I was feeling nosy so I googled Nars Fall 2009 collection and came across this lovely website saying that Nars is to have a new Matte foundation formula coming this fall...

and with it a lovely eyeshadow duo named "Silk Road" (I'm already lovin'

the name, god knows how pretty the colors are gonna be..)

Here's the link and there are some pics at the bottom of the article. Now I'm sure I'm soooo not the first person to find out about this so what do you ladies know about the new collection, and what do you think?

The dark grey/blue duo looks a little like underworld. That one is I assume from reading that "Brumes" The Goldy duo is nice too and im for SURE getting that foundation (please have a pump like firming does)

I think it's just tester packaging.. Changing the signature packaging wouldn't make sense, or at least that's what I'm thinking...

Does anyone know if their lipsticks still smell/taste funky? I read that they changed the l/s formula a few months ago?


I'd like to know the answer to this too. I find a lot of lipgloss/lipstick taste smells to be strongly aversive, I don't know why. I hate the taste of lancome juicy tubes (can't get it off my lips fast enough), yet I'm good with their lipsticks. Estee lauder lipsticks have a sickly smell to them which I find really aversive. Rimmel has a nasty taste to both its glosses and lipstick. Clinique glosses I really like but I have to throw them out after about 3 months because they develop a nasty taste.

So far the one NARS gloss I have tastes fine, but since I don't try on lip products in the store, I'd hate to buy a lipstick at that price and find out I hate them.

Stopped by Nordstrom and picked up some items. Indian Summer has a matte mustard yellow and a lighter shimmery yellow color. The lipstick was too dark so I passed.

Also, from The Beauty Look Book.



I just swatched Mekong and the darker side of Cordura to compare... Mekong is much darker. It's more of a brown-black, if that makes sense. It is sooo pigmented too.

Also, today I wore Silk Road. It's gorgeous... the darker side reminds me of a pinky version of Night Rider (similar texture/consistency). Lots of sparkle, so be careful with fallout (but they tap right off).

I was told in August, but didn't get an exact date... also new foundation, new mascara, new liquid eye liner (this is what the manager at the nars counter at nordstrom told me). Lots to look forward to.
