I'm disappointed that there wont be any temptalia swatches - I have to do most of my makeup shopping online, and rely on them.

Anyway, I it's fair enough to boycott if you please, Guy Bourdin was by most accounts a sick and sadistic person (there's one disturbing article that talks about him attaching meat to a models leg so he could get a picture of the dog attacking her), but personally, I could care less who the "tribute" was too, all I know is a want a great purple eyeshadow and a hot pink blush.

Temptalia has decided not to review this Nars collection (at least at this time)

Geez, it's just makeup. I don't see anything wrong with the images and it surely wouldn't stop me from buying. Just like MAC's Rodarte collection, I'm still disappointed they never released it.
Also, I don't like how T always tries hard to avoid any kind of controversy. There'd be nothing wrong with a discussion in the comment section, sure people have different opinions, but that's life.

It's blindingly bright for a blush! I'm afraid of it but at the same time I want to be able to wear it nicely, without looking ridiculous.

I'm disappointed that Rage is so pink...may just pick up Daphne instead - I wanted a true purple. Other than that, love cambodia and bad behaviour, coeur battant...and I'm leaning towards day dream as well.

Finally made my final list

Lipstick:
Goodbye Emmanuelle
Last Tango
Short Circuit
Full Frontal

Both new blushes

Eyeshadow:
Rage
Cambodia


And when the gifting collection comes out I'm getting that blush palette and the eyeliner set. As far as the controversy honestly I knew who Guy Bourdin was before the collection and I did not care. Most people forget that these artist are human and have major flaws, their personal lives are their own to have I don't care about it and most people don't either. Look at the RiRi collection at the beginning everyone wasn't going to get anything but when it came time to everyone was all over and upset if they didn't get what they wanted. This is about the makeup for me, NARS' inspiration has nothing to do with me.

Now that I've seen swatches, not sure what of if I will be getting anything from this collection. Still need to see more swatches.

Love how pigmented Day Dream is. It looks very light on MBB.
Yes, I'm thinking that it'll be great for me, since I'm fair, but like a pigmented blush. Of course, I'm also planning on getting Coeur Battant. And applying very delicately.
