NARS Andy Warhol collection

[Aquamarine1543]

definitely getting that black polish. I'm not sure about the self portraits or flowers palettes. I wouldn't want to ruin the overlay, so what is the point in buying if I am not going to use it, right?

Tell me about it!
A self portrait palette is the only item I want to get, but now I'm not sure since it's just overspraying.
If it's just overspraying and one swipe takes away the face, I don't think it's worth of buying (it's $55!!!) and I think it's better to buy other nice eyeshadows which are cheaper.

I'm not paying that price for an overspray.
but I am getting the highlighter. I collect NARS blushes so... there you go.

Temptalia just posted the review for Self portrait 1 and I'm really disappointed since one swipe really takes away the face.

I am too. I really wanted one but now I know if I get one I'll only want to collect it and not use it, and for $55 that's a lot.

The only thing I really want as of now is the nail set and maybe the Debbie Harry palette. Perhaps the Edie set too.

I agree. Without the face, the palette looks really horrible.
If I want to use it and don't want to take the face away, maybe I should use a tiny little brush and be careful not to put the brush on the overspray, but I think it'll get me upset.:S

I wish there were more lipsticks and blush in this collection, or the quality in the eyeshadow palettes was better. I'm not a fan of Nars' eyeshadow formulation in general, though - too much fallout!

I googled some of the names of the products in the collection today and got a serious history lesson. Of all things Andy Warhol. He was so influential and put a lot of people out there in the spotlight. I knew his work was important, but it was more than just paintings and screenprints.

I bought the cans so I could display them in my kitchen and I love it. I thought about emptying the cans to use them to hold pens or eyeliners, etc.

I've been reading and learning a lot about Warhol for the past few months. He is completely fascinating and there is so much to learn about him that isn't as well known as his paintings. I think even the stories behind a lot of his work isn't widespread either. That being said, I'm totally in the height of my obsession right now and want to buy these palettes just to stare at them. That's not too practical for my wallet though.

I'm getting Satellite of Love Highlighting Blush and Candy Says Larger Than Life Lipgloss. The rest are passable.

Satellite of Love looks promising. I think it could work on my skin tone. I was afraid it would be too light and wouldn't even show up as a highlighter.

Initially I wanted Self Portrait 2, but there's no way I'm paying that much for a bad quality palette. I could overlook the overspray if the eyeshadows were amazing, but that's not the case. I think I'll go for Satellite of Love and possibly the Edie set (only because I want the blush duo!). Nothing else.

Since this is a special collection, will we be able to swatch items in stores?

Thanks! I want to see how Satellite of Love looks on me before purchasing.

I wasn't expecting much from this collection and it turns out to be true. Looks pretty bad. I might've considered the highlighter if I didn't have 2 HG highlighters already. Really wish there had been lipsticks and blushes in this collection because Nars nails it 99% of the time.

I have to ask. What are those two HG highlighters?

 

[shontay07108]

Yikes! I actually have three now that I think of it: MUFE Uplight #22, MUFE Compact Shine On #5 and TheBalm's Mary-Lou Manizer (I have to say TheBalm is the best of the three, though). So, between those three, I am no longer searching for highlighters.

Thanks. I have to look into these.

You're welcome.

Nothing really wowed me in this collection either. I wish there were more blushes cos I love them!
Design looks pretty though

This collection looks like its strictly for collecting. Nothing seems usable.
