Bland promos so far. Bowie, Aerosmith, the Stones, Bob Marley etc inspired? That's pretty cool.

What's the texture like, [MENTION=35539]Monsy[/MENTION]?

 

[Monsy]

highlighters are great bronzers not so much. kind of stiff and dry

Ohhh
Is the highlighter texture anything like Tribulation? I've been loving that lately but the swatches don't look as smooth

 

[Monsy]

Nope. it is like in the banc de sable, more like dual intensity formula, not powder.

I tried to order it, but the site was glitchy for me. It charged my debit card twice but said the order didn't go through! I'll just wait for it to show up elsewhere. I don't feel like having 90 temporary holds on my checking account! Keep us posted on how you like it.

That's good news. I'm rather impatient when it comes to makeup....and everything else.

I was able to check out the NARS Beauty Exclusives at Nordstrom today. Overall, I wasn't wowed. The only purchase I made was the mini multiples. There was a good range of colors and since I don't have any multiples, a good way to try them.

the matte pencil sets - the formula seemed ok but all of the colors in each set are very similar. Swatching on my hand, 2 colors seemed to be identical, I'm sure on my lips there would be no difference.

the blush palette is ok if you don't have many blushes from NARS. I already have hot sand and laguna. The blush colors were 'meh'. I have both Unfiltered palettes and the colors in those were better.

I have to say that I wish NARS would get rid of the rubbery textured packaging once and for all. Almost all of my products in that type of packaging from NARS and other brands end up sticky. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I don't live in the hottest climate either. I'm going to avoid this type of packaging in the future or depot the products right after purchase.

I was curious to see a review of the NARS products. I guess in the lip set should be eyes and lips, since the shades are similar. Use one on the lips and one on the eyes.
