I think I know which picture you're talking about. I saw it too and it doesn't look like Carthage. I think it's been mislabeled. If you want to see a picture of a model wearing Carthage on her lips, you should check the Elle magazine album on the Nars facebook page.

hmmm not likey too dull for my taste. Do you know which lippie that might be? (the mislabeled picture's lipstick)?

My Nars SA at the Bay called to say they'll start selling this collection next Thursday. I'm absolutely thrilled! Usually it takes us Canadians much longer to get the new Nars collections.

I have some Bay points saved up so I will splurge a bit

Thanks! I hope they are. It always takes me eight days to get stuff from MAC.

I did get lip stuff (Bolero and Wonder), but not Carthage. And I can try and post lip swatches if I get the stuff this week, but if it doesn't get here until next week, I won't be able to until the following week. I'll have lots of family in town for this funeral.

I'm sorry about the funeral

Any ladies from the UK know when this is launching in stores? I went yesterday and they didn't have it on display.

I'm sorry about the funeral

Thank you. That means a lot to me.

(You too, Shontay! <3)

Actually, I was under the impression that Carthage WAS almost neon (or at least pretty darn bright). I remember the YouTube video of MathildeL87 applying it, and it looked quite bright on her.

was this carthage lipstick? any good links to swatches? i love the colour!

I went to swatch Nico and I liked it, but it has a lot of beige, and I am quite chocolatey, so I will have to tread lightly with it. I am still debating whether or not to get Hungry Heart. I looks so pretty, but I wonder how much use I will get out of it. But my Casino bronzer needs a product of a similar size to keep it company in my NARS makeup drawer (isn't that the saddest/sickest logic?). New Order and Montenegro cream blush are in the basket as well (I am already dreaming of pairing it with Oasis and Sin) and now my wish list has grown to include Deep Throat and Cactus Flower (which will make a pretty combo I think) and possible Glida, although it's the first cousin of Amour so I really don't need it... someone please talk me out of it...


ETA: Has the bronzer coupon code mystery been solved? How do we get a free mini-bronzer?!?!?!

 

[laylalovesmac]

I got my shipping confirmation! Very excited for my first NARS order.

I don't think it's a dupe for Candy Yum-Yum, but time will tell.

Well, here's another pic of it: This was from one of the runway shows. I'm generally pretty modest about bright lippies, so that's probably what I consider neon. :lol:

 

[shontay07108]

Sheesh. If that's what it looks like, I'm glad I passed. :lol:

 

[BeckyBenett]

tt looks quite neon to me.. i passed on CYY bcos it was neon. so i guess im skipping on these..

 

[Honey&LemonGirl]

Aww, that's too bad. I kind of love it, I've been weirdly craving super bright lippies these days. :eyelove:

 

[Piarpreet]

this is NOT carthage. somebody mislabeled this picture.

[shontay07108]

Good to know that's not Carthage, because that lippie is just a bit much. I am going stir crazy waiting for my package. It's supposed to be here today. I want to take a nap, but I don't dare! :lol:

 

[WhatWouldJoanDo]

Agreed.
