NARS Fall 2011

[allThingsGirl]

Thanks for comparing Atlantic Blue and Outremer. I thought I do not need Outremer as I have AB, but I guess I was wrong

Hi there,

Honestly, they are very close but if you were to look for the differences there is some. The texture of both was the typical matte texture. I don't care for it but I will work with it for the right color. If you wanted to save some money, you'd be fine without Outremer. I'm the type of person to buy Outremer and then sell/swap the Atlantic Blue. Probably don't need both in your collection.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the Karla link...going to check them out now too!

Standouts for me in this collection are Outremer, the Rose/Grey duo, Pago Pago lippie, and the Velvet Matte Lip Pencil. The others fell flat.

Outremer is silkier to the touch than NARS' earlier formulations. Pago Pago is insanely wearable, and that duo is a lot more fabulous than I thought it was going to be.

Purchased everything online. When it get's here... I'll swatch it to death, as usual.

I'm loving the Taj Mahal and Exhibit A combination!

I'm tempted by Outremer, although I do feel like I already have a lot of blue shadows I don't wear. They keep following me home and I really don't wear blue that much... I want to see Pago Pago in person to figure out how much it's really going to do for my lips. I like nude, but if it's nothing but a slightly glossy coat... I don't need to spend $30 to get that. Still contemplating the shadow trio.

I'm definitely getting Delphes. I loved Karla's swatches of it. I want Outremer, but blue never looks good on me. I have green eyes and it just doesn't work. So I really should skip it, and just admire it on others.

The more I think about it, the more I'm only getting the Oasis l/g from this collection. I have MAC Atlantic Blue and between that and MUFE #22 it should do just fine.

Temptalia has started posting reviews. Wow. Mascate looks amazing. Hard to believe that it may actually be different from any of the reds I have already... Grand Palais also looks lovely, although I can't help thinking it would look nicer on dark eyes.

Matte lippies are not my friend but that red is stunning. I might have to try it. The duo just won't work on my skin, I'm afraid. The reddish color will make me look ill. I really want a couple of those liners. I will take a few minutes(hours) deciding if I want to order today.

I have a real thing for sage / khaki green at the moment, so I could not resist ordering the Delphes trio. I also ordered Oasis gloss, Oasis blush, and the Douceurs de Paris palette (which, randomly, has been relaunched on the UK website for fall after being out of stock for nearly a year..!)

@anita, the pleasures of paris set is fantastic; especially in the Fall.

After seeing Temptalia's swatches so far, my list remains unchanged. Except I'm even more excited about the red lipstick. I'm a total red lipstick addict (and especially matte reds) and Mascate doesn't look like any of the dozens of reds I own. I also am liking Grand Palais duo even more. It looks very unique to me

Now I'm debating whether to order online or just wait for this to hit the counters in Canada

 

[kimbunney]

I'm really interested in montego bay and Pago Pago.

Mascate is gorgeous. I can picture all 3 of you ladies rocking this. Grand Palais really NTBS IRL. The pictures simply don't do it justice. My friend who is a NARS artist applied it on me yesterday and it really made my green eyes pop.

I really like the blue purple-ness of Outremer. I can't wait to swatch it. I wonder about the chalky-ness of it all. I have oily lids, so maybe they can do me a favor and help the color stay on.

 

[shontay07108]

Ok, I just ordered Mascate, 3 Larger than Life pencils: Via Veneto(always need black), Madison Ave(I love grey), Rue Bonaparte(still looking for that perfect eye opening liner) and I threw in Petit Monstre lipstick which I have been wanting for the longest time. I'm excited. I'll swatch as soon as I get my stuff. I got 2nd day shipping because I am impatient.

 

[WhatWouldJoanDo]

My wishlist: Delphes, Grand Palais, Via Appia, Bad Influence nail polish (2010 LE)

 

[katred]

Grand Palais is sort of creeping onto my list, surpassing Delphes... And Mascate really looks stunning.

Does anyone know if the new website is going to be available outside the US? I love the new eyeshadow swatches. Nars is a French brand but I often feel like they leave us French people behind...
