blushes that intrigues me. But Nars has such nice everyday blushes that I'm not sure I need those either...

Most of the time I can't even think about what I need because if I did, I wouldn't buy another ounce of makeup for the next 5 years.

Let me know that you think ladies.  I swatched the shadows in Sephora yesterday, and the purple did not make me happy at all.   the turquoise was better, but not by much.  it was a little blah.    the colors are just not that pigmented for what I expect for NARS.  

I am inspired by the palette, love the colors together.

Don't tell me that! ohboy.gif

Sometimes Nars shadows swatch terribly, but you can get them to work when you apply them. I hope that's the case. They all just look so pretty together.

Thanks for the link! The little video makes the palette seem so appealing now. It looks really good on the model.

Yesss it makes me want to get it. There's also another tutorial with the flowers 3 palette but I think I would only buy one of the flower palettes as a collectors item that I wouldn't actually use...

That might be the case.  I don't think I am willing to work with the purple though, especially since I have some really good purples already.  Let me know.  

I think I am going to go after a MUFE turquoise since I have MUFE #92  and create a look with those.

 I like this, but those colors are not going to show up on me like that, lol.

OK, I saw the kits and sets yesterday IRL and I am so disappointed.

 

The Flower e/s palettes are pretty and pigmented but the colors are easily dupable. 

 

The Walk on the Wild Side kit is nice but the n/p has been done before and the l/g is Super Orgasm which alot of people already have. There was no tester for the Silver Factory Illuminator but it looks like a silver version of Luxor and I am not paying $39 just for that.

 

The most disappointing for me was the Debbie Harry Palette. Fallout city and the blush reminds me of a more subdued Super Orgasm. Lots of chunky glitter in the whole thing.

 

After stating that I liked the Lip Coffret, I actually tried the glosses on. The brushes are uber tiny (Katred I know that is a peeve of yours) and they are super, super sheer. The gorgeous silver one is basically clear with some glitter. Dazzleglasses are much better.

 

I didn't get to see any of the individual items. 

 

Oh well money saved for the BLKR duo and Chanel Holiday.

Thanks for posting,frankly speaking I was expecting much more from this Andy Warhol collection,true bold colours in fact. Maybe I'll take 1 or 2 nail polishes I don't know yet.

Well as you said, let's save up for the other collections.

The packaging and the palette are really pretty but the shades themselves, well I'll have to see it in person really. I think I will focus on the nail polishes as I said, but one never knows, this palette looks nice ( not really beautiful though ).

Thanks for posting MarieMary !

MUFE #72 is a great turquoise. Love it!

The more I see of this palette, the more nervous I get. I jumped the gun. I just love the way everything is packaged together. I'm going to keep an open mind, though. I'll try everything on when I get it before I make a judgement.

I like the way it looks too! I'm sure you can make it work. I need to get #72. There was a also a sugarpill palette with these colors in it.

I love the polishes.

I was thinking about that sugarpill palette but I have the mufe colors that are dupes for that palette. I just need to get the four shadow pan palettes by mufe to pop them into. I'm also thinking about that relaly big, magnetized palette that they sell. I like having my shadows divided and not in one big palette, but it's so convenient. Maybe I'll take a trip to the mufe store in a few weeks and get them.

I'm really excited to try that black Nars polish. I usually stay away from black, but the glossiness of it is calling me.

My friend who works in Nordstrom beauty said they are only getting 6 of each item in and to pre-order ASAP if there was anything I really wanted. I'm not sure how it will be at other stores, but wanted to let you ladies know!

I got my palette today and I couldn't wait to start playing with it. I snapped pictures along the way:

This is the box (you know I'm keeping this, right? How awesome is this? The packaging for Black Room nail polish is next to it)


The cover slips off to reveal the palette


The product, with flash


without flash


I didn't bother to photograph my swatches because frankly, they're terrible. I wasn't discouraged, though because I own several shadows that swatch like hell but perform great. I went to work using these shades over the Nars primer and I have to say that I love these shadows! I used a giant shader brush by a brand called japonesque to pat the turquoise shadow onto one eye. I then put the purple shade on the other eye. I used the black on both eyes in the outer v, in the crease and the bottom lash line. I used the white shadow as a brow and inner eye highlight. I didn't do an ace job because I just wanted to see how well these things worked, so I didn't take pictures. Just trust me when I say these shadows are not duds. Now, they are not neon, vibrant colors, but they don't even look that way in the pan so I didn't expect that. They aren't sheer either and you can build them up by patting. The best shade of the 4 is the black and that really impressed me. Second best I'd say is the purple. The turquoise is really good, but it's softer in pigmentation than the purple, so it's third best for me. I've never had much use for white shadows, but this one does a really good job as a highlight.

As for the glitter we all feared: It's not much of an issue. It doesn't show up much, if at all on the lid. There's a random spec of glitter and there was a bit of fallout, but not a glitter bomb. I'm going to do a full face look with this palette either tomorrow or Thursday so I can try the 2 blushes. I hope they're as good as the shadows. I feel so good about this palette that it makes me want to try that New Wave palette. Am I pushing my luck there? lol.gif

Good for you! The glitter was never an issue for me, the pigmentation was and I am glad you got the colors to work. they were horrible for me. The packaging IS amazing! When I saw it, I thought it was done right. Andy would be proud!

Now the New Wave palette. Stellar without a second thought. Grab it!

The colors didn't work on you? ssad.gif Sorry to hear that.

See, now you're tempting me! getyou.gif I have to take a trip to the mall tomorrow and I know Saks has the New Wave palette. I had just convinced myself I didn't need it. It has one shade in there that I already own from the rated r duo, but that's OK. Well, guess I'll be buying that tomorrow!
