Since we know Nars is soooo WOC friendly, what are your faves from the line? We all love the blushes of course, but feel to re-list them anyway!

My faves...
-Caiberia Lip Laquer (Rich Brown)
-Giza lipgloss (very neutral)
-Albatross Blush as sheer Highlighter
-All "Night" series eyeshadows
-Pink Panther Creme shadow duo
-Taj Mahal, Exhibit A, Crazed and Taos Blushes

I went to Sephora yesterday and wrote down a bunch of gorgeous colors that I plan to buy at Neiman's tomorrow. Have you all seen these??

Dolce Vita lipstick
Blonde Venus Lipstick
Tuttu Frutti Lipstick
Luster Blush (looks like a great highlight)
Cheynne and Balthazar eye shadow duo's are SO hot!!!! Can't wait to get them!!

Re: Favorite NARS products?!?!

Ohh, NARS is the *only* other h/e line I would spend money on (aside from the ONE Chanel Glossimer I own - Unity).
I still prefer the pigmentation and quality of MAC any day over NARS but some of my favs are:
Surabaya e/s duo
Crazed, Torrid and my every day HG, Deep Throat blushes. I think I want to try a really pinky pink one, but not Mata Hari which I found to go on ashy on me.
I also liked their loose powder.
I'm looking forward to getting the new Dolce Vita set with the Lovejoy/Albatross duo. I also heard about a Torrid/Albatross duo but it's a Neiman Marcus exclusive.

I think I'm going to have to get the Dolce Vita set for my friend, she's NC40. I tried the Albatross blush on her and it made her glow.

That is, of course, after I get one for myself. BAM!

Whooha, somebody loves NARS! LOL. I have a question though. I've had a hard time finding a match with their foundations. Do you think there is one for an NC45?

Re: Favorite NARS products?!?!

I love Lovejoy blush. I wear it daily
As for lipsticks, Red Lizard, Pigalle, and Dolce Vita hands down are my most frequently worn lipsticks. I own some others by Nars but I keep going back to those.

Nars has amazing pigment. I look forward to playing even more with the collection.

I only have one NARS product, Multiple in Malibu, and I love it. It gives my cheeks (I'm NC42-43) the perfect natural flushed appearance.
