NARS Summer 2011

[MarieMary]

In case you need further proof that Cap Ferrat trio e/s and Carthage pure matte l/s are purely amazing, and if you want to see the Orgasm/Laguna/Albatross palette missmolliecule talked about a few messages back, check this out:

Basically there are swatches of the whole summer collection (except for the nail polishes) plus swatches of the Delphes trio e/s (fall 2011).

Okay, so I officially NEED New Order.

 

[Honey&LemonGirl]

The Cap Ferrat Trio is SO CUTEEE!!! It looks so summery and fresh and pigmented. That might just have to come home with me... New Order is definitely too sparkly for me. Pass, even though I'd love to purchase it just so it can sit pretty in my drawer of Nars things.

palette is so pretty, but i already have all of the colours in it :-( boo!!! my bad luck sorta

Dang New Order blush/highlighter looks really sparkly . . . im gonna have to swatch that one for myself . . . I dont want to much sparkly/glitter !!!!!!!!!! The eyeshadow trio (blue one ) looks pretty !!!!

 

[2browneyes]

I'm not really into sparkly blush either.

 

[EngineerBarbie]

I like sparkly blushes (I put up with Super Orgasm b/cI like the color) but New Order is starting to look *too* light and sparkly. This is one I'd need to swatch in person to see if the color even shows up right on me.

 

[2browneyes]

I keep looking at Wonder lg....I def gotta have it

 

[honybr]

I wasn't even looking at the blue/green trio (I don't even know the name I was paying it so little attention!) but now I'm thinking I want it. It's swatching quite nicely.

Still getting Wonder no matter what.

 

[Shadowy Lady]

I'm not even gonna bother making a list for this collection as I will probably buy most of it. Works ok for me as I haven't bought any MAC in months. My money all goes to Chanel and Nars

 

[LMD84]

holy crap! new order is like a disco ball! so this means i wont be using it as a blush, and because i have way too many highlighters i have no use for it. however i did buy deep throat blush today so that has made me feel better! hee hee!

 

[User38]

good Lord.. sparkly anything makes me look like a glittery prune.. sigh

well i'm not at the prune stage but it still isn't so great. i think i turn into a teenage girl going to her first school disco when i have glitter on my cheeks!

[missmolliecule]

It's definitely a highlighter and not a blush haha (New Order)

 

[MarieMary]

Based on what's posted on temptalia.com, all lip products and the blush/highlighter will be permanent. Eye and nail products are limited editions.

that's good. i dont need to rush to buy anything because i am not buying any of the eye or nail products

 

[MarieMary]

I agree. I'm glad I'll have time to think about which item I'd like more first, instead of rushing and get everything before it sells out.

Here is another look at the summer (and part of fall) collection from a UK blogger. She discusses texture and color, so it's pretty interesting.

thank you for the links, MarieMary!


The trio in the fall collection looks gorgeous!

Does anyone know how the size of the trios compares to the size of the blushes?

You're welcome.

If you're talking about packaging, the new trios are the same size as the duos and the blushes. If you're wondering about the amount of product, the blushes are 0.16 Oz (4.8g), the duos are 0.14 Oz (4g) and the e/s trios are 0.17 Oz (5.1g).
