Which one are you talking about?

I was so sure that for once I'd gotten in ahead of you, but you beat me every time!

Floralies is named after a garden in Montreal. It looks like it would be a very nice shade, but it's the sort of colour that makes me look like a particularly unhealthy dead person.

Oh well... plenty of other shades to choose from...

It's never a bad thing to see those swatches again. Better see it twice than never! :)
Floralies is not the same as Jardin Botanique, right?

Did someone say... SWATCHES?

Also contains great descriptions of where the names actually come from. It figures that the one named for the city I call home is a shade that I can't possibly wear... The shades look beautiful, though!
I was looking at the Montreal shade, just coz it's my fave Canadian city!

I'm glad Golshan is a shade I would totally wear coz I have to get that one, the Persian shade :D These are all so beautiful though. My heart wants me to get all the reds but I need to be more reasonable so I'm thinking:

- Golshan
- Yu
- Palais Royal
- Rikugien

Our hearts are apparently working from the same script. Golshan is certainly one of my favourites from the swatches I've seen. I think it would look stunning with your colouring!

I don't think that these have been posted yet- swatches of Golshan, Luxembourg and Rikugien from The Non-Blonde:

I love Karen's lip swatches, she doesn't go full-on with the color. It's insane how everything looks good on her.

Interesting that despite their apparent creaminess, no one seems to be mentioning feathering or bleeding as a problem- that was the only thing I was worried about and it doesn't seem to be an issue.

FYI, if you're in Canada and haven't received an email to this effect already, apparently Holt Renfrew has this exclusively, at least for the time being. I expect they'll be everywhere soon enough.

I do love Karen's swatches... and her commentary. Hilarious. Just saw that my Nordstroms has them so I'm gonna be hitting that up after work today. Wooh!!

Now that hot pink shades are in high demand (Yoon Eun-Hye, a Korean actress wore a hot pink shade in the show "I miss you", and it sent NARS Schiap lipstick sales up 500%, eventually leading it to it being sold out), I guess Yu is going to sell very very very well.

I don't speak Korean, but that's where I got the info:

But even if it's not exactly correct, Asian message boards are all filled with Schiap swatches and all the possible dupes there are.

That's what I heard and I think it's really ridiculous. Some people bought tons of Schiap from other countries and are trying to sell it at least around $50 each!
I already guessed Yu will def. be sold out very quickly here (The launch date is in April here), so I asked my american friend to send me four lip pencils including Yu. :)
I should go back to NYC asap to get NARS products anytime I want!

You know, Schiap lipstick is unavailable on all NARS websites, and on FR and US Sephora websites as well. I think they took all the stock and sent it to Asia to deal with the demand. :p You can see on NARS FB page that some people believe Schiap has been discontinued, and I'm pretty sure some would buy it for $50 on eBay because they don't know it will come back, eventually. :/
Your American friend is very nice. Smart move. ;)

Thanks for the Temptalia swatches.

Very interesting! Love the new avatar, by the way- gorgeous lip! I find that hot pinks are workable on virtually any complexion, so I'm not surprised that they are popular as a general rule. Yu strikes me as the sort of shade that will develop the same kind of cult following as Schiap and Candy Yum Yum.
