Autumn Leaves is really lovely. It's a sophisticated burnt orange. I like it a lot. I generally wear whatever color my mood feels like, but it's a perfect fall color if you're into seasons.

I know what you mean. I was thinking about getting the Lip Gloss Coffret at first, but now probably not.

Yes exactly. The few reviews of them that I saw seemed very bad. Maybe the Nordstrom release will be more exciting? I was going to get the little Walk on the Wild side set but the nailpolish is only .25 ounces, it seems so sad... :shock:

How many ounces are NARS nail polishes normally? .25 ounces seems so small. I wanted to check out the non-set polishes that are also being released with this collection. I may only end up with my "normal" NARS order of blushes and nothing from the holiday collection. My "special" NARS purchase may be the Foreplay blush palette. I don't own Orgasm, but I like the idea of being able to customize the color.Yes exactly. The few reviews of them that I saw seemed very bad. Maybe the Nordstrom release will be more exciting?

I'm not writing this collection off until I see it in person. I don't always 100% agree with temptalia's rating. As of now I'm still very interested in most of the nail polishes and the gray self portrait palette.

The reg. nail polishes have .5 ounces, so half the size. I'm hoping I cam check everything out in person at Sephora to really decide for or against. That Foreplay palette seems lovely if you don't already have Orgasm, you should go for it!

Ya, I agree about not always going by her ratings. I feel like I couldn't use the self portrait palettes or the flowers palettes because I don't want to ruin the overspray, it's just too cool looking so for me it would def. just be to look at. The nail polish colors are pretty, I love Nars's nailpolish formula. :eyelove::eyelove::eyelove:

I just ordered the Debbie Harry eye and cheek palette against my better judgement. I hope it's awesome. If not, back it goes. I also ordered Back Room nail polish, the really glossy black shade.

Looking forward to your review. I'm kind of tempted by this one, I have to say. Although I have so many black sparkly shadows and purple shadows that I really shouldn't be. It's actually the look of the blushes that intrigues me. But Nars has such nice everyday blushes that I'm not sure I need those either...

Most of the time I can't even think about what I need because if I did, I wouldn't buy another ounce of makeup for the next 5 years.

Let me know that you think ladies. I swatched the shadows in Sephora yesterday, and the purple did not make me happy at all. the turquoise was better, but not by much. it was a little blah. the colors are just not that pigmented for what I expect for NARS.
I am inspired by the palette, love the colors together.

Don't tell me that!
hboy: Sometimes Nars shadows swatch terribly, but you can get them to work when you apply them. I hope that's the case. They all just look so pretty together.

Thanks for the link! The little video makes the palette seem so appealing now. It looks really good on the model.

Yesss it makes me want to get it. There's also another tutorial with the flowers 3 palette but I think I would only buy one of the flower palettes as a collectors item that I wouldn't actually use... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKt1jPcVYZo&feature=youtube_gdata_player

That might be the case. I don't think I am willing to work with the purple though, especially since I have some really good purples already. Let me know.
I think I am going to go after a MUFE turquoise since I have MUFE #92 and create a look with those.

I like this, but those colors are not going to show up on me like that, lol.

OK, I saw the kits and sets yesterday IRL and I am so disappointed.
The Flower e/s palettes are pretty and pigmented but the colors are easily dupable.
The Walk on the Wild Side kit is nice but the n/p has been done before and the l/g is Super Orgasm which alot of people already have. There was no tester for the Silver Factory Illuminator but it looks like a silver version of Luxor and I am not paying $39 just for that.
The most disappointing for me was the Debbie Harry Palette. Fallout city and the blush reminds me of a more subdued Super Orgasm. Lots of chunky glitter in the whole thing.
After stating that I liked the Lip Coffret, I actually tried the glosses on. The brushes are uber tiny (Katred I know that is a peeve of yours) and they are super, super sheer. The gorgeous silver one is basically clear with some glitter. Dazzleglasses are much better.
I didn't get to see any of the individual items.
Oh well money saved for the BLKR duo and Chanel Holiday.
