they always had an exfoliator it just didn't have the word in its name: hydrating freshening lotion

I've had a chance to try everything out and I remain really, really impressed. This is a great collection and the items are quality. Puts my expectations pretty high for other Fall launches...

I have lots of swatches, but if you're wondering about how any specific shades compare that I haven't covered, feel free to ask. If it's something I own, I'm more than happy to have a look/ snap a photo.

I love your review! The comparison swatches are really helpful as well! Thank you, katred!
You made me feel like I want to wear Mighty Aphrodite tomorrow.
Katred, do you have MAC Mocha blush? Any idea if the base color of Mocha is similar to Outlaw? TIA!

Thanks ladies for the swatches! It's very helpful for those like me who don't have easy access to NARS to check out the collection in person. 
If anyone's interested, thebeautylookbook has great comparative swatches of Luxor, Undress Me, and Copacabana Multiples.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I do have Mocha and I swatched it against Outlaw, but I really didn't find them close at all. The base colour of Outlaw is more a reddish-pink shade, quite rosy, whereas Mocha is quite subdued and plummy (more mauve-tinged rather than red). And, of course, the golden shimmer of Outlaw has a huge effect on the final colour. That's why I felt it was easier to compare it to more coral-toned shades.I love your review!

Is anybody planning to buy new eyeliner stylos?
I wasn't interested at first, but now I'm considering buying brown and gray ones.

Thanks very much! Yes, I would say that there is a lot more of a pink/ red tone to Outlaw, whereas Torrid is more orange/ apricot. Which one do I prefer? Oh dear... I hate playing favourites with my blushes... But if I had to choose, I'd probably say Outlaw. pinker shades tend to work better on my complexion, but the big difference is how gorgeous the golden sheen looks on my skin. It really adds a lovely radiance without making it look like you smeared shimmer powder all over your face.

I have the black eyeliner stylo - they're nice ... I only have the one and use shadow overtop to change the colour. I still need to play more with precise eyeliner looks before I consider more.

Based on this swatch I actually like Luxor better but I don't think either that or Undress Me are a must have for me. I have Copacabana in Illuminator form and LOVE it. I mix it in my liquid foundation in fall/winter when I'm not tanned. In spring/summer I do the same with Super Orgasm Illuminator (as it's better with a tan)Thanks ladies for the swatches!

If I go for one, I'd go for Luxor (gorgeous opal kind of shade), then Copacobana, then Undress Me. The glitter was just a little too chunky for my tastes. The base colour is pretty, though- I'd actually say on my complexion, it would be more of a blush than a highlighter.

Thank you, katred! I heard the comparison between the two, and I was not sure. You explained it perfectly.

if you like the undress me multiple but not the glitter, then i wonder if the penny lane cream blush is a close non-glitter match

I'm sure you'll love your Outlaw! It's funny about Mighty Aphrodite. It really didn't care for the Wonder Woman collection, except the cheek products- I still use both blushes and both MSFs all the time.Thank you, katred! I heard the comparison between the two, and I was not sure. You explained it perfectly.The golden shimmer of Outlaw is to die for.Hope I will get it soon! BTW, I wore Mighty Aphrodite today.

Thanks, now u've got me thinking again. My natural skintone (sans tan) is about NW22. Do you think it would work as a blush on me or would it still be a highlighter? I'd def skip it if it's a highlighter as I have similar shades.
