NARS Summer 2011

Last night i spent 70$ and ordered Melusine duo, Mayflower lipstick and Belle de jour lipstick yaaay I cant wait to see more swatches of the blush

Yeah goodie, I cant wait to see more swatches of New Order.

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!

HG, I got the Chanel bronzers last week and I love them. I want warmth as opposed to brown on my very pale skin and these definitely deliver. Funny thing is now that I have these I want one of the new Dior bronzers as well and I usually skip bronzers. LOL

I ordered Wonder and Bolero as well as some other things too. They will be here Tuesday. May have to go back for the lipstick.

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 hope so! That's what I'm gonna be telling myself so I don't pull my hair out.

Yay! New Order arrived today (my mail carrier was late as hell). Let me describe it like this: if TinkerBell had a compact of pressed pixie dust, this would be it. Seriously. There isn't a lot of color to it but it packs a hell of a punch when it comes to sparkle. It will give you 'disco cheeks'. I love sparkle so I tried it on top of Mata Hari (a matte blue pink) and it looks really nice!

I will say that if you are averse to glitter--steer clear of this one. But if you want a highligher that has more sparkle than shimmer (like Albatross or Luster) this is a nice one to have in your stash. On lighter skin tones you may see more pink than glitter. On dark skin tones you will see LOTS of glitter. Whether I used a skunk brush or regular blush brush, I looked like TinkerBell sneezed on me.

EngineerBarbie, do you have the Hungry Heart Duo as well? If so how does it compare to New Order? My New Order should be here on Monday, yay!

I don't have it but I've swatched it in the store. New Order has the same level of 'glitter' as those two do. If this one hadn't have come out I would have bought the Hungry Heart duo.
