I’m loving the look of Impassioned blush, Kari, Cressida, and Tarvos! So glad that they'll be permanent.

I would love to use Kari DI eyeshadow as a blush!!!

Has anyone tried the Hot Sands nordstrom exclusive collection yet?

Yep! I bought the hot sand/laguna duo and the colour is beautiful! I would only really use it as a highlight but it's such an amazing colour

Pretty disappointed with the Hammamet e/s duo but both the lipsticks look amazing!!

Thanks! It looked good in pics. I wonder why they didn't make it a single powder shade.

I agree that would be beautiful! I have hot sand illuminator (And the back up) and i am planning to get both multiple and a lipgloss

Someone who shall remain nameless reported the spring collection hits boutiques tomorrow. Has anyone else heard this? I thought the middle of January. I may have to head to a boutique tomorrow.

It launches online Nars on 31st (tomm) so probably the boutiques too???

Oh Goodie! It makes sense now that I think about it. I think they released a dual intensity palette on New Years last year and I ran to the boutique to get it. First one there.

Do you know if the boutiques will have the Hot Sands collection too?

I think just the eyeshadow palette launches, the whole collection is slated for the 15th ... Or else it's not up on their site yet

The eyeshadow palette is up now, on the NARS site...

The rest of the collection isn't up yet.

I picked up the new palette. When I got home I noticed my receipt says $75 but the website lists it for $59. I just called the store and they said they have to get back to me. I wondering if the website is in error or the store.

Edit- The store got back to me and said they are refunding me the difference. Great! I got nervous and ordered one from the website. I figured I could just refuse the delivery except that I ended up adding some things from the discontinued page.

Glad to hear you got it all sorted out! I ordered one myself and I cannot wait until it gets here!

According to her, Impassioned blush is warm-toned pink. So disappointed.

MAC Pink Cult is one of the first dupes- that seals it for me, I'm so in. I damaged my Pink Cult this past weekend.

I'm eyeing up sooo much of this collection! And I rarely buy during spring.

The lipsticks "Rosecliff" and "Banned Red" will be mine <3 they look beautiful!!

 

[Prettypackages]

I swatched them. They were sheer but nice. (I was talking about Hot Sands here)


I'm not sure about this collex yet.

Karen from Makeup and Beauty Blog posted a "First Impressions" video on YT (

Very interesting to see these products in action- and her immediate reactions to them. I'm still on the light green eyeshadow/ Impassioned blush/ Banned Red bandwagon.

Here are a few photos and swatches of Impassioned, Hammamet, and Tarvos.




NARS Impassioned Blush:




Impassioned is a soft muted neutral pink. When I first saw this in the pan, I thought "meh" but I was pleasantly surprised to see it show up on my NC30 skin tone. It gives the most beautiful natural-looking flush.




NARS Hammamet Duo Eyeshadow:




Hammamet contains a matte peachy beige and a metallic rosy bronze. They're both well pigmented and blend out nicely. The beige shadow is very close to my skin tone so you can barely see it on the swatches below, but I like to use this as a base to help even the color of my eyelids, and it does make a difference. The bronze shadow is very pretty! It's not too pink, not too brown. It's just right! I'm loving it as a wash of color on the eyelids for an easy, minimal everyday look.




NARS Tarvos Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow:




Tarvos is a frosty mint green. I absolutely adore this color. It's perfect for spring! The formula can be used wet or dry. (The photo below was swatched dry without a primer.)




I hope those swatches helped! Did any of these make your list?
