No problem. ;)
Previous NARS Summer collections were released in May. But the spring 2012 collection was released a little earlier than in previous years, so maybe it'll be released in april? This is just a guess, because there is no official release date yet.

WhatWouldJoanDo: You're welcome! ;)

The velvet gloss lip pencil is called Buenos Aires.
The blush is called Liberté.
The velvet matte lip pencil is called Never Say Never.
The lipstick is called Vendanges.

The plastic over the duo and blush make the colors lighter. I think the promotional picture is more reliable than the pictures below.


Marie Galante Duo Eyeshadow



Liberté Blush


Buenos Aires Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil



Never Say Never Velvet Matte Lip Pencil


Vendanges Lipstick


Calabria Soft Touch Shadow Pencil



I updated the first post with all the information available so you won't have to browse again if you're looking for a name or a release date. ;)

I think the duo and matte l/p are awesome!

By the way, the blush looks similar to Sex Appeal based on the pic.
and gloss pencil is maybe peachy-beige or sth?

Happy to share! :)
I agree, I like the duo and the matte lip pencil! Brownish colors look awful on my lips, so I'm glad that Vendanges looks less brown and more wine-colored than I had imagined. By the way, vendanges in french means grape harvest. :)
I think the blush is darker in reality than in the picture, because the light reflection on the plastic sheet mutes/lightens the colors. Marie Galante looks greyish when it's apparently much more vibrant in the promo picture.

The lipstick reminds me of Damage lipstick which is also grape/wine color!
If the blush is darker than the pic, it reminds me of Luster without shimmer.
By the way, the matte l/p is pretty different I expected. I thought it's similar to Funny face.;)

Hi Ladies,

I was lucky enough to snag few items from Summer collection on Ebay.Eyeshadow Duo has hollographic effect its purple and rak blue in color. Purple goes on very sheer, while dark blue is much ore pigmented and great for crease and lining. I also got blush and its matte red brick color. Nothing like Madly or Miss Liberty or anything else that Nars currently has in blushes. I think its going to be great hit, because it buildable and give face nice flushed, illuminating look. Would be great with bronzer or on tanned skin. I hope I can make decent pictures and post it here.

Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to see some swatches! :)

By the way, as you said the blush is matte red brick color, is the blush pretty much brownish and dark for pale women?
Is it similar to Dolce Vita blush which is also red brick color?

First and last picture shows truer colors of duo. I tried to capture holographic effect in sunlight, I dont know if I had any success... I am not very good at taking pictures I guess

@ Natyk: Thank you for the swatches of Liberté and the comparison with other colors; it's very helpful. Your pictures of Marie Galante are great, and they really show the subtleties of the colors. :)
